Belgian

Certain Belgians are malt-balanced on the sweet side, while others remain malt-balanced but lack sweetness. Many also display fruit and/or spicy yeast character.

Brown Ale

Spawned from the English mild ale, brown ales tend to be maltier and sweeter on the palate, with a fuller body. Color can range from reddish brown to dark brown.

Pale Ale

A beer made by warm fermentation using predominately pale malt.

Sour Ale

Beers made by allowing wild yeast strains or bacteria into the brew. Before Pasteurization, almost all beer was sour in some way due to naturally occurring wild yeast strains.

Stout

A beer brewed with black unmalted barley, which imparts the dark colour and rich flavour characteristics.

Wheat Beer

A beer brewed with a large proportion of wheat malt.

Wood-Aged

A blend of base beer with characteristics from aging on or in contact with wood.
