“One of the challenges [in blind tasting] is trying to identify the off flavors. I don’t think people fully appreciate how alive a beer is – it’s a live product made from agricultural products. It’s a very perishable item – these beers change a lot with time. If you can recognize the off-flavors – you can understand the mistake in the [brewing] process.” [07:00]
