Recipe from Beer and Brewing Magazines recipe stash...sounded cool for a fun summer beer. Provided as a pilot recipe from Hardywood Park Craft Brewery in VA, but I adapted it a bit to make it my own...replaced pilsner malt with German Best Maltz 2-Row Pale Malt and added some orange peel to kick up the citrus flavor a bit.

Notes:

Beer came out very citrusy and tasty. Smooth mouth feel and a little more bitterness then typical for a Hef, but that was expected. What was not expected was the milky haziness...it was expected to be cloudy, but it is even cloudier and thick looking, like a milk shake. Crazy...didn't have any Spanish Moss so that might be part of it.
