Experimental Sweet and Sour Beer - Success!

Some of you may recall my thread from a month or so ago where I asked for input on making an experimental sweet and sour beer. A well rounded golden ale for a base with yellow candi sugar for the sweet part and acid malt for the sour part. Well, it worked. I bottled it last night and it's delicious. Can't wait to age it and see how it develops.

I'd say the sweet and sour aspects are well balanced and nothing is particularly cloying. The hops used worked well, gave it a slightly floral aroma with a delicate, herbal flavor. There is a nice malty after taste with complex sweet and sour notes throughout. For anyone who's interested, I'm reposting the modified recipe. Yes Virginia, that is 1.5 lbs of acid malt for a 6 gallon batch.

Anyway, cheers to sharing the wealth.
