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

lambic

I thought about that, but it just doesn't look right, and the first clue would technically be wrong.

 

[emjay]

Sahti

It is the only thing I could think of that even comes close to the clue, because in some sense, you could say yeast is absent from the ingredients that you add.

True... that's why it crossed my mind as well. But the clue didn't restrict it to things you add, and it's definitely not absent from the beer, so I dunno. Wouldn't be the first time a bad clue's been given

 

[mcbethenstein]

Gluten Free Beer? (Barley or wheat being what is missing)....I was gonna guess sahti too, but emjay beat me to it.

 

[FromZwolle]

no to all. the last guess is on the right track.

 

[emjay]

Chicha

 

[LVBen]

Rye ale

 

[FromZwolle]

Chicha

not that extreme.

 

[FromZwolle]

Rye ale

nope.

 

[barrooze]

Berliner weiss?

 

[bottlebomber]

Oh geeze... graff? Its not ale, but its all I've got.

 

[barrooze]

Ginger beer?

 

[LVBen]

Well, I think no hops, no yeast, and no barley have all been covered so.... the only thing we haven't considered being absent is water, so my next guess is...

a bowl of hops, dry yeast, and barley. YUMM!!!

Or even better... a bowl of hops, liquid yeast, and barley!

 

[TomOliver]

Ginger beer?

Caramel Macchiato Stout.

That hurts to read.

 

[TomOliver]

And knowing FZ,

It's probably urine.

That's my official guess.

 

[bottlebomber]

It's probably urine.

American Lager

 

[FromZwolle]

i'll just borrow this for my next clue: it's a german ale, so it conforms to the reinhienybutt (spelling?) law.

this beer has three distinct points that makes the style that it is:

the ingredient that's left out that, if used would make it another style,
the yeast,
and the temp.

 

[emjay]

Kristallweizen

 

[FromZwolle]

Kristallweizen

so very close, but no.

 

[mcbethenstein]

Kolsch

 

[Gridlocked]

Berliner Weisse

 

[FromZwolle]

Berliner weiss?

Berliner Weisse

no. again.

 

[bottlebomber]

Buckwheat pale

 

[FromZwolle]

Buckwheat pale

german ale.

 

[bottlebomber]

Oops missed that last clue.

Steam beer!

 

[FromZwolle]

Oops missed that last clue.

Steam beer!

still no.

 

[mcbethenstein]

I still think it's a kolsch.
