A Guide to Appreciating the Great Beers of the World
'A Taste of Beer' explores the way in which brewers work, describing brewing methods used around the world and explaining how the basic ingredients - barley, hops, water and yeast - combine to give each beer its individual character. A unique feature of this book is the flavour wheel, which is based on the method that brewers use to analyse the balance of flavours when making beers. Roger Protz explains the principles of the flavour wheel and provides one for each type of beer, allowing at-a-glance information on the taste breakdown of each beer.
'The Taste of Beer' is also a guide to the appreciation of beer, with an entire chapter devoted to the pleasures of beer drinking, including suggestions for organising a beer tasting at home as well as the art of drinking beer with food.
