Alas, Mark......I think we may have hit a brick wall (big snowbank?) on that one. GG appears to have been a non-beer kind of guy. Anyone have evidence to the contrary? I'm guessing on the hops, but maybe Saaz or other "noble" variety? That Mozart....what a plucky little dumpster... wasn't it GG who remarked that he died too *late* rather than too soon? (I'll bet he meant *compositionally*...) cheers jh
