Seems like you could go with ale rates at that temp, hybrid if you want less yeast expression.

You want fruity? Use a regular lager strain at ale temps, pear city! I had a Cal Common flight at White Labs tasting room that was from a half dozen of their lager strains and they were all fruit salad.

FWIW, White Labs has really cleaned up their game since they've opened and even since the last year. Generally if they have a lager it's not a fruit bomb like that Cal Common batch was. Was it a fluke? Maybe.
Their beer isn't *awesome*, but I've had enough of their beers to feel confident that they're generally representative of what they're trying to accomplish.

picnic tap + tubing works pretty damn well, imo.

Has anyone here tried fermenting these lager strains under pressure to suppress ester production? I know White Labs has a high pressure lager strain locked in its vault, but I don't see why it couldn't work with other strains.
