This thread got me thinking about using a lager yeast at lager temps to ferment a recipe that's more traditionally associated with an ale. While I'm sure it's technically possible to ferment out any wort with any yeast, surely some styles are more amenable to the idea than others.
So what beers work well by this measure? I'm guessing an APA could be pretty nice converted to a lager, but what about something a little more unusual - an english bitter perhaps? A belgian wit? Or some weird stout / lager hybrid?
Anyone experimented? What flavours work? What flavours don't?
