All but the slightest hint of orange nose has disappeared. No orange flavor is detectable: just a well balanced wheat beer remains. Has a bit of caramel color and some actual body even with amped up carbonation in the bottle (more color and body than your average wheat beer). Very mild wheat flavor adds a nice touch without overpowering. Very refreshing and drinkable. Would brew again with more orange zest (perhaps in secondary) and swap the munich for a bit more wheat.
sampled as bottled. not sure why this fermented to such a low FG at 1.004. has a strong rubbing alcohol odor and flavor. hoping it mellows with some conditioning. otherwise, very subtle orange/citrus hints with dry, yet some remaining sweetness as an aftertaste. surprised how little the wheat added to the flavor profile. Decent lighter brew with some hoppiness.
took a gravity sample (1.022). lots of great smelling yeast floating on top, still working. sampled from midway down the fermenter and stole a taste while taking a reading. Great wheat flavor, subtle citrus (by no means over fruity). I have a feeling this is going to be a good one!
