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

Petite Saison De' ete

*not* a farmhouse ale!

I want to say 16c or 16d but I think I'm wrong because of your last comment.
It's a little early! Let me have another cup-o-Joe!

He told us its not among the BJCP categories...

Steam beer

 

[emjay]

Okay. Um... remember how I said I was being ambiguous about something?

If you increase the ABV to the point where it then has a BJCP designation, there is actually MORE THAN ONE possible BJCP designation.

 

[bottlebomber]

Does it contain wheat or rye?

 

[emjay]

Simple sugars

 

[bottlebomber]

A low gravity belgian ale that doesn't appear on the BJCP... im somewhat new to the Belgian styles... im gonna be pretty much shooting in the dark. It isn't an Ambrée is it?

 

[mcbethenstein]

Light ale? with the possible higher ABV versions being in the IPA category OR the English Pale Ale (bitter) category. (wikipedia)

 

[emjay]

Nope.

Okay. These beers are traditionally made by the same people as the higher ABV versions.

The higher ABV versions have a lot of commercial success though, whereas there are no (authentic) commercial examples of the mystery style. It's still brewed, it's just not really for sale.

 

[LVBen]

Bottlebomber pretty much already guessed this, but he just wasn't as specific, so I'm going to say: Patersbier.

Thaaat's it

 

[LVBen]

I probably won't have anything worthy of posting for at least a week or two, so somebody else go ahead and post.

 

[bottlebomber]

Patersbier.

Huh... I probably would have never guessed that, because for some reason I was under the impression Patersbier was a light colored beer, like a lager but brewed with belgian yeast, never having seen one.

 

[bottlebomber]

Ill take it.

 

[FromZwolle]

nut brown.

 

[bottlebomber]

Kinda looks like one doesn't it... the beer is probably lighter than it looks in the pics, I tried showing that with the close up

i caught that, but i've had nut brown on the brain for a while. i need to brew one up.

 

[Reno_eNVy]

Oktoberfest?

 

[shanecb]

That looks delicious. Dunkelweiss?

 

[PagodaBrewingCo]

Is it a Dubbel?

 

[LVBen]

It is a tricky one, because patersbier isn't really a style. Instead it is a name applied to a large variety of session beers that are brewed specifically for Trappist monks, so it can be pretty much any color. Technically, his beer isn't really a 'patersbier', unless he is a Trappist monk or he serves it to Trappist monks, but the name patersbier can be given to just about any low-abv Belgian-style beer.

A couple weeks ago, I posted a Belgian Single (low-abv tripel), and I would've accepted Single, Enkel, or Patersbier as a correct answer.

 

[bottlebomber]

None yet... ill give a clue in an hour if no ones gotten it

[PagodaBrewingCo]

Scotch Ale?

 

[bottlebomber]

You're all on the right track. This beer style originates in the British Isles

Scotch Ale?

This is an entire category of beer styles, not a specific style. It would be like guessing Belgian Ale
