I've said it before, but I am eminently lucky in my marriage; my husband loves what I do in the brewery, and brags on it every chance he gets. One of the fun things about having a spouse who is in tune with my hobby, is testing my beers on him; just now did a blind (to him) taste test of my WF and CF lagers; grain bills and hops were the same, just the fermentation was different. I didn't really have a goal for the test other than to see which one he preferred. So I gave him a small taster of each, and just asked which one he thought was the 'younger' beer. After several tastes, he selected the cold-fermented one, which at 5 weeks is definitely the older of the two. When I asked him why he picked that one (still not telling him which was which), he said it was just meh in flavor, while the other one (the WF one which is just 7 days old today) had better mouthfeel, and more flavor. In my own opinion, I like the WF better; I tend to like my beer fresh, and it's got a stronger malt backbone than the CF one. If I give it a chance, it would age out into something more resembling a 'traditional' lager, but I like the fresh taste when it's new. If I were to compare it to something commercial, it's close to a Heineken without the lightstruck flavor that Heineken can have. All in all, a great day for my brewery.
