Ilk,
The perfect beer is
the beer that tastes
perfect -to you.
Have a friend pour all
three beers into identical glasses
and label them 1, 2 and 3. Now you taste
and identify each beer. Whether you guess
all three brands right, or all three wrong, you'll know which
tastes best to you. Don't be surprised if it's not your brand.
To get a better picture of each beer's taste, rate its flavor
characteristics from 1 to 10 on the scale at the right.

What makes beers taste different?
Hops are a major factor. Too much hops can make a
beer bitter. Too little leaves it bland. Barley malt is important, too.
it gives a beer "body" and adds a mellowness.The balance
of the two is what makes a beer taste smooth.
