Revisiting some old beers

Now that I am back in Seattle and have access to some of my beers again, I want to comment about a few that I have posted about earlier.

Pale Ale (Earlier post)
As far as the carbonation goes, I am hoping to rig something up so that I do not have to bottle condition any beers anymore and the carbonation problem with this beer will not exist. I had some more or this beer at home and again my six pack was hit or miss on the carbonation. Based on a well properly carbonated beer, I think this is a few tweaks away from being a good IPA. It was overdone on the hops, but with a little more malt (and alcohol) this will be a very drinkable IPA.

Christmas Beer/Candy Cane Beer (Earlier post)
Definitely turned into an abortion of a beer. I did my candy cane calculations based on the amount of sugar and took no account for the peppermint in the candy canes. I over did the candy by at least 4X. I never did do the orange peel and coriander, which may have helped some, but it seemed so bad I didn't want to waste my efforts doing that. Lesson learned: you can always add more of an adjunct during the process, but can never take adjunct out once it is in there. I might try this again, but start very small with the candy canes.

Citra Hop American Wheat (Earlier post)
I would venture to call this my favorite beer that I have made. It doesn't really fall into any specific beer category because it is way over the top with the hops to be an American Wheat, but i wouldn't throw it in the Blonde or Pale category either. I just put it in the awesome category. I equate it a lot to Three Floyd's Gumballhead. It is very drinkable but is also very satisfying to the hophead in me. The hops aren't bitter though, as the name would suggest they have a very pleasant citrus taste to them. Here comes the problem, how do I make it again with Citra hops not being widely available? I have some ideas, so we'll see, but hopefully the acreage of these hops will continue to increase and I will be able to revisit this beer again sometime.
