I am quickly learning that the best way to understand what you are tasting in a beer is to do it in groups of people. This way you can get everyones opinion and hopefully, with their help and vocabulary, you can better understand what you are tasting. If you do not have a group of people to taste with the next best thing is to take copious notes and write things out in as much detail as possible so you can learn key words that best describe the flavors. To this end I have created a Beer Review Card specific to Jolly Pumpkin but it can be used to review any beer.
The Review Card is a combination of the reviewing guidlines found on
BeerAdvocate.com with a Meilgaard flavor wheel attached to give you a visual representation of what you are tasting. I will be posting my reviews of all of the Jolly Pumpkin beers that I get to try.
So look for my reviews in the coming days, and if you follow JP on twitter or facebook then you know we have some big things coming out in the next few weeks!
