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 do have the impression that it's oil and particles floating at the surface that prevent the head from being formed. Why would that not be a problem when one kegs?
