We touched on some styles in this unit (we'll get more in depth in later units) but try to identify the style based on the clues below:
16.) Renowned for its drinkability, enhanced hop bitterness and balancing malts. Yeast strains used in this style typically lend a bit of fruitiness while the hops used traditionally have an earthy or herbal character. ______________________________________
17.) Recognised for its distinct hop profile which consists of grapefruit, pine, citrus and spice character. Expect a good balance of malt and hops. _______________________________________
18.) This lager is pale in colour. It has a fabulously clean malt profile that is balanced out by spicy/floral noble hops with a lovely balancing bitterness. ________________________________________
19.) Soft water creates a suitable platform for presenting more spicy, herbal, floral hop character while a crisp bitter finish extends beyond a lovely malt profile. Clean, refreshing and bitter. ________________________________________
20.) This style of the India Pale Ale is most known for being hop-forward with assertive bitterness which generally present citrus, pine, floral and spice characteristics. It is medium-bodied with a moderate maltiness and a clean, dry and lingering bitter finish. ________________________________________
