What it is
Any declared base style flavored with spices, herbs or vegetables, which the entrant must list so judges know what to look for. The additions should be identifiable and in proportion to the beer underneath; vitals come from the declared base rather than from this entry.
Flavor
No flavor wheels for this one. Its character comes from something the wheels do not measure: fruit, spice, wood, smoke, or a base style of the brewer’s choosing.
Style numbers, names and vital statistics are from the BJCP 2021 Beer Style Guidelines, where you will find the official descriptions. The descriptions and flavor wheels here are Beerwright’s own. Beerwright is not affiliated with or endorsed by the BJCP.
