What an awesome summer beer!! Honey addition late leaves the aromatics intact and makes for a very quenching beer. I have bottled this beer in the past and its drinkable 2 weeks into the botttle, but I just kegged a batch and I am drinking now after only 3 days force carbonation. Final result is a somewhat sweet wheat beer, nicely cloudy form the suspended yeast. This one is a little more hoppy than some American Wheat recipes, but the use of Tettnanger instead of Hallertau lends a nice change. Try it and I think you will make it many times more!!!
