Ok, so some of you guys may have seen my thread about overshooting my ABV on my blonde... By a ton haha well I tasted it the other day and it's not terrible but not something I would want to drink. It's fairly dry, with very little flavor but not too bad of an alcohol burn. Basically drinkable but not something I would probably like to drink, unless I just wanted to get wasted.
Soooo... I'm going to experiment a bit with adding fruits and spices to secondary and see what I come up with. I'm basically blending the blonde style with more fall type flavors, Apple, cranberry, orange and cinnamon and clove. If it turns out decent, then I'm going to name it the Indian Summer Ale.
Basically, the blonde was shooting for about 8%abv as kind of a blonde strong ale. I overshot and hit 12%. I figure I'll age it in secondary until mid December at cellar temps and see how it turns out. Anyone have any other suggestions? This batch has gone full experimental lol
