I went to my LHBS yesterday intending to get the ingredients for an American Wheat. I tweaked my old recipe to include some flaked wheat, and the guy was out of flaked wheat, so I had to change my plans because I didn't feel like brewing another batch of the same Am Wheat recipe.
Anyways, I started looking through some issues of BYO he had on the shelf and came across what was labeled as a gold medal winning recipe for a Northern English Brown.
It sounded like a delicious recipe (far from American Wheat for sure) but I don't really see how this can be considered a Northern English Brown, it seems closer to a porter than anything, I think.
Like I said, I'm sure it will be delicious, but can you help me identify the style?? I'm assuming it must fall into some category, or else I don't know how it would win a gold medal?
