Hrm, nothing about the recipe should be head killing. When I've made it it always throws a big head.
Drew,Did you ever bottle this beer? or only serve from kegs? if there is oil from the zest it would probably float on the surface so if you are serving from a keg you wouldn't have any problems. Homoeccentricus (Man, you gotta put your first name in your sig line or something. that's a beast to type) could it be fusels (hot alcohol flavors) or too low pH? (tartness).I'm just going to assume you have sparkling clean hand wiped beer glasses of course.

I collect movies (think Once Upon A Time In The West) and tv series (think House Of Cards) where the bad guy is called Frank, there's lots of them. Something to do with the name.Beginning of this year I brewed the citra saison, which is more or less the same recipe without the orange, and there the head was ok. I have the impression it's killer orange particles that destroy the head...
I would bet more on the oils from the zest.
