So here's the story.
Last night I was bored with what was in the fridge and keg. Grabbed a New Belgium Fat Tire Amber Ale (not that it needs introduction) and a Widmer Halo IPA. Mixed em in a stein and I'm in love. Almost perfect malty, biscuity, bright and hoppy goodness (IPA's are generally a bit strong hop wise for my palate).
So... first off - would the mix of these two fall within any "style" or not? If so, which - and given the two commercial brews mixed, what commercial brew would most closely replicate the two combined? If not, any hints on formulating a trial recipie for a newb (3rd brew under belt today...)?
Sorry if this doesn't make sense. Maybe I should have posted in drunken ramblings...
