How to Taste Beer - Critically

How to taste beer - In this video Nate discusses some beginner ways to taste beer critically as a drinker or brewer.
This can be valuable when considering beers you wish to enjoy again but especially as a brewer or home brewer.
This can be a very involved topic, but for the purposes of this video we tried to keep things simple. From here, we can build upon the knowledge base an introduce more advanced topics.

    Great video, I just want to add about when you go to smell your beer, you need to give yourself 30 seconds to a minute for your nose to de-adaptate from the original smell. The first smell will always be the best information your brain will get. If you smell too quickly afterwards, your sense of smell will be adapted to that smell. Same for your sense of taste. if you are really trying to be critical, you need to take time between tastes! Other than that, absolutley great tips!

    I was happy to hear you note “bread” on the nose of that beer. I find that I always get a triscuit like smell from NZ pales, Kia Ora included. As always, great video, thanks for the insights. Also, that lamp is awesome.

    Beer changes massively. Line-cleaning is incredibly important. It's best to try it as closest-to-the-source or at-the-source as possible. Been drinking Tree House from 2015 thanks to Jay Omnobono and Mike Morse! Eight years ago. I'm in the uk. Some Belgian styles are going to be phenolic (clove) like Duvel.

    I've always had difficulty defining or identifying astringency in a beer. It is on rating cards and even after looking it up several times, I'm never really comfortable assigning a value to it. Sometimes there is some lingering feeling in the back end which I have begun to attribute to astringency, but I've never known if this is accurate. Having never sucked on a tea bag, I'm still not sure, but I'm happy to have this additional information to go by for my future tastings.

    Are there any beer styles that purposefully accentuate off flavors to make good tasting beer? Or is it a general rule that all off flavors should be avoided?

  • @treehousebrewco

    Great question! A lot of macro lagers purposely contain small amounts of acetaldehyde (green apple) and any beer with Ringwood yeast will be very diacetyl-forward (butter)

    Visited Doemens in Munich to learn how to taste Beer. As a brewer i wanted to learn how to taste the off flavors in our beer to improve brewing. But now i lost the ability to drink beer "normal". I always taste beer and i am very critical, even if i hang out with my friends. So what about you, can you just drink and enjoy beer "normal" or do you taste it and always be critical about it??
