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

Czech pilsner

English pale, has that been guessed yet?

English IPA

Hop on over to the mainland... The county of origin is NOT an island.

Trippel

A few of you have been in the right country so far... Won't say who just yet though.

Bohemian Pils

Biere de garde

Quad

Maibock

So very close.

Oh well now I know the style, but I already used my guess earlier today.

In fact if it is a commercial beer, I might even know which beer it is...

Go again. I give you permission.

Bier de Mars.

I am going to guess it's the New Belgium one.

Nope. So close again.

The rules say that you get another guess with every hint.

Booyah! It's MKE brewing co's Booyah (Belgian farmhouse ale with "saison" yeast.) Really tasty American produced example without the pretentious Belgian cork.

I like the pretentious Belgian cork...

Your mom likes the pretentious cork..,

Sorry I've been drinking at the founders tap room since 5...

I just got some of their Dirty Bastard Scotch Ale in a trade!

It's a crummy picture, but this is a picture of the secondary right after racking:



Here's your hint: I don't dry hop using bags.

It's a clone recipe of a beer that is listed in the BJCP guide as a commercial example of the style. Bonus points if you can guess what I was trying to clone in addition to the style.

American IPA

Bells 2 hearted clone

Arrogant bastard clone.

Pliny the elder clone

Also:

Lol. No, I guess I'll also add that it does fall under a standard BJCP category.

Saison is certainly a standard BJCP category...

He was stating the the beer in question falls under a standard BJCP category. The guess was Beet something or other, which did not fall under a standard category.

Bingo. Which makes it an Imperial IPA. For a 5 gallon batch it used 17 oz. of hops and something like 2-3 oz. for dry hopping alone.

Ah, I misinterpreted that post. I thought it was something that was slightly outside the style guidelines.




OK well apparently I need to come up with a photo of some beer, here...give me a bit.

I'm certain it's not a "bit"

You'd certainly be wrong. Or right. If there were a lot of 8 PDC bits, you wouldn't have a PDC byte.

Would 4 PDC bits make a nibble, then?

Ok here we go. This beer is not in my profile, and is not the beer described on the trophy, either.
If I were to enter this in competition (and actually I think I did just recently) it would go into category 21A. The base style fits snugly within the guidelines.

Baltic Porter

Black IPA

Coffee Stout
