Hey everyone,

This is my first post on AHB, and after reading some of the brilliant posts on here in the past, I'm hoping for some advice and help as a new home brewer.

When I was in the US last this time last year, I came across a beer called Leinenkugel's® Orange Shandy (https://leinie.com/Beers.aspx#orangeshandy). While I typically steer clear of any beer with "shandy" or a fruit in the name, this one was surprisingly good. It wasn't a particularly sweet brew, but more kind of like a Hoegaarden with a fresh squeezed orange sherbet flavour through it.

I'm wanting to replicate the brew, but given you can get it here, it might be difficult for folks giving advice without being able to try it. I'm hoping there might be some good ideas out there on what ingredients and method I could use. I'm relatively new to brewing, so would still likely use a coopers type tin as a base.

Any advice would be really great - thank you!
 
Website says pale malt, wheat, cluster hops and natural orange flavour.
Maybe morgans blue mountain gold, wheat malt to correct gravity, cluster tea bag or small amount of pellets and some kind of preservative free orange flavoured thing that reminds you of the taste. Tweak from there.
 
Thanks Manticle! When you say cluster hops bag or pellets, can you give me a little more detail amounts etc? I'm very new to this ;). Is "cluster" a type of hops? In terms of orange flavour, does anything come to mind?
