Bitter Ale
A British-style dry ale, w/ a rich, copper color, a mellow balance of bittersweet hops for aroma a full, smooth flavor, often served on draught. Some breweries have two degrees of Bitter: the "ordinary" may be simply called "Bitter" the premium "Best Bitter".
Cream Ale

Dark Ale

Pale Ale
A fruity copper-colored style of ale w/ origins in England.
Wheat Beer
A blend of malted barley, water wheat, which produces a characteristically light delicately flavored summer beer.
Lagers
Pale Lager
Mainly all mass produced American beers. They all have the same basic taste strength. Light, airy, thirst quenching. Best at very cold temperatures.
Pilsner or Pilsener
Made w/ neutral hard water. Tend to be golden in color w/ a dry, crisp, somewhat bitter flavor. Pilsner stands out from other lagers due to its more distinctive hop taste.
Oktoberfest Marzen
Stronger than Pilsner, it has a darker color, often referred to as amber, is more malty chewy than Pilsner. The fall months are the best for this type of beer.
Bock
A strong beer in taste alcohol. These beers generally have a sweet maltiness to them thats very pleasing. They are brewed, both light (in colour, that is) dark varieties. You might also see them listed as "Heller-Bock" (Heller is German for light) "Dunkel-Bock" (Dunkel German for dark) .
Doppelbock
Stronger than Bock, this version has even more body, is more malty, is even more chewy than regular Bock. Its generally dark w/ more caramel chocolate malts.
Munich Dark/Pale
The Munich brewers traditionally produce dark lagers, w/ a spicy malt-coffeeish palate.
Lambic
Lambic
Although not so common anymore, a still, uncarbonated lambic can occasionally be found on draft in a café or in bottled form. These are usually young lambics (less than a year old) , perhaps only six months old. Several traditional breweries blenders offer aged lambics in bottles.
Faro
If several casks of young lambic are blended sweetened w/ dark candy sugar, they're called a faro. In the bottled version, a faro is pasteurized so theres no additional fermentation in the bottle.
Gueuze
The height of the blender's art is the production of gueuze, a blending of lambics from casks that are at least one three years old, often w/ a two-year-old added for good measure. This blending creates an additional fermentation in the corked bottle, as the yeasts alive in the aged lambic eat the sugars present in the young lambic. The result is a slightly higher alcohol beer (an average of 6 % alcohol by volume versus 5 % for other lambics) and, most important, carbonation.
Fruit Lambics
A specialty of lambic makers is fruit lambics. Typically, lambics of one "summer" in age are chosen, whole fruit is added into the casks. The fruit breaks down in the beer, adding flavor, aroma color, creating a secondary fermentation from its sugars. Additional flavors come from the wild yeasts bacteria on the skins of the fruit. Cherries raspberries are the fruits most traditionally used.
Porter
Porter
Porters are red-brown in colour, medium to medium-full bodied, characterized by a flavour profile that can vary from very subtle dark malts to fully roasted, smoky flavours. Roasted malt should provide the flavouring character, rather than roasted barley as is used w/ stouts. Stronger, darker versions lighter, more delicate versions are equally valid manifestations of the style. The influence of hops can often be notable in the richer craft-brewed examples of the style.
Flavoured Porter
Flavouring traditional beer styles is a particular feature of the ever-creative domestic craft-brewing scene. Flavorings used in porters are typically dark berry fruits coffee.
Dry Stout
Dry stout is closely associated w/ Ireland in general, Guinness in particular. These brews tend to be rich dark w/ a definitive bitter note, a drying palate feel.
Flavoured Stout
Flavoured stouts are stouts, be they sweeter or drier, that have been flavoured in some way.
Russian Imperial Stout
Imperial stout is an extra strong version of stout that was originally brewed by the British to withstand the rigors of export to Russia the Baltic states. This style is dense, opaque black strong in alcohol (6 to 7 %) , w/ a note of sweetness. Burnt cocoa dried fruit flavours are typical.
Oatmeal Stout
This brew is a variation of sweet stout that has a small proportion of oats used in place of roasted malt. This has the effect of enhancing body mouth-feel. They tend to be highly flavourful, w/ a velvety texture sometimes a hint of sweetness.
Sweet Stout
Sweet stouts, sometimes known as milk or cream stouts, have a distinctive sweetness to the palate often show chocolate caramel flavours. These beers obtain their characters from the chocolate malts lactic (milk) sugars used in the brewing process.
