time to play the "can you name this style by the pictures" game.

Quad

Belgian Rye IPA

Nope to all. All, nocsimian was REALLY on the right track...

Midnight Wheat Saison?

biere de garde

Patersbier

Nope nope nope.

Speaking of Midnight wheat, i have a recipe that calls for a lb of white wheat. Can I sub a lb of Midnight wheat to add a lot of color to the beer but retain the attributes the white wheat provides? would any roastiness be added? How about any bitter harshness? Thanks!

Nope nope and nope lol

A couple more guesses, then I'll give the next clue.

Opening guesses to everyone.

Chocolate Saison? Why, because it sounds delicous!

California common

nocaimian, Reno, and D Ranged have all danced around this one...

Classically, the brewers made this with whatever they had on hand.

I'll accept BJCP style, BA style, generic style, or specific style!

Farmhouse Ale

gruit

Red Saison

16B Belgian Pale Ale? Now I'm just shooting in the dark...

Ding! Ding! Ding! That'll do! It's a pumpkin saison!

I wanted to give it to nocsimian, but there was no rye in this beer. I wanted to give it to Reno, but there was no Midnight Wheat in it. I almost gave it to D Ranged, but the tiny amount of pale chocolate imparted no chocolate flavors at all. Anyone interested in the grist bill?

Aw balls, that's what I get for being too specific

For a 6 gallon batch:

OG: 1.060
FG: 1.004

4# 2-row
4# Continental pilsner
1# Munich
1# pale wheat
1# Golden Naked oats
0.5# pale chocolate
0.5# beet sugar
58 oz double-baked Libby's Pure Pumpkin
1# rice hulls

Bittered with Hersbrucker Hallertau, flavored with Tettnang.

Fermented with 75% Wyeast 3724, 25% US-05.

This was one of the most complex beers I've tasted. It was realllllly good, but there was so much going on, it was hard to describe any of it! Bringing a couple bottles to the AHA Rally this Sunday, so maybe someone can help identify it for me. As time progressed, I got a big vanilla flavor that worked perfectly with everything else.

Do you see why I wanted to give it to nocsimian? I had almost every type of grain EXCEPT rye in here!

You can take it if you post before I do... Go ahead actually I don't think I'm gonna drink tonight. Farmhouse ale is just a little better than guessing "lager". There are American farmhouse ales as well as French and Belgian

I agree and wanted to give it to one of the saison guessers, but like I said earlier, they all specified things that were clearly not in the beer.

I had 3.85% of the grain bill correct! :cross:

Nothing? Ok I did end up having a beer tonight. I want both the style and the country of origin for the win.

American Pale Ale

Irish Red
