I've been asked by a woman to make a batch of beer for her, whilst simultaneously trying to get my wife turned on to beer. The problem both have with beer is that it's too bitter for their tastes. Run of the mill pale lagers being all they've really considered beer. I'll occasionally coax the wife into trying one of my IPAs or stouts but shes pretty quick to hand the glass back to me.
So here's the challenge as per their requests: Make something sweeter with a lot of citrus/grapefruit/tropical fruit coming through without the bitterness.
Here's what I'm thinking:
Vienna (because its my personal favorite) maybe a little crystal.
Only late addition hops with Cascade, Amarillo, motueka, and/or mosaic (only citrusy/fruity I have available)
Maybe throw in some lactose.
Would i need the full hour boil? Any ideas?
