What is Beer?

Beer is an ancient fermented beverage made from fermented grains and hops. Common grains include barley and wheat, but nearly any grain can be used for beer brewing. After a couple of months of fermentation, the beer is ready to drink and is effervescent from the process. Beer varies in its colors and flavors. Lighter beers tend to be a golden/yellow color and have a mild taste with the characteristic malty bitterness that comes with beer. Darker beers may be opaque and deep brown with robust and rich flavors. Herbs, fruits, coffee, and chocolate are some examples of flavors added to beer for flavor enhancement.

What does Beer Taste Like?

Bitter

Bitter is one of the five main tastes. It has a sharp and pungent profile. Bitter is a naturally occurring flavor in many foods, including coffee, chocolate, bitter melon, and chicory. Bitter is used sparingly to accentuate the flavors around it and can be mellowed by other tastes in both savory and sweet dishes.

Ingredients

water

Water is a substance and chemical compound made up of hydrogen and oxygen. It is clear, fluid, flavorless and odorless. Water is a necessity in nearly every aspect of life, including cooking, baking and hydrating the human body. Water can be served as a cold beverage, or at any temperature comfortable to the mouth and skin.

barley malt

Barley malt is made from barley grains that are soaked in water and then germinated. The malt is made into either a syrup or a powder. The syrup is used to sweeten foods and desserts. It is thick, dark brown and has a sweet malted taste. The powder is a beige color and has a similar flavor.

hops

Hops are a flower that grows on the hops plant. This plant is a climbing vine with flowers that are formed into green bud-like clusters. These flowers are extremely popular in the production of beer brewing. They impart a bitter flavor and add floral notes, while stabilizing the beverage during the brewing process. Hops are primarily used to make beer.
