Lite American lager, quite deliteful, actually! Even though it was just 2-row, rice flakes & minimal hopping, it had a surprising amount of flavor! Very 'grainy' as my wife called it. At one point though I accidentally left my keezer's temperature probe outside, which briefly caused ice crystals to form before I thawed it out again, so... does that mean I can call this an 'ice beer'? lol
cold IPA, basically same grain bill as the lite lager but kicked up a notch. Appropriately dry hopped with cryo hops, and it was in the keezer at the same time as the lite lager, so I guess I could say this beer was an X-tra cold IPA! I really liked this one - I used the standard 'cheater' hops: Citra, Mosaic and Simcoe, all in equal measure, and bittered with CTZ. Hard to go wrong with that combo.
Flanders red - a calculated blend of 2 year old & 1 year old beers. Hits all the notes of cherry tarts & that lovely vinous Rodenbachy je ne sais quoi.
Oud bruin - also a mix of 2 year old & 1 year old beers. The first thread of this beer I soured an unhopped wort with lacto prior to boiling the lacto-soured wort in some hops, followed by a standard fermentation with sacch and later some brett. Kind of like a sour mash but with more steps. The second thread of the beer I just straight up added lacto at the same time as sacch after boiling and hopping. Second thread never got that sour, despite using the hop-tolerant lactobacto brevis strain. The 2nd thread contributed more of a malty backbone to the beer. Overall, similar to the red but the bruin has a much more pronounced malty edge to it. I like it more, and see it aging very well in the years to come - if I can keep it around that long!
