Okay, I am very new at this so have some patience as I explore the blogging world. I enjoy trying new brews and read about the latest and greatest through some very good beer related magazines. The problem that I have is the descriptions used to inform the reader what a particular beer tastes like. It seems that beer experts have fallen into the same trap as their wine loving brethern and use descriptive phrases that one can only imagine that a beer tastes like. My purpose is to provide the reader with a simple description that adequately describes the product without getting into 1500 tastes that some folks think a beer has. Poppycock I say, a beer has color, aroma, head, bitterness, sweetness, and a couple more descriptions. I do not see how a beer can go from sweet caramel to banana to peppery all in one taste. I guess my tastebuds are not that educated or perhaps most beer drinkers are like me and they just want something good to drink. With the high cost of beer, wouldn't it be great if someone could explain in simple terms what it tastes like and would they recommend it? I think so.
You all grab your favorite suds, sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride. It will be a long journey.
