HOW TO TASTE BEER
LOOK: Raise the beer in front of you and marvel at its greatness before you drink.
Note the beer’s color, head and consistency. SMELL: Sniff the beer - note its aroma and bouquet.

Try a sample and note the beer’s unique flavor.
TIPS AND TRICKS

• Rinse your glass between samples. Water and rinse buckets will be at each table.
• Take notes and grade the beers so you can remember which beers you like and dislike.

beer fact: “There can’t be good living where there is not good drinking,”
-Benjamin Franklin
ALE BEERS showed up in England and the Netherlands around the 15th century. They have a sweet, full
bodied and sometimes fruity taste. Ales are brewed from malted barley using a top-fermenting brewers’ yeast and
are typically fermented at temperatures between 60 and 75°F.
varieties of ales:
Brown Ale
Beer with a dark amber or brown color with subtle caramel and chocolate flavors.
Scotch Ales
A strong dark malty ale with toffee notes.
India Pale Ales (IPA) Amber to copper in color with hoppy, bitter and sometimes malty flavor.
Porter
A dark brown beer with a toasty chocolate flavor.
Stout
Dark, almost black, beer which range from dry to sweet with a toffee espresso profile.
Pale Ale
A classic ale that is light in color, fruity and usually bitter with a hint of malt.
LAGER BEERS are a family of beers originating from central Europe that are smooth tasting, with less
aggressive character, and little to no fruity flavor. Lagers are brewed using bottom-fermenting yeast at lower
temperatures and for longer durations than those typically used to brew ales.
varieties of lagers:
Pilsner
Schwarzbier
Bock
Dunkel
Aromatic, pale lager with a prominent hop character.
Dark, almost black, Lager that usually has a full chocolate or coffee flavor.
This Beer can be dark, amber, or pale in color. Usually sweet, strong, and refreshing.
Dark ruby brown German lager with a smooth malty flavor.
WHEAT BEERS are brewed with a large portion of wheat and typically a significant amount of malted
barley, which produces a fresh taste.
varieties of wheat:
Weissbeir
Witbier
American Wheat
Wheat beer in its traditional unfiltered form. Usually has sediment with a citrus, nutmeg,
and clove characteristics.
A barley/wheat, top-fermented beer brewed mainly in Belgium.
The taste is only slightly hoppish and is very refreshing in summer.
Invented by specialty brewers in the United States within the last 25-30 years.
These beers display the creativity and diversity of America’s craft brewers.
Usually golden to light amber in color with subdued malt character but more assertive
hop character than their European counterparts.

beer fact: The type of water in a beer can strongly affect its taste. Superior ales
are produced with ‘hard water’ (containing a higher content of natural salts such as
calcium) while ‘soft water’ produces superior lagers. However, with the advent of water
treatment, some Caribbean breweries even use desalinated seawater in their beers.

CARLSBERG // Copenhagen, Denmark
www.abita.com // Location: 14
www.carlsberg.com // Location: 11
o Purple Haze (Fruit Beer) A crisp, American style wheat beer with raspberry puree added after filtration. Therefore, you may see raspberry
pulp in the beer. The raspberries provide the lager with a subtle purple coloration and haze, a fruity aroma, and a tartly sweet taste.
o Carlsberg (Pilsner) A well-proportioned bottom-fermented lager beer with a flavour of hops, grains, pine needles, sorrel
and Danish summer apples. The bitterness of the hops and the apple-like sweetness provide a harmoniously balanced taste.
Should ideally be enjoyed at 7-10°C
o Turbo Dog (Brown Ale) this beer had a rich body and color and a sweet chocolate toffee-like flavor. Turbodog began as
specialty ale but has gained a huge loyal following and has become one of our flagship brews.
o Golden (Golden Ale) A crisp, clean continental lager. Just four ingredients are all it takes: American malt, Mt. Hood hops,
German lager yeast and pure Abita Spring’s water. As the name implies, Abita Golden has a brilliant gold color.
o Amber (Munich Lager) It has a smooth, malty, slightly caramel flavor and a rich amber color. Abita Amber was the first beer
offered by the brewery and continues to be our leading seller.
o Light (Light Lager) This beer is uniquely hand-crafted using 100% all natural ingredients: malted barley, the finest hops,
German lager yeast and pristine Abita Springs water. The result is the smoothest, most flavorful light beer you will ever taste.
*o Restoration (American Pale Ale) It is liberally hopped and dry hopped with American Cascade and fermented with California
Ale yeast. The end result is brilliant gold ale with a rich body; mild bitterness and a snappy fresh citrus hop flavor and aroma.
o Tetly’s English (English Pale Ale) An English Pale Ale style beer from Carlsberg-Tetley Brewing Ltd in Leeds, United Kingdom.
o Jacobsen Dark (Dark Lager) Based on the oldest recipe in the Carlsberg archives - JC Jacobsen’s original recipe of 1854. We
analyzed the water used in Jacobsen’s time and created an exact copy of his starting ingredient by adding salts and minerals. The main raw
material is Münchenermalt from Germany, but we have also added a “floor malt” from England, just as was done in the 1850’s.
The beer is fermented at low temperature to give a specially mild and rounded caramel flavour.
o Kronenbourg 1664 (English Brown Ale) 1664 is a lager of high origin, characterized by the fineness of his taste.Its golden hue and
slight bitterness come from the best selection of hops (the Strisselspalt), and know-how, the Master Brewers French, for over 300 years.

treatment, some Caribbean breweries even use desalinated seawater in their beers.

sugar. The Alchemy bittering hops provide soft bitterness. Simcoe, a newly developed hop variety, adds unique hop flavor and aroma.
o Drifter Pale Ale (APA) With its unique citrus character, smooth drinkability, and distinctive hop character, Drifter Pale Ale is
truly an original. Brewed with generous amounts of Summit hops, a variety known for their intense citrus flavors and aromas,
Drifter has a taste unique to the Pale Ale category. True to style, the bittering hops are perceptible enough to give the beer a crisp,
clean, quenching finish, yet also soft enough to keep the beer smooth and balanced.

o Pear (Cider) To understand what Woodchuck Pear tastes like, take a deep breath, close your eyes and imagine yourself
floating down a cool crisp mountain stream in the middle of July OK, got it? Now put an entire pear in your mouth.
o Summer (Cider) If there was going to be an official drink for the summer season, it would be the Limited Release Summer
Cider. It was inevitable; we were going to come up with a Summer Cider at some point, mostly because the two just fit together
so nicely. Our Summer Cider is light, crisp, and leaves the tingle of fresh-picked Blueberries on the tip of your tongue.

o Amber (Cider) The original Woodchuck. The Amber is sweet (but not too sweet) with a nice golden color and crisp finish
o Granny Smith (Cider) Made from only Granny Smith apples, this one’s a lot more tart and quite a bit tangier than your average
Woodchuck. If you’re a green apple sort of person, then this could be your Woodchuck.

o Dos Perros Ale (American Brown Ale) Made with German Munich malt, English Pale malt, and Chocolate malt, and hopped
with Perle and Saaz hops. To lighten the body, as many Mexican brewers do, we add a small portion of flaked maize. The result
is a wonderfully bready malt aroma, balanced with some maize sweetness and a noble hop finish.
o Pale Ale (American Pale Ale) Yazoo Pale Ale bursts with spicy, citrusy hop aroma and flavor, coming from the newly discovered
Amarillo hop. The wonderful hop aroma is balanced nicely with a toasty malt body, ending with a cleansing hop finish. Made with English Pale,
Munich, Vienna, and Crystal malts, and generously hopped with Amarillo, Perle, and Cascade hops. Fermented with our English ale yeast.
o Hefeweizen (Bavarian Hefeweizen) An authentic example of a Bavarian Hefeweizen. “Hefe” means cloudy or yeasty and
“weizen” means wheat. This beer is made with mostly wheat and uses a true Hefeweizen yeast that gives it a fruity, banana aroma
with just a hint of cloves. The tart finish makes this the perfect summer beer.
o Hop Project (IPA) Each consecutive batch of Hop Project is brewed with a different blend of spicy, aromatic hops, never
using the same blend twice. It’s a Hophead’s dream come true!

beer fact: The type of water in a beer can strongly affect its taste. Superior ales are
produced with ‘hard water’ (containing a higher content of natural salts such as calcium)
while ‘soft water’ produces superior lagers. However, with the advent of water treatment,
some Caribbean breweries even use desalinated seawater in their beers.
