The plan that we
recommend you this week is to enjoy a beer tasting. Surely you know the
difference between blonde or dark beers, but would you be able to tell a scout
from a porter or from a brune?, and one blonde from a pilsner or from a lager?.
In a tasting the
appearance of the beer is analyzed, which mainly consists of its head, body,
color and temperature.
Also its aroma. We
know that the main ingredients of beers are barley, water, hops and yeast,
therefore the aroma depends on those ingredients and their characteristics. For
example, depending on the type of malt we can recognize, among other smells,
cake, chocolate, honey or even coffee. Hops brings fruit and herbaceous aromas,
but it can also provide wood aromas. Sulfur or spicy smells are provided by the
yeast.
The taste and
mouthfeel are the next steps in a tasting. Here we can identify additional aromas
and of course the sweetness and bitterness that barley and hops provide.
We encourage you
to go to a beer tasting and to let yourself be surprised by the feelings that
this experience will provide you!
