This is either a REALLY good idea, or the worst idea ever. Here's what I was thinking....
"Clown Juice"
Base: Strong Belgian Style Ale, ~10-12%ABV; 10% Light Crystal (should be sweet); Maybe 30% Wheat Malt?
Yeast: Wyeast 1388?
Hops: No bittering hops, but lots of late addition fruity hops- Amarillo if I can source them. Maybe some Nelson Sauvin as well? Dry hopped with more Amarillo.
Other Additions: Cotton Candy Syrup in place of Belgian Candy Syrup
Like this one?

+ Citrus Zest (tangerine, grapefruit, lemon).
Would ferment this warm (probably wait until summer to do this) to encourage ester formation (bubblegum, even would not be amiss?).
Am I insane? :fro:
