Degusteerimis-seminar nr 1

Gambrinuse Tartu õllepoe seminariruumis leidis aset üks omavärki ja muhe üritus. Degusteerimis-seminar. Haruldaste ja veidrate asjade maitsmine. Kõrgelthinnatute hindamine. Noh ja lihtsalt üks mõnus istung.

Ette võeti seitse vägevat, mida hinnati viie kriteeriumi järgi (disain, vaht, värvus, lõhn ja maitse) ning anti hinded. Ilmselt tuleb edaspidi lisada veel üks mõõdik - vastavus stiilile.

Konsiiliumi hinnangutest sai koondhinne, mis läks tagantjärele võrdlusesse ratebeeri skooriga. Ega ei pea vist üllatuma, et need pingeread laias laastus kattusid. Head rüübet tunneb ikka igaüks ära, isegi kui hindamine esmakordselt ette võetakse. Mis sest et mõni rüübe tõi lausa pisara silmi :)

Järgmine seminar tuleb varsti ... oodake kutseid!

5. #MashTag 2014, BrewDog, 9%vol (96 / 8)

The #Mashtag concept is simple. We invited the public to vote on each aspect of the brew, from hops to malt to the special twist and even the label design, and from the thousands of possibilities this presented, the result is an imperial red ale, brewed with copious speciality malts, a global blend of hops, and blood orange, lemon peel and orange peel.

6. Barrel Proof, Amager, 9%vol (97 / 8,625)

Barley Wine - The term "Barrel Proof" is known from the American bourbon industry, where it is used for a whiskey that is bottled without any dilution. And so also with our Barrel Proof, who has spent five months just on bourbon casks and then bottled without any detours. The result is a beer, which is very much to quiet enjoyment and recess. And what then happens, we can not take responsibility for - but we would love to hear about it!
