BudMilOors Challenge pt. 2

5/29/2013

As the name suggests, this is part 2 of the BudMilOors taste challenge. In this episode Jason and I test each other's palates as we do side-by-side tasting and a blind tasting.

*Note: there is no video for this episode (because I didn't remember to push record) so don't go looking for any video that we mention in the podcast. If you want video, I suggest watching the first episode on mute while listening to part 2. Cheers!

BudMilOors Challenge pt. 1

A while back, a friend of mine challenged me to do a taste test and beer pairing for the BIG 3 lights/lites. I resisted for a long time, mostly because I didn't want to spend time drinking beer I don't enjoy. Once pints&pairings started it started to seem a little more interesting and reasonable.

So, what you have here is part 1 of two bonus episodes. In this episode Jason and I taste the BIG 3 lights/lites and try to commit their flavors to memory so we can identify them in a blind taste.

1A. Lite American Lager

Examples: Bud Light, Miller Light, Sam Adams Light
Serving Temp: 35°- 40°
Glassware: Pilsner

Evaluation Notes: Keystone Light
Aroma: Grainy, husky with just a hint malt; cweet corn aroma covers up any hops that are present.
Appearance: Pale golden and crystal clear. Short lived white head with tight small to medium bubbles.
Flavor: Crisp and dry with slight cornlike sweetness. Little hop flavor, bitterness and aftertaste. Even balanced and no faults for the style.
Mouthfeel: Refreshing carbonation, very much like carbonated water with a slight carbonic bite and light body.
Food Pairings: They are good for washing the savory flavors off the palate.
