Beer flavour intensity involves the following attributes
Body
Alcohol Content
matching beer with meat
Lamb:

matching beer with meat
Lamb: Spicy Ale
Steak: IPA
Pork: Brown Ale
Match the principle of beer and food pairing with an explanation
contrast
intensity
complement
Contrast → Pairing beer with foods of different (but compatible) flavours,
Intensity → Pairing beer with foods of like flavour impact,
Complement → Pairing beer with foods of similar flavour
Beer sweetness can be used to tone down the perception of — in food
salty notes
Dryness – provides a pleasant contrast to —foods
Contrast to oily foods
Carbonation –– palate
Carbonation – refreshes the palate, scrubs the tongue of fat
Alcohol – can be used to — and — trough foods with a rich texture
Alcohol – can be used to counterbalance and cut trough foods with a rich texture
Tasting Protocol (5s)
Tasting Protocol (5s): See, Swirl, Sniff, Sip, Swallow
Beer Tasting
Beer Competitions
Beer Evaluation
Beer Tasting – wide range of possible formats
Beer Competitions – Beers are judged
Beer Evaluation – Highly structured systems for evaluation
Preference tests are focused on
a choice of one item over another
Low detection threshold corresponds to – for the flavour
Low detection threshold corresponds to a high sensitivity for the flavour
Absolute threshold - the — capable of producing a sensation
Absolute threshold - the lowest stimulus capable of producing a sensation
Qualitative consumer tests are typically conducted with large group of over 100
consumers. T/F
false
Simple Ranking Preference Tests:
Simple Ranking Preference Tests:
give no measure of the degree of difference between the samples.
give no measure of the degree of liking of the samples
different types of threshold from highest to lowest
absolute
recognition
terminal
absolute = 3
recognition = 2
terminal = 1
* The absolute threshold (detection thresholds) - the lowest stimulus
capable of producing a sensation
* The recognition threshold - the level of stimulus at which the
specific stimulus can be identified
* The difference threshold - the extent of change in the stimulus
necessary to produce a noticeable difference (Just Noticeable
Difference – JND)
* The terminal threshold - that magnitude of stimulus above which
there is no increase in the perceived intensity for that stimulus
If there was only one choice of glass in which to
serve German lager the appropriate compromise
would be
Becher
Dimpled glass mug in the 1-liter size served at
Octoberfest
Mass
Shallow, wide rimmed glass resembling a
champagne bowl designed for highly carbonated
beer
berliner weisse glass
A universal lager glass which is associated with beer
halls and beer gardens serving draft beer
Krug
The shape of the glass can range from an elongated
tulip to a straight-sided vase
pilsner glass
Popular British pub thick-sided glass
pimpled mug
- Repeatability
- Repeatability – internal lab check method.
Repeated analysis of the same sample, by the same lab technician using the same equipment
r 95
- Reproducibility
- Reproducibility – between lab check method.
Repeated analysis of the same sample, by a different lab technician using different
equipment
The threshold is not
The threshold is not a fixed point,
