Yard Dog Brewing Company-- Lemon Zest

Where there's guaranteed to be a t-shirt one day for their pilot pale ale or IPA that states-- "Shug, just leave the head on" Andrew Mc. offers up his Lemon Zest. A Belgian Wit made with coriander and 2 ounces of lemon zest if memory serves me correctly. Color is a cloudy light marmalade hue with a soft yeasty nose. The lemon runs across the palate at the tail end of the swallow and a nice peppery-ness spikes about. Bottled 4/14 at 6.9%abv, carbonation is good but more on the initial pour than expected. Think next batch he may alter the recipe a bit, only problem is as a homebrewer you have to drink the last batch before striking up the fermenter. Well, in this case "problem" isn't the right word, because I'd have taken more than the 3 he left behind!
