I agree about saisons. But this winter I accidently stumbled on a "holiday" beer style that after making my own I realized makes a great summer lawnmower beer. I picked up some New Belgian Accumulation Holiday White Ipa. Basically it's a witbier but with the IBUs of an IPA. You get the crisp, lightness of a wit with the hopbite of your favorite hops. In my case since I really liked t NB's version, I stuck with their hops (Target, Centennial, dry hopped with Mosaic and Amarillo) then shifted my house wit recipe to fit the OG (1058) and the abv of their beer, and then tweaked the hop scheduling til I got the 70ibus.
The beer was so smooth that I kicked the keg in like 2-3 weeks. And I brewed another batch right away.
5 lbs Pilsner (2 Row)
2 lbs Wheat, Flaked=
2 lbs White Wheat Malt =
1 lbs Oats, Flaked =
0.5 oz Target [11.0%] - First Wort
0.3 oz Centennial [10.0%] - First Wort
9.0 oz Cane (Beet) Sugar =
0.5 oz Centennial [10.0%] - Boil 60 min
0.5 oz Target [11.0%] - Boil 60 min
0.3 oz Centennial [10.0%] - Boil 30 min
0.3 oz Target [11.0%] - Boil 30 min
0.3 oz Centennial [10.0%] - Boil 5 min
0.3 oz Target [11.0%] - Boil 5 min
1 pkgs Belgian Ale (White Labs #WLP550) Yeast
1.0 oz Amarillo Gold [8.5%] - Dry Hop 7 days
1.0 oz Mosaic -Dry Hop 7 days
Now I don't know why the call theirs a holiday beer, but oh well it's tasty, light and refreshing, and the hops are pretty grapefruity and overall it makes for a crisp beer.
