I am reposting this poll. I suspect that because I originally created the poll as a private entry so that I could edit it easily, it doesn't want to let anyone but me vote. I also have an update, we've just got word that this project is a go! Hooray for beer!

This is a poll for those of you who plan to attend Minicon 46. There will be two kegs of home brewed beers at the convention. We've already started on one beer, a Nut Brown Ale. This Brown Ale is based on the recipe for Pete's Wicked Ale. PWA is a sweet, earthy beer with subtle flavors that are described as buttery, with a hint of raisins.

This poll is to help us choose a second beer. We've narrowed it down to these four, they are arranged with the most complex flavors first. Here is a brief description of the options.

• West Coast IPA - An American version of an India Pale Ale, similar to Pike's IPA. This is a full-bodied, malty beer with complex hop flavors and an aroma that is floral, herbal, and spicy.
  
• Irish Red Ale - An amber colored smooth, sweet, caramel beer with a roasty malt flavor.
  
• Bavarian Wheat - Patterned after ale styles of Southern Germany. This is a pale ale with citrusy tones from a yeast that is uncommon to other wheat beers.
  
• Boundary Waters Wheat - A clean, crisp, refreshing beer with minimal secondary flavors.


We'll probably brew on Sunday afternoon of this weekend, but no later than Tuesday of next week. Get your vote in as soon as possible!

As for there now being two polls, with votes already cast in the comments of the previous entry, I will double check and make sure that everything from the previous entry is counted.
