Now you can use this handy reference to determine the answer according to the Beer Judge Certification Program. One touch search of the BJCP style guidelines provided if you enable the app in the Android searchable items menu.

Use BJCPDroid to study for the Beer Judge Certification Program exam or as an aide during competitions. Not a BJCP member? BJCPDroid makes an excellent companion for debating how closely that expensive bottle of brew you purchased at the pub adheres to the styles that define the world's classic examples. Impress your friends with your depth of knowledge in beer history and adjectives describing flavor/aroma characteristics.

Homebrewers, use the BJCP Beer Style Reference to evaluate your own brews and strive to match some classic examples.

Ratings and reviews

Be aware that to see the current styles you need to switch to the 2015 guidelines in the menu. The app displays out of date guidelines as default. Search function only searches within the selected guidelines so many styles appear missing unless you happen to notice the poor UX choice and switch. Could be solved with a message to choose preference when first opening app, or making the option to swap easier to find. As-is it's hard to notice even if you have the menu open. Perhaps it could go above the large ad on the main screen?

The app seems not to have the 2021 guidelines available. Is there any plan to add them? Most/all competitions are using 2021.
