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

16e

 

[bottlebomber]

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

 

[bottlebomber]

16e

Not that one

 

[LVBen]

wood-aged beer

 

[barrooze]

Now it sounds like a high abv lambic or witbier.

 

[mcbethenstein]

Honey Belgian golden strong...

Honey Belgian golden strong...

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.

 

[bottlebomber]

Oh, 21A.

Man, so close

 

[LVBen]

Man, so close

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!

 

[emjay]

20a

 

[bottlebomber]

20a

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.

 

[bottlebomber]

Alright dude step up and take your prize

 

[emjay]

Oh, true!

I'll put one up soon.

 

[emjay]

Oh, true!

I'll put one up soon.

Gah!!! Sorry, I didn't even get a chance to have a beer today.

I'll try to post one up early tomorrow afternoon, but if somebody wants to post one before I do, go ahead.

 

[emjay]

A bit bigger and darker than the style normally is.

marzen

Octoberfest

 

[Reno_eNVy]

Lulz last two are basically the same.

Pale ale

 

[bottlebomber]

Lulz last two are basically the same.

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.

Pale ale

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 that

b) 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?)

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!

 

[bottlebomber]

American Amber

 

[FromZwolle]

cactus ale.

 

[Reno_eNVy]

American Amber

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)

cactus ale.

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
Fighting for our own U of N
To viiiiiictooooryyyyy!

N-E-V-A-D-A.... NEVADA!!!


Oh don't mind me.... I've already started pregaming for the rivalry today!!
