Average Ratings of Aroma and Flavor Perceptions The average aroma and flavor ratings for each descriptor were plotted on a radar graph. | RESULTS |Ī total of 78 people participated in the evaluation of this beer, all blind to the hop variety used until after they completed the survey.
Once the data was collected, the average rating of each aroma and flavor descriptor was compiled and analyzed.
For each aroma and flavor descriptor, tasters were asked to write-in the perceived strength of that particular characteristic on a 0-9 scale where a rating of 0 meant they did not perceive the character at all and a 9 rating meant the character was extremely strong. Participants were instructed to focus only on the aromatic qualities of the beer before evaluating the flavor. The filled keg was placed in my keezer and burst carbonated overnight before I reduced the gas to serving pressure. After a week of conditioning, I transported the keg with me to Homebrew Con in San Diego, CA for data collection. With fermentation complete, I transferred the beer to a CO2 purged keg. Steinbart for hooking me up with the malt for this batch! Vista Pale Ale I went with our standard Hop Chronicles Pale Ale recipe for this batch, making small adjustments to the kettle hop additions to keep the bitterness in check. When I finally got my hands on some fresh Vista hops, I excited to try it out in a single-hop Pale Ale that I would serve to blind tasters for evaluation. Having never used Vista before, I found the existing descriptors very appealing, as I’m a big fan of fruity IPA.
