Help me find a beer!?

Question

Okay, so I need help finding a specific beer, or type of beer.

First off, let me tell you that I am NOT a beer drinker. Or rather, I'm not a bad beer drinker. I don't care for the sharp acidic taste or the, for lack of a better phrase, the piss-poor metallic smell of canned cheap beer. That being said...

I was at a Christmas party at Lamberts in Austin, TX. I had a great beer but can't remember what it was called.

I think it was a Real Ale, but I know it wasn't the Fireman's #4 Blonde Ale. That one was too, I don't know, light? It was fruity and acidic. The one I liked was deep amber in color and warm and yeasty in flavor. It wasn't dark like a bock though.

So I googled beer and got a crash course, only now I have ended up with more questions than answers... So I figure the only way forward is a very serious scientific study, I'm going to do a taste test. :-)

So give me your suggestions... Yes, I know I can call Lambert's and ask, but where's the fun in that??

Answer 1

Real Ale makes a couple of beers which I think have that edge and coloring you may be referring to.

Full Moon Rye Pale Ale, rye will give a beer a peppery spice character.

Roggenbier, it's a traditional German rye beer so again it will have that rye edge to it but it will also be rather yeasty because it is unfiltered.

Those would be my 2 guesses assuming it actually was a Real Ale beer.

Answer 2

try boulder beer Buffalo gold or Pete's strawberry blonde
