How to taste beer like a pro

For a long time, beer has the impression of being a simple and easy-to-drink alcoholic beverage, without paying attention to the type and tasting knowledge of beer. But now it is different from the past. Since the start of the craft beer movement, the category and quality of beer have changed dramatically. Numerous new styles and new flavors have never been seen before. From the perspective of traditional classification, there are only a dozen categories. In fact, in addition to traditional classifications, there are also international standard classifications.Beer tasting refers to a method of evaluating the quality and flavor of beer through sensory perception, which is the same as tasting other alcohols.Generally speaking, taste from the aspects of color, fragrance and bubbles.

Colour:

When looking at the color, lift the wine glass slightly and tilt it parallel to your eyes to see the color of the wine body to see what color it is, whether it is transparent or hazy. Is there any suspended matter or sediment. Then describe its color and clarity. Beers are clear and turbid. For cloudy craft beer, it is normal to have precipitates in the wine. Most of them are nutrients. They are white or brown, depending on the type of beer. If the precipitate appears in the clear cooked beer, it is abnormal and may be deteriorated. Descriptive terms for turbidity are: pure, clear or turbid.

Bubble

The bubbles of beer is one of the important indicators to measure the quality of wine. For traditional beer and craft beer, the richer, smaller and denser the bubbles, the higher the quality of the wine. But it depends on the type of beer. If it is a beer with a very high alcohol concentration, there are often few bubbles, which does not mean that the wine quality is low. The reason is that high alcohol will affect the protein and carbohydrates in the wine, indirectly affecting the generation of bubbles. Descriptive words for bubbles are: low, medium and rich.

Fragrance

In the process of beer tasting, smelling refers to smelling beer. The aroma of beer is rich and diverse, mainly: hop aroma, malt aroma, fruity aroma and aged aroma, etc., hundreds of aromas are derived from these types of aromas.

Taste

During tasting, raise the glass to inhale the right amount of beer. The inhalation should cover the mouth to allow the liquid to fully contact the lips, gums, teeth and tongue and the surrounding taste buds. Traditionally, the bitter taste of hops is difficult for most primary consumers. Accept the taste. In fact, the bitterness brought by hops is the soul of beer, which together with other flavors creates the unique personality of beer. In addition to giving the beer a bitter taste and rich foam, hops also have the effects of quenching thirst and appetizing.
