Made a interesting mistake. Brewed a Grumpys Longreach Masterbrew with a can of Grumpys low bitter goo. W-34/70 yeast. Brewed at 14C and lagered a month at 2C. 8 weeks in bottle. First taste - thought what's this muck !! tasted nothing like I was expecting (a dry quaffer). Then the passionfruit in the back came through. Drunk a bit more - what does this remind me of. Little Creatures Pale Ale. Had one in the fridge and did the side by side bit. LCPA was a bigger (cleaner ?) flavour but by comparison, my little extract wasn't too far behind. Done the test twice (got to be a little scientific here) and yes, I'm happy my extract is quite acceptable as an unintentional LCPA clone.
Point is, wasn't trying for that flavour and before having my first LCPA just a month ago, I didn't even know that you could get that type of flavour. But now I'm at least happy with my unintended result.
Is there a simple listing anywhere that lists the types of yeasts you need to get certain types of flavours. Or is it the malt plus yeast that gets the results?
