Pale Ale
These beers
have a brilliant color range from golden straw yellow to pale brown and are
often brewed with pilsner malt. Most will be topped with thick, rocky white
heads. Flavors and aromas will vary. The blondes can be light, some spicy
and lightly floral. While the stronger pale ales tend to be fruity and some
even hoppy, but the hop flavors tend to be low and well balanced.

Ale
These beers
offer a broad spectrum of character and colors that vary from light earthy
brown to deep garnet. The browns tend to have aromas of flowers, malt and
spice that can be intoxicating. Usually not hoppy or bitter with flavors
that can be spicy and dry or sweet and malty. The strong dark ales are more
complex and have delicate mouthfeel. Most are fruity with slight malt
flavor, and almost always spicy with plenty of alcohol.

Lambic/Gueuze
Lambics are
wheat beers that are spontaneously fermented by exposure to wild yeast and
bacteria native to Belgium.
Fruit lambics
have whole fruits added after the spontaneous fermenation has started. Malt
and hop flavor are usually fairly low so the fruit flavor can take over.
Most are quite tart, but others can be surprisingly sugary sweet.
Gueuze
beers are a blend of a young and old Lambic which are then aged for two to
three years. This gives it a dryer, fruitier and more intense sour flavor.

Wit
These are
unfiltered beers that appear quite cloudy due to the use of wheat in the
mash. Most have a higher level of carbonation, that gives them a crisp
flavor. Witbier usually has spice added, traditionally orange peel and
coriander. Expect a light sweetness and a soft palate.
-To truly enjoy
the flavors and subtleties of the brew we suggest not adding fruit to the
beer.-

Amber/Brown Ale
These ales tend
to be malty and slightly sweet on the palate, with a full body. Color can
range from light copper to reddish brown to dark brown. Some versions will
lean towards fruity esters, while others tend to be drier with nutty
characters. All seem to have a low hop aroma and bitterness.
North American
ales are usually drier than their English counterparts, with a slight citrus
accent and a aroma, bitterness, and medium body due to American hop
varieties.

Scottish Ale
Scottish ales
traditionally go through a long boil in the kettle for a caramelization of
the wort. This produces a deep copper to brown in colored brew and a higher
level of unfermentable sugars which create a rich mouthfeel and malty
flavors and aromas. Occasionally herbs, spices, berries and other
ingredients might be used to create an interesting and pleasant aroma.

Stout
Stouts are very
dark, almost black beers, and feature a heavily roasted flavor profile. Most
stouts achieve this by brewing with malt that has been kilned until it
resembles burnt toast. These ales tend to have a dry character as well as a
huge roasted flavor that can range from burnt malt to coffee to chocolate.
Extra and Imperial stouts are more dense in body and with an opaque black
color, more intense flavors and a note of sweetness.

German Styles
Alt
Altbier
literally means old beer, referring to an old style of brewing. Alt brewers
use a an ale (top-fermenting) yeast in the beer and then the brewers store
(lager) the beer after fermentation for a long period of time. The extended
conditioning makes for an smooth and sometimes delicate brew. Colors range
from earthy yellow to amber to dark brown; with a good balance between malt
and hops.

Bock
Bocks (B)
are bottom fermented lagers that take extra months of lagering (cold
storage) to smooth out the strength. Bock beer is generally stronger than a
traditional lager. They tend to have a low hop bitterness, enough not to
overwhelm the malt flavor that tends to dominate this style of beer. Colors
range from light copper to amber brown.
Maibock (MB)
is a pale version of the Bock style. The flavor is typically less malty than
a traditional bock, and may be drier, but relatively low hop flavor, with a
mild spicy quality from the hops.
Dopplebocks
(DB)
are extra strong, rich and weighty lagers characterized by an intense malty
sweetness with a note of hop bitterness to balance the sweetness. Some
versions can have slight chocolate, roasted or dark fruit characters. Colors
can range from full amber to dark brown to almost black.
Eisbock (EB)
is the strongest type of Bock. They are made by freeze distilling a
Dopplebock and removing the ice in order to concentrate the body, flavor and
alcohol content. These beers have are rich and powerful, with a pronounced
malty sweetness and a spicy sometimes fruity flavor. The colors are usually
ranging from deep copper to a ruby-like dark brown.

Dunkel
Dunkels were
the original style of lager in Germany. They are known to be smooth, rich,
and slightly malty without being heavy. Generally the bitterness is low,
just enough to balance out any sweetness. Some have a dry chocolate or near
licorice flavor. Color is generally a garnet-like dark brown.

Literally
translating to .black beer., they are surprisingly light in body. Most have

and rounded flavor; with hop accents being low. Very refreshing for being so

color and taste.

Weizen
Weizens are
wheat beers that are brewed with a large proportion of wheat and are
top-fermented.
The flavors of
weizen varies considerably depending on the specific style.
Hefeweizen
Hefeweizen is a
traditional Bavarian style of unfiltered wheat beer that uses at least fifty
percent wheat in the mash. They are refreshing, highly carbonated beers that
are very good at quenching thirst. The appearance is cloudy, due to the
absence of filtering; with colors ranging from hazy yellow to golden orange.
Flavors are usually soft, well-rounded with some having a spicy and tart
edge.
- To truly enjoy the flavors and
subtleties of the brew we suggest not adding fruit to the beer.-
