Nope. This is definitely not your typical style. It's not American, German, or Belgian.
 
Here's an old one. The left is a clone attempt (that I rushed to taste and didn't crash), the right is the commercial beer.

I think a Red Rye IPA and an Amber are different in that a red rye IPA would be more IPA in character where as an Amber would be more malty and not so heavily hopped.

Either way...

Let me know if I should drop any hints as this is my first image post. If season is important it was brewed for the cold.
 
FYI a Red rye is otherwise known as an Amber rye... so....

Red's Rye PA is the name of the beer. I think a Rye PA is common enough to not be considered an amber rye. I think its defining characteristics are the hop flavor and aroma and the rye spicyness.
 
Lol, not so much, but I'll let you take it since you guessed the exact beer.

Add rye to it, and that's the answer.

Ok, but here it is listed as a Rye Beer http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/1199/16074

Here its style is "Specialty Grain" http://www.ratebeer.com/beer/founders-reds-rye-pa/30010/

I'm just saying a Red IPA or Rye PA are becoming very common and no one who orders an "amber" is going to expect one of those two.

Its also Red's Rye PA, not Red Rye. There are dozens of other Rye PAs out there that aren't considered red, but are amber in color.
 
I think it comes down to semantics. You can make a stout hoppy. Doesn't make it a Stout PA. bobbrews was right, and Amber ale and Red ale are typically interchangeable. He even went so far as to include rye in his guess. Red Rye = Amber Rye.

VT, the contrast is all off in your post so this is going to make it difficult, but I will guess some sort of Blueberry fruit ale or Porter.
 
Dark Brown Baltic Porter... not light brown. I repeat not light brown... Because that would make it a totally different beer :)
 
Milk stout (I almost said sweet stout, phew... woulda been wrong if I did and milk stout was the answer)

Dude, just let it go.
 
The point was made.

Next time, try not to be so hung up on the most minor of details and maybe it won't backfire on you. Have fun kiddies.
