help me decide my next 'lighter' brew

Fri Mar 21, 2008 9:03 am

So I've been leaning toward darker ales in general but like to throw in a lighter one here and there just for good measure. I've already done a Blonde and a Belgian Wit which both turned out quite nice. What should I do next? note: i can't do lagers yet

I've become partial to cream ales. Ferment on the low end with US 56 and you'll end up with a beer that tastes quite a bit like a lager.
