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

It'll pick back up when reno stops slacking

Well, Reno has a half-hour left, but jeez, I confirmed he was right only *6 minutes* after he posted :/

Sorry guys, I was fixing my truck all day yesterday. It's really disorienting working upside-down inside the cabin trying to remove a clutch-pedal bracket.

Somebody else can go... I need time for the blood that has been pooling in my brain to drain off.

Well, let's get this rolling again. I am fresh out of photos of my own brew... That is until I crack open ones I bottled this last week. So a commercial example. I'll give a hint after I figure out which style this actually is...

 

[bottlebomber]

It looks IPA-ish

 

[mcbethenstein]

Nope.

 

[FromZwolle]

dortmunder?

 

[mcbethenstein]

dortmunder?

Really close, almost there

 

[jsguitar]

Altbier?

 

[BenS]

Helles.

 

[bottlebomber]

Dampfbier

 

[bottlebomber]

Btw I have those same glasses... Target?

 

[mcbethenstein]

Helles.

Bingo! HB original.

Probably target or else Wally world. I've had them a few years. Can't remember this late at night.

 

[BenS]

Crappy pic so I'll add a hint right now. It looks and is darker than typical commercial examples are of this style but still within range.

[BenS]

No one has gotten it and I forgot to add a hint. It's one of the few styles that strong esters are welcome and appreciated. Sorry folks, I'll stay on top of it.

 

[mcbethenstein]

Belgian dark strong ale

 

[emjay]

Dunkelweizen

 

[bottlebomber]

Dunklewickenweizen

 

[BenS]

None so far. This style has been modified by american brewers. The American version is more highly hopped (of course) and usually much lighter in color.

 

[Reno_eNVy]

Ipa?

 

[WestCoastHopper]

Belgian IPA?
