Typical characteristics of beer

How to describe the typical characteristics of beer simply and quickly?

∮ View color

The color of beer is divided into light color, strong color and black, and each color is divided into shades; the color of light beer mainly depends on the raw material malt and brewing process; the color of strong beer comes from ordinary malt and some special coloring. Malt or caramel color; dark beers are primarily colored by caramel malt, rye malt or caramel.

Good beer color, no matter the depth, should have a certain gloss. The color without a certain gloss is mainly caused by poor raw materials or improper process operation. As for the eye-catching gloss, in addition to the factors of the color itself, it also depends on the transparency of the beer. If the beer appears turbid, its color characteristics Also greatly discounted.

∮ Foam

The foam of beer is a characteristic substance of beer, which can bring pleasant visual effects to consumers and is also an important indicator reflecting product quality.

∮ CO2 content

Beer contains saturated dissolved CO2. These CO2 are generally produced naturally during the fermentation process, or come from carbonation in the later stage. It is conducive to the foaming of beer. After drinking, it gives people a comfortable stimulation and refreshing taste, that is, the so-called killing mouth. If there is a lack of CO2 in the beer, the beer will appear to have poor foam, and the taste will be bland and tasteless.

∮ Drinking temperature

The drinking temperature of beer is very particular. If you drink it at a suitable temperature, many components in the beer can coordinate and balance each other, giving people a comfortable feeling. Beer is suitable for drinking at lower temperature, about 10~12℃ is more suitable.

Pale beers are suitable for drinking at lower temperatures, while dark beers and dark beers are suitable for drinking at higher temperatures. Too high drinking temperature will easily cause the rapid loss of CO2 in the wine, affecting the killing power, and the taste will appear bitter and bland, and some shortcomings are easily exposed; of course, too low drinking temperature is also inappropriate, and it is easy to make people feel The senses are malfunctioning and less acute, and some volatile aroma components are not easily revealed.
