About this book
This is a beer log for anyone who wants to remember what they drank and how it compared. Each beer gets its own page. Note the name, brewery, style, price, location, date, IBU and ABV, then write down what you notice in the nose, palate and finish.
Finding the words for what you taste or smell can be tricky, so the checkboxes give helpful prompts. There are 30 common flavours to tick, from grapefruit and pine to biscuit, molasses and banana. Two wheels, Hop-Forward, Sour & Expressive and Malt-Driven & Balanced, group flavours into families. A colour scale runs from pale straw to black. A body and mouthfeel scale runs from thin to chewy, and you can mark carbonation as low, medium or high. Finish with a star rating and a few lines of notes.
Four index pages hold a numbered list of your beers with their ratings, so a favourite is easy to find again.
