Cheers to Better Beers! Juno Choi & Mark Opdahl Chop Liver Craft Beer Festivals TASTING BEER Tasting beer can be very rewarding. As you encounter new styles or brands it helps to know what to look for in a new beer as well as how to evaluate it. Take your time and work through the aspects of each beer, one by one. appearance: How does it look? Examine the appearance of the beer itself. Hold the glass up to the light and examine the color, clarity, and head. Is it clear or cloudy? Note whether the head is dense or thin. The color of the head is also worth noting and can range from pure white on Pilsners to light or medium brown on some stouts and porters. aroma: Take your time with the aroma. Bring it to your nose and inhale. Try to take several good sniffs before you take your first sip. If you’re taking notes, stop to write your impressions before the first sip distracts you. What does it smell like? Does it smell primarily of hops, malt, yeast, or something else? first sip: Note the initial sensation as the beer enters your mouth. Think about whether it is sweet, bitter, fruity, sour or something else. There can be quite a bit of difference between the first taste and the finish. mouthfeel: This is the texture of the beer or how it physically feels in your mouth. Beer ranges from silky, dry stouts, to thick and chewy. Try to note the body, carbonation, warmth, creaminess, and astringency. finish: Note the lingering flavors after you swallow the drink. Often it can be bitter from the hops or it can have a lingering malty sweetness. Stop before your next drink and try to write down everything you just detected. Try to confirm it with your second drink or see if you need to rethink your conclusions. styles: There is a lot of variation from one beer to the next with regards to style. Some beers are brewed with style in mind and others are not. Styles can be used as a learning tool to look at historical brewing norms and to help understand where certain characteristics of beer come from. The Beer Judge Certification Program Style Guidelines and the Brewers Association Beer Style Guidelines are two great sources of information to learn more about beer styles. 53 32 612 Brew Big Wood
