- It's an ale.
- The SRM (color) is between 7 and 9. The colors in the chart above look brighter than the beer but let's attribute it to the pub like lighting in the Drunken Clam.
- The head is poor.
Assumptions:
- It's an year round beer, and not one of the seasonal kind because they drink it all the time (eliminates Pumpkin ales and such)
- It's a low ABV beer, because they drink it all the time (eliminates English Barleywines and such)
- It's a good example of the style, so if there's no head on Peter's beer, it's because the style itself has little head.
- It's not a Belgian/inspired beer (poor head, glassware used), or a one-off (rules out barrel aging and such), related to 1. and 2.
After this, it's just a matter of going through the BJCP style guidelines, and the beer above is an English Bitter.
