Left this in the primary for 3 months - probably too long and it may have started a small infection. We'll see how it tastes...

There's still some sourness, but it's interesting. It's not true to form as a drinkable lager with that, but it still tastes good. Not going too fast in the fridge, though. And I probably wouldn't share it with someone. ::shrugs::
