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

It looks just like an IIPA I just took down... IIPA

The color is actually paler than the picture makes it seem, but the hue seems spot on. It may not be the best picture ever taken, but try to look REAL closely at the color, and you may notice it's not quite like what you thought at first glance.

Since Zwolle is such a whiner.

BTW... it seems about only half of you are any good at perceiving color. Or at least, the particular color of the beer.

I'll give a hint shortly... maybe an hour and a half or so.

 

[FromZwolle]

Since Zwolle is such a winner.

you're so kind. perhaps a kriek.

That last pic looks like maybe a cherry wheat. Raspberries usually darker.

It looks to be about 16-17 SRM with a "garnet" hue, but that still doesn't help me know what it is. I've only been brewing about 2 years so I haven't been exposed to a lot of styles that aren't commonly available commercially. It looks delicious though. PM me the recipe, oh yeah and the name

Okay, to reveal the word from that last hint:

Some guy asked me for this beer by calling it "that ******* beer".

******* = Jamaica

Okay... the color comes pretty much entirely from a special ingredient, which I'm looking for in the answer.

By special ingredient, I mean that it is not a type of grain or hop (though this IS a beer.) And I promise it's not *completely* obscure as the name of this "style" (with the special ingredient in the name) is something I've actually seen mentioned a fair number of times on HBT, though sometimes with a specific second special ingredient in the name as well.

Everyone may guess again.
