Also, alot of beer drinkers that start getting into Micros, like Blue Moon. So doing a Belgian Wit style would please alot of people. Austin Homebrew has a great kit that is similar to Blue Moon but taste alot better. It has orange peel and coriander seeds

I have the recipe for it also, if you want to build it yourself. But its alot easier to just buy the kit

Ahh, yea, I forgot about a witbeer, nice! That would also fix my concerns over clarity, and it doesn't matter if they don't pour it right and get some of the bottle conditioned yeast mixed in. I might run that idea by the bride, thanks!

That blonde ale recipe is real similar to the one I posted, Travis. Have you ever used rice extract? I thought that might lighten it up, but don't have any experience with it.

Best of luck Gerard...I've contemplated getting into home brewing, but have not as of yet...so no advice, just wishing you the best.

I have never used rice extract but I dont think it make that big of a difference.
There are 100s of people on Homebrewtalk that have brewed that Blonde recipe I posted for their non Micro brew friends and have got great results.
If I were you I would lean more towards the Belgian Wit/Blue Moon style
