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

[ckcanady]

Helles Schlenkerle Lager

 

[Qhrumphf]

I'm starting to think you're pulling a fast one on us. I give up. Heh.

 

[andycr]

Berliner Weisse

EDIT: D'oh, someone already guessed that.

 

[russki]

Berliner Weiss is close (Capital City). Add Bamberg.

 

[Qhrumphf]

Lichtenhainer?

 

[russki]

Lichtenhainer?

Ding-ding-ding! Jackpot! Described as a "smoked berliner weisse", it's a nearly forgotten style. A very tasty one. The one in the photo is Freigeist Abraxxxas.

Gah. I've heard about but not tried many of the obscure historical styles from that region. Never even heard of that one.

I'm running out of pictures. Hah.

 

[ckcanady]

Love Rauchbier but never heard of that either.

Bier de guarde

 

[thood6]

Brown ale

 

[TNGabe]

Very obvious hint...

Obvious???

 

[Qhrumphf]

No to all. And don't worry, this one's not going to be nearly that hard.

 

[russki]

Obvious???

Yep, it was obvious - Capital City = Berlin(er weisse) ; Bamberg = Rauch/Smoked.

As for the one up now - ESB?

 

[Qhrumphf]

Nope!

 

[Chamuco]

Amber

 

[Qhrumphf]

Negative.

Hints: Again, it's not listed in my signature, so don't try. And don't try to read the gravity on the hydrometer, cause you're gonna be misled.

 

[thood6]

Barleywine

 

[sgraham602]

English pale ale

 

[ckcanady]

Vienna lager

 

[Qhrumphf]

Nope!

 

[thatjonguy]

[thatjonguy]

California common?

 

[TNGabe]

[Qhrumphf]

Ordinary Bitter. You're up!

 

[TNGabe]

 

[mike_in_ak]

Shut your mouth!

Whoops: Need to add a probably.

 

[Aschecte]

Vienna lager

[russki]

Kristalweizen

 

[TCGoose]

Czech pilsner

 

[Qhrumphf]

Braggot?

 

[TNGabe]

It's a one of a kind and probably a bad choice on my part. Nothing close so far.

American Light Lager?

 

[TNGabe]

American Light Lager?

How I loathe April Fool's Day!

Better clue: It's an anomalous example of a regional style, divided into two varieties by color, of which this is neither.

 

[sgraham602]

Mild?
