I love the point in the lagering phase where the malt softens just a bit and begins to meld well with the hop flavor and bitterness.  Happened at around 8 weeks in the keg for my last Munich Helles.  That one slowly progressed into "it".

I really enjoyed my last batch (just kicked it two days ago) with 86% Best Pils/14% Global Kolsch malt. Really showcased the pilsner malt well.

I may try that next time around. I used 91% pils, 5% Chit, and 4% Carahell in this one. It was all about the pils and I really like it.

A few of the very tasty beers I received from fmader recently :

A delicious Breakfast Stout (a la Founders)





A tasty Quad with pureed dark fruits





And a well made American Barleywine





EDIT -  Really nice work, Frank. Thanks again!

Duvel definitely looks more like yours, ie., pale and clear. I wonder if there's some Aromatic or Vienna (or similar) in the Pranqster giving it the more gold hue.

Haven't picked up any Duvel yet, but here's a comparison against Damnation (which is on the left; and sorry for the terrible photo).  The color was much closer.

The flavor was also pretty close.  Damnation has a touch more mouthfeel and is a little bit fruitier in both flavor and aroma.  I feel like I could almost clone it with a few changes.  What I really want to do is figure out how to get a bit more yeast character.
