I'm thinking about submitting one of my brews to a contest in a couple of weeks and I'm unsure about the category. I brewed what is basically an IPA (along the lines of Lagunitas Sumpin' Sumpin' Ale), and added lemongrass & ginger at flameout & to the fermenter. It's a pale ale grain bill with about 40% white wheat malt - came out to about 7% ABV.
I guess I'm wondering if it should go in the IPA category or in the specialty beer category - or something else (herb beer?) I am pleased with the result - a nice citrusy effervescence to the palate.
Any suggestions are welcome. Thanks!
