- A good ale has a little fruitiness
- A good lager or Pilsner tastes clean and malty
- A good stout or porter gives you chocolate and coffee tastes
- A good wheat beer is tart and refreshing
Give it a once over
Feast your eyes on your beer – it won’t mind! How cloudy is it? How complex are the colours? How white is the head?
Twirl it
Swill the beer around the glass. Get it excited so the aromas are released.
Stick your nose in it
Smelling is believing. Mass produced beer smells of very little. Each beer from Beer Hawk has a wonderful whiff thanks to the quality ingredients – enjoy it!
Taste time!
Follow the wine tasters lead – let the beer cover your whole tongue so you enjoy the full range of flavours. Sweet tastes are more obvious at the front, happiness at the back, saltiness at the front and acidity at the back.
