Brewers Notes:

We brewed this for a friend's wedding, thus the name.

This brew was one of the few that was almost perfect, straight after primary fermentation (lucky for us!). Most require extensive bottle-aging or a secondary to remove off flavors. This one was just like Celis White. After sitting in the bottle for a few months, it actually turned into something that tasted a lot like an orange-wheat beer. There was a definite orange-juice note. The camomile tea also came though well, adding some nice sweetness, but the other spices were a bit lost in the complexity.

note: This is just slightly too dark to qualify for judging. Try extra pale dry malt extract.
