18D will peg the underlying style. However for the win you'll have to guess what this would be entered under
Im having a hard time making this one fun...
There are no specific style guidelines save one.

Quadrupel?

I guess I'm confused. 18D is a Belgian Golden Strong. Duvel is the beer the style us fashioned after. What do you define as "underlying style" vs "style"? Sorry, I'm new RO this game, but I like it!!

This is pretty much giving it away, or at least vastly narrowing it down, but in the spirit of keeping the game moving I would add that some of the categories on the BJCP style guidelines are basically wide open, but when entering one of these beers an "underlying style", must be indicated.

The prominent flavor this beer exhibits is not from malt, yeast, or hops

Closest yet. However its not honey that's flavoring this beer, and rather than a particular brew callout im really just looking for the category this beer would fall into (since the color of the beer does very little to suggest what it is actually flavored with)

Oh, 21A.

Well, it can't be 22b, because it isn't Christmas time, and I decided that I am adding a new BJCP guideline that says that any 22b is a 22a unless it is November, December, or early January! Ha!

Yes! Amazing beer. And unfortunately one that I will probably never find again. Its blackberry, and tastes super blackberry-ish, but is not the least bit purple. It even lists the varieties of blackberries used, and claims they are grown on the brewery property. The base was a belgian golden strong.

They may be lumped together as a BJCP category, but they are not identical. And whether purchased as a commercial beer or brewed, will usually have a separate designation. The main difference is that Octoberfest is usually a little stronger. Märzen is "march" and was usually enjoyed as a less strong, younger counterpart.

Says the guy who semi-cheats by making a guess so broad it covers more than one style???
It's an APA, so I'll give it to you because...
a) ESB (aka English pale ale) was already said, which still technically leaves the rest of the beers in the category ALSO called English pale ale, but referring to them by the category name would be somewhat more of a stretch (though probably not completely beyond you
), which means thatb) if I asked you to clarify, you'd probably deduce APA just from the the fact I had to ask you. Of course, you MIGHT have meant APA specifically, but would it kill you to be clear about what you mean??
Anyways, your turn
Are you sure about that? I've had things labeled as "Marzen" that was stronger.
But seriously, now it's just nitpicking
They are the same BJCP style. The only difference is that the Marzen means it was brewed in March and lagered until harvest season (and also, wouldn't that mean that traditionally they would have made it stronger due to the long lagering time?)Says the guy who semi-cheats by making a guess so broad it covers more than one style???

Cool.... but I've always been under the impression (and it seems to be the norm on here) that "pale ale" is almost synonymous with "APA." I would never call a bitter or ESB a Pale Ale.... it's an ale that is pale, but...
I'll post a pic as soon as I get back from errands!

i went to errands once, beautiful this time of year.
So since today is the rivalry game between Nevada and that one school in vegas, this round will be Nevada themed! I promise the hints won't be esoteric.
This is a commercial beer brewed in Nevada but not in one of the three major cities (Reno, Carson and Vegas.) The style is intended to be malty but with a hefty hop character, especially flavor and aroma.
Also, go Wolf Pack!

cactus ale.
Ding ding ding! It's Angel Creek American Amber Ale... absolutely amazing brew and is an exact representation of the AAA style (at least IMHO)
Lulz, no. The brewery is in northeastern Nevada which, much like Reno or the encompassing Truckee Meadows, is quite green with forest cover (both coniferous and deciduous.)
Also:
Hail to our study team
Loyal and truuuue
March, march on down that field
For siiiilver and bluuuuue
We'll give a long cheer for Nevada's team
See them break through again
