Beer tasting techniques

Beer tasting involves examining its appearance, aroma, flavor, and mouthfeel. Start by observing the beer’s color and clarity in good lighting. Swirl gently to release its aroma, then take a gentle sniff to identify scents like hoppy, malty, fruity, or spicy notes. Take a small sip, allowing the beer to coat your palate, and notice its sweetness, bitterness, acidity, and carbonation. Pay attention to the texture and richness. Savor slowly to appreciate the complexity. Techniques like comparing different beers or using tasting notes can enhance your understanding and enjoyment.
