I know others of you out there can identify with this challenge. My wife’s favorite commercial beers are Grolsch and Stella Artois. But she’ll like stouter, darker beers from time to time, like a Vanilla Porter. Some wheat beers, even a Guinness sometimes. My homebrews always seem to be too bitter for her.
Today she sampled the latest version of my “American/Bohemian Lager,” and I finally got a “good!” and a “yes” to the question of “would you drink it again?”
The winner: "American Lager #5". OG 1.050, FG 1.012 ABV 5.0%. Wyeast 2007 Pilsen Lager. Northern Brewer and Mandarina Bavaria hops - IBU 11. 2-row American Pale malt and a little Vienna malt and cara-hell malt.
