I am brewing a special beer for Indigo this year to bring to retreat but also want some input for the second pony keg ~

summer flavors are abundant right now to add and infuse with beer ~

what flavors do you like?
here are some examples ~

ginger lime wheat ~ blond beer base with fresh lime juice and ginger root ~ the ginger root is really light and delicate on the palate :)
Fiesta wheat ~ blond beer with roasted anaheim and pablano peppers, fresh lemon juice and a hint of cilantro yum!
spanish coffee porter ~ porter based with hints of cinnamon and coffee oohhhhh yeah!
Black Opal IPA ~ black based IPA (normally golden) with a lovely hop palate ~ imagine a stout with hop flavors :)
Vanilla Baby Stout ~ my barley cup trophy winner ~ sweet american stout with vanilla drooool ~
Hot Rob Wheat ~ wheat based with many roasted jalepenos

those are some of the things I've done and love playing with flavors and hops ~ give me your input and let me know what you think :)

much love
your brewmistress Jen

    Ginger Lime Wheat!

    but being the coffe fanatic I'd be down to try the coffee brew.... but yeah that may be better if I get a chance to come and visit Zephyr in the fall / winter;)

    Ginger Lime Wheat! Ginger Lime Wheat! Ginger Lime Wheat!

      Jen, I think it's gonna be unanimous... Everyone wants the porter.... oh, I mean the ginger lime wheat :) (This one was also my vote, though the vanilla baby stout ROCKS!)

        Sounds like the Ginger Lime Wheat is the winnah! Score !

        The special brew for Indigo is Bumble Blue Pale Ale ~ it sounds like she would be in her garden with flowers and home and family all about her :)

        Nice pale ale with a hop palate that won't overwhelm you like some IPA's do ~

        What a great combo we have put together!

          Lightly hopped? You just stole my heart, Jen!

          Bumble Blue Pale Ale. Yup, I can see Indigo and Tehya running around in their garden with the bees and flowers and dragon flies flitting all about them.
