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

Someone is going to have to take the reins on this next one...I'm at the library studying for a big test...no beer for me tonight.

Sorry if this picture is kind of big

hints?

Nut brown ale

Dubbel

porter

Noble hops were used

Schwartzbier

Close

dopplebock

Still shooting around the bullseye... this beer is sometimes lagered, sometimes fermented with ale yeast

whoops! i was going to have this beer last night, but i forgot it in the freezer and it got explody. This beer is a little left of normal, so let's try to guess the base style and where i got the yeast from.

hints: the base grain/hop bill is traditional, the secondary yeast is not.

i should also mention that the color is from a fruit addition.

is having no head related to the style or did you get in trouble with swmbo?

google tells me yes.

belgian cherry cider

Fruit Lambic, Timmermans dregs

Belgian pumpkin ale.

ok pretty close. it's a fruit lambic, but the bugs are what make it different. they came from a non beery source, but still a fermented product.

You said the "yeast" for the secondary initially, but now you've got me thinking you harvested lactobacillus from saurkraut...

emjay's correct. it's not a yoghurt.

You kind of gave it away, they are not the same thing. They have different BJCP style designations and are different beers altogether. But at least now the thread is moving, here ya go
