Beer types and flavours

Beer styles are used to differentiate and categorize beers by various factors, including appearance, flavour, ingredients, production method, history, or origin. While there is no universally agreed-upon list of beer styles, different countries and organisations have different sets of criteria. Beer competitions, for example, have categories that include processes or ingredients not usually regarded as defining beer styles, such as cask ale or gluten-free beer.

Beer types can be broadly categorised into ale or lager, but these terms cover a wide variety of beer styles.

• Crisp beers are lighter, cleaner in flavour, and crisply refreshing. They range in colour from straw to amber, have low to medium ABVs, and are light to medium in body. Examples include Cream Ale, English Blond Ale, and American Blond Ale.
• Hop beers are characterised by generous additions of hops, which provide the most intense flavour contribution. These beers range from medium to full-bodied, yellow to brown in colour, and low to high ABVs. Notable styles include American Pale Ale, American India Pale Ale, and Imperial Pilsner.
• Malt beers have malt-driven flavours, with a degree of sweetness and deep malty notes of nuts, toffee, caramel, toast, and fruit. These beers range from copper to dark brown in colour, from light to full-bodied, and low to high ABVs. Notable styles include English Brown Ale, American Amber Ale, and American Barleywine.
• Roast beers incorporate highly roasted malt grains for coffee and cocoa flavours, rich mouthfeels, and very dark appearances. They can be medium-light to full-bodied, from deep copper to black in colour, and low to high ABVs. Notable styles include Dry Stout, American Stout, and Imperial Stout.
• Smoke beers are brews that incorporate malts smoked over various wood fires or aged in whisky oak barrels. The flavour profiles of these beers are typically milder, except for the often dramatic smoky flavours. Notable styles include Smoked Beer and Smoked Porter.
• Fruit and spice beers are characterised by bold fruit and spice flavours, with fruits and spices sometimes added to further accentuate these flavours. These beers may be sweet, semi-dry, or dry, but are never overtly bitter. ABVs range from low to high, body is low to high, and colour ranges from golden to dark brown. Notable styles include Witbier, Belgian Blond Ale, and Saison.
• Tart and funky beers are the sour brews that show rustic, earthy, and winey notes. Some are lighter and elegantly acidic, while others are darker, vinous, or exceedingly funky and sour. They can be light to medium-full-bodied, range in colour from straw to dark brown, and may be extremely low in alcohol or quite strong. Notable styles include Berliner Weissbier, Wild Ale, and Lambic.
