Now take a first sip and let the beer wander through the mouth so as to make sure that it comes into contact with all regions of the tongue that are sensitive to different flavours (salty, sweet, acid and bitter). Exhale at the same time to resavour the flavours, this time thanks to ‘retro-olfaction’. Taste the beer to fully appreciate all the flavours it presents to you.

Try also to appreciate the aftertaste, whether it is strong or soft, persistent or ephemere; because it is also an important part of a tasting.

The flavours in the aftertaste can be quite different than the ones that dominated in the taste of the beer. And contrary to popular belief, the aftertaste can be very pleasant indeed, to the point of inspiring to taste the beer again.

CHEERS !!!
