I know this isn't something most people would want to do :), but I'd
like to induce a cardboard taste to a light lager. What would be a good
way to do this?

You're nuts, unless you're just doing a dored beer to find out what
oxidation tastes like. Either way, all you need to do is aerate the beer.
Pop one open and let it sit out to go stale for a couple of days. Mmm,
delicious oxidation.
Or, if you really want a lot of cardboard flavor, you could "dry hop" with
real cardboard. :P

Step 1. Brew a light lager.
Step 2. Buy a case of Bud Lite.
Step 3. Add Bud Lite to beer before bottling.
Step 4. Pour ruined batch down neighbor's drain.
Hope that helps.

Soak some cardboard in the beer. You could be the first firstto get that
big dry cardboarded beer aroma that so many try to avoid.

Chekc out the BJCP.org... They have a guideline for doring beers.
It's in the study guide....
They suggest to mimic papery/stale taste to "open a bottles to air,
reseal, and keep at 100F or warmer for several days"
I hope this helps...

Oxygenate the beer post-fermentation. I have no idea why someone
would want to do this on purpose, but there you go.

On occasion I have brewed a batch for a "special" purpose - usually
a, "in" joke for someone. A number of years ago I had a friend who
was part of a group that called itself "The Weasels." As a joke,
I brewed up a bright yellow ale with quite a bit of hop aroma (can't
remember which hop was primary at the time) and called it "Weasel
Whiz". I did my best to have it resemble urine in colour and aroma
without just buying him a case of BMC.

Why go through the effort to do this? Have you nothing better to do
with your time? There is no way anyone likes that characteristic in a
beer, I thought so anyway.
Just splash the hell out of it once it's fermented, after about a week
in the primary...or do it once you have it in the secondary. 99.999% of
homebrewers take anal retentive steps to avoid oxidizing their brews
but go right ahead........
