I brewed an all extract beer for the light beer drinkers around here. 4 lbs of LME, 2 lbs of Rice Syrup, and .5 oz x 2 of hop pellets that i cannot remember (I think Willamette and something??).
Its been in the keg for 2.5 weeks now and I just don't like the flavor - or lack of. It goes between bitter/green to blah. My wife (who likes light beer) doesn't even really like it.
I want to add some flavor so I can blow this keg and get my Hefe on tap. Any thoughts on adding some flavor to make it drinkable? I thought about trying the following (not all of them, just one or the other):
1) 2 cups of orange juice or lemon juice
2) 1/2 cup of triple sec
3) Dry hop with Cascade
4) 4 cups of apple juice (kind of like Shock Top's Apple Wheat)
5) Zesting an orange and half a grapefruit and steep in boiling water
Other thoughts?
