Hundreds of different flavour and aroma compounds have been identified in beer, which can be traced back to beer ingredients and brewing methods.
At this unique workshop, flavour chemistry specialist Sietze Wijma – who boasts an MSc in Sensory Science – will explain the origins of 10 important flavour compounds in beer and teach you to recognise them. You’ll also discover your personal sensitivity to various compounds.
The compounds that will be discussed include diacetyl, 4-VG and 3-MBT. (Not sure what these are? Don’t worry, you’ll learn all about them in the session!)
How will it work?
You’ll be given 11 samples of the same neutral base beer, then 10 samples have a single flavour compound added.
After you have tried all flavours, you’ll practice their identification through a blind tasting exercise. The session will then conclude with a blending activity.
This is the perfect event for any intermediate-level beer students or enthusiasts looking to take their tasting ability to the next level!
