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

[bottlebomber]

Czech pilsner

 

[jfrank85]

English pale, has that been guessed yet?

 

[barrooze]

English IPA

 

[mcbethenstein]

Hop on over to the mainland... The county of origin is NOT an island.

 

[Aschecte]

Trippel

 

[mcbethenstein]

A few of you have been in the right country so far... Won't say who just yet though.

 

[Reno_eNVy]

Bohemian Pils

 

[Lazarous]

Biere de garde

 

[jfrank85]

Quad

 

[bottlebomber]

Maibock

 

[mcbethenstein]

Biere de garde

So very close.

 

[weirdboy]

Oh well now I know the style, but I already used my guess earlier today.

In fact if it is a commercial beer, I might even know which beer it is...

 

[mcbethenstein]

Go again. I give you permission.

 

[weirdboy]

Bier de Mars.

I am going to guess it's the New Belgium one.

 

[mcbethenstein]

Nope. So close again.

 

[H-ost]

Oh well now I know the style, but I already used my guess earlier today.

In fact if it is a commercial beer, I might even know which beer it is...

The rules say that you get another guess with every hint.

 

[NickWhitelonis]

Saison

 

[barrooze]

Beire de Noel

 

[mcbethenstein]

Saison

Booyah! It's MKE brewing co's Booyah (Belgian farmhouse ale with "saison" yeast.) Really tasty American produced example without the pretentious Belgian cork.

 

[bottlebomber]

I like the pretentious Belgian cork...

 

[two_hearted]

Your mom likes the pretentious cork..,

Sorry I've been drinking at the founders tap room since 5...

 

[H-ost]

I just got some of their Dirty Bastard Scotch Ale in a trade!

 

[NickWhitelonis]

It's a crummy picture, but this is a picture of the secondary right after racking:



Here's your hint: I don't dry hop using bags.

It's a clone recipe of a beer that is listed in the BJCP guide as a commercial example of the style. Bonus points if you can guess what I was trying to clone in addition to the style.

 

[barrooze]

American IPA

 

[bottlebomber]

Bells 2 hearted clone

 

[jfrank85]

Arrogant bastard clone.

 

[weirdboy]

Pliny the elder clone

 

[weirdboy]

Also:

Lol. No, I guess I'll also add that it does fall under a standard BJCP category.

Saison is certainly a standard BJCP category...

 

[barrooze]

He was stating the the beer in question falls under a standard BJCP category. The guess was Beet something or other, which did not fall under a standard category.

 

[NickWhitelonis]

Pliny the elder clone

Bingo. Which makes it an Imperial IPA. For a 5 gallon batch it used 17 oz. of hops and something like 2-3 oz. for dry hopping alone.
