Title: What have we tasted so far?
Post by: Will_D on January 19, 2014, 09:48:56 PM
Am just trying to update my style cards with the names of commercial beers.

This is not needed for the online or the tasting exam (afik!) but is required for the written exam.

Can someone tell me which of these we tasted as my notes don't have the actual names:

13 F. Russian Imperial Stout   ???
14 B. American IPA   ???
14 C. Imperial IPA   ???
5 A. Maibock/Helles Bock   ???

There were obviously some we couldn't taste - these will just be picked from the style guides and highlighted as such

14 B. American IPA  - Liberty Ale

14 C. Imperial IPA - Halcyon Imperial IPA 7.4%

5 A. Maibock/Helles Bock - I dont appear to have this one maybe i missed this session!

Is this of any help?  :)

Good work Will! And on the flash cards too!

Note that some of the beers we tasted are not on the BJCP's list so may be best left off the flash cards... Like Halcyon and the Maibock below.
