The student will be provided with appropriate samples to identify sensory attributes and gauge the intensities of those attributes in beer. Topics of study will include sensory evaluation of raw materials, wort and green beer, aromas, finish, flavor/taste interactions, factors affecting product quality, descriptive analysis/model systems, sensory tests and sensory panels, as well as the overall importance of tasting/sensory evaluation.
