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

Is the subtle clue you misspelling first as "firth"? As in Harpoons firth of fourth?

In that case I'm going to guess scottish ale (i know that's too general but I dont think the commercial beer is labeled any more detailed than that)

The ABV makes is a more specific category, but yes, the bottle does read scottish ale so you'll be winning with that. Its Moylans Kilt Lifter

Awww snap dude. My favorite beer (also, my first real beer that I obsessed over)

I have to duck out of the house real quick but I'll be back to post a photo. Don't you fret, now.

Have you ever tried to clone it or know of a clone recipe? Id love to try and nail this. (Obligatory that's what she said) its definitely one of my favs. The brewery is just about an hour down the 101, I keep meaning to make it down there. They make some other amazing looking beers that I've never seen in stores

 

[Reno_eNVy]

Ya know I'm not aware of any clones... there's a recipe in the HBT database called "Kilt Lifter" but it wasn't intended to be a clone.

You're really close, though. I'd recommend calling them or even stopping by to talk to the brewers. They could probably lead you in the right direction.

Here's my photo. Haze is due to frosty glass.

Hint: This style is often difficult to differentiate from a couple other styles.

Nope nope

 

[bottlebomber]

Kolsch

 

[Reno_eNVy]

Nyet

 

[heferly]

Blonde

 

[emjay]

Cream ale

 

[Reno_eNVy]

No to both of those.

Time for a new hint... and to be honest it's really hard to think of one that won't really give it away

How about this: A dry yeast user is more likely to use S-04. This style is probably going to be hopped with Fuggles/Goldings and a small amount of adjuncts in the mash for body/head-retention is not uncommon.

 

[emjay]

Since you actually left no distinguishing clues, I'm going to do the exact same thing you did with YOUR guess the previous round, and say...

Bitter.

 

[Reno_eNVy]

Bingo. Actually, your guess it less general than my previous one It's an Ordinary Bitter so you can really get away with just calling it a bitter.

I couldn't leave too many distinguishing clues without it being extra-obvious (though, even being vague it was kind of obvious.) My other options were in the realm of "it's a session", "it's the lowest OG of it's category", "real ale", etc

 

[emjay]

Bah... somebody else can go.

 

[bottlebomber]

Alright ladies I'm looking for a BJCP category

 

[Reno_eNVy]

Bioluminescent Ale?

Neither of those..

The underlying style of this beer is 8% abv

 

[barrooze]

15A in the 2008 guidelines.

 

[barrooze]

Oops. Didn't see the last clue. 16D?

 

[barrooze]

Or 18C or D. should I just guess them all???

 

[bottlebomber]

18D will peg the underlying style. However for the win you'll have to guess what this would be entered under

Im having a hard time making this one fun...

There are no specific style guidelines save one.

 

[commonsenseman]

Quadrupel?

Edit: (Crap, that's 18E.....)

 

[barrooze]

I guess I'm confused. 18D is a Belgian Golden Strong. Duvel is the beer the style us fashioned after. What do you define as "underlying style" vs "style"? Sorry, I'm new RO this game, but I like it!!

This is pretty much giving it away, or at least vastly narrowing it down, but in the spirit of keeping the game moving I would add that some of the categories on the BJCP style guidelines are basically wide open, but when entering one of these beers an "underlying style", must be indicated.
