A favourite I've brewed a couple of times, was an American Brown Ale brewed for a homebrew club mini comp on the theme of chocolate. It was inspired by Chocolate Lime sweets, and drank like them, citrus up front and dark chocolate bitterness at the end. Would likely work as a chocolate orange theme, swapping the Wai-iti and citra for Manderina Bavaria and Amarillo. I like an American Brown, a nice easy drinking centre ground beer.
