I'll start by saying the answer probably is "Enjoy your beer, but don't ask anyone to judge it." But here's the question, for a slow Friday evening.
So I made something much like a cream ale (1C): English pale, corn, and a little Munich for depth. But I used purple corn. It looks like this:
What are you drinking now?
It's quite pretty, and a very good cream ale; the corn adds color and maybe a slight sweet note.
If I were to enter it in a competition, should I just go with 1C? The other option would be 31A (Alternative Grain), but that says appearance should match base style (Nope!) and "the additional grain should be noticeable in flavor" (Nope!)
What do you think?
