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

Founders reds rye pa.

Founders is the correct brewery, but red rye (awesome as it is) is no Triple IPA. Think bigger!

 

[chocotaco]

Must be Devil Dancer. I got a taste of that the other day. Pretty tasty. Actually my buddy left the bottle on my desk and I haven't cleaned it up yet... been staring at it all day but for some reason I didn't guess it up front. Hah!

 

[JordanKnudson]

Haha that's a funny coincidence! It is Devil Dancer, yes. I had never had it before. Pretty darn good, although the booziness seemed to overwhelm the hops a little. What did you think?

 

[chocotaco]

I thought it was a little disappointing based on how much I liked KBS. But I wouldn't say no to another one. Agree about the booziness, also was a little light on aroma for my taste. But still a tasty beer, nit picking aside.

New. Beer!! New beer ☆

 

[bobbrews]

I was going to guess Devil Dancer, but it looked darker than I remembered. Maybe it's the lighting.

A sweet, sticky, highly hoppy sipper for sure with strong notes of alliums (onions & garlic).

 

[chocotaco]

I will post one later today. It's a little early for a beer right now...

I agree with you, it's not up to the standard of KBS. Still, like you said, I wouldn't say no to another one. Although at $6 per bottle/$20 per four-pack here in Chicago, I also won't be buying any more myself.

Maybe this most recent batch is darker than previous ones. The lighting in that picture wasn't great, but the beer actually was that dark! (I was surprised by how dark it was when I poured it, in fact).

Anyway, sorry for momentarily derailing the thread. Back to the game!

 

[chocotaco]

Here's the next one.

 

[Renegades_Brew]

hefewiesen?

 

[chocotaco]

Nope.

Hint: Contains a non-barley grain, but it's not wheat.

 

[DisturbdChemist]

Rye White IPA?

 

[tripplehazzard]

Cream ale

 

[chocotaco]

Rye White IPA?

It's not described as a white IPA, but otherwise you are close. Someone should name the exact beer before I'll be satisfied, because that is a pretty big hint.

 

[chocotaco]

Guys, this is a golden opportunity to name that rye IPA...

 

[tripplehazzard]

Smooth ryed

 

[JordanKnudson]

Smitten golden rye from bell's

 

[chocotaco]

Nobody has it yet.

Hint:

TV party rye ipa

 

[DisturbdChemist]

Red Chair by Deschutes

 

[chocotaco]

Nope.

Another hint: named for a New Zealand hop.

 

[JordanKnudson]

Nelson rye IPA

(Also, I appreciate the picture hint for this! )

 

[chocotaco]

Nelson rye IPA

(Also, I appreciate the picture hint for this! )

Close enough. I was hoping for the brewery to be named but I'm starting to think that this brewery is less widely known than I thought!

Alpine Brewing Nelson IPA

 

[MarshmallowBlue]

Dang I thought it was Illinois, cause springfield and all that.

 

[JordanKnudson]

Cool. I have heard mention of this brewery, actually, but I've never seen their beers around here.

Anyway, here's the next one. I want style and two adjuncts. First hint: this one can be cellared.

EDIT: Crap, uploaded this from my phone, sorry for the sideways picture...

Bourbon barrel barelywine with dates

This is getting pretty close. I will tell you that oak (maybe not specifically a bourbon barrel, but whatever) is one of the two adjuncts. I will also not be a jerk and force a distinction between barleywine and old ale, which is what this beer is marketed as. For a really interesting and detailed take on these two difficult-to-distinguish styles, by the way, you might like to read this article.

Anyway, all that leads us this far: this is an oak-aged old ale.

We're still missing one adjunct!

EDIT: I know it was a simple typo, but I LOVE that you called this a "barelywine"
