My wife loved Pete Wicked Summer Brew. This was my attempt at a clone. Came out great. You can play with the amount of lemon zest. 1 lemon was a bit to little for our taste, 3 was a bit to much for me, but my wife liked it, though she's a lemon in her Hefeweizen kinda girl. I recommend the zest of 2 medium lemons to start
