Nutty is not necessarily an off flavor, but some beers are known to have more of this flavor than others. For example, Hex Nut Browns are known for a nutty flavor. We’ll mix up a batch of nutty beer so you can find out for yourself what to look for in a beer. no http://www.beerloons.com 0331651f-6771-26f6-ce53-81d4dd9b76c2 Fri, 24 Feb 2012 19:56:16 GMT Mike Campbell On this show I am going to discuss the flavor of astringency.

In some beer styles it is fine to have a high amount of alcohol, but not in all. We are going to take a standard beer, add some vodka, and then taste a beer with too much alcohol in it per the style. Sound good? no http://www.beerloons.com 0b84ce97-54c7-d790-1498-fafa468767c4 Fri, 03 Feb 2012 18:15:43 GMT Mike Campbell On today’s show I am going to discuss the flavor of sweetness. You might hear a lot of brewers use the term cloying as well. Keep in mind that some beer styles will allow some room for sweetness, but it should be in check with the beer. What we are going to talk about is when the brewer, or brewery, has gone a little nuts and the beer is too sweet. no http://www.beerloons.com 66cfa3e1-edfb-b100-3e53-78f2de772d9f Thu, 26 Jan 2012 21:13:16 GMT Mike Campbell On today’s show I am going to discuss a sour, or acidic, flavor in beer.
