Beer Tasting¶
Not a tasting log. Most beers I open go unrecorded; the ones here stood out, either because they were remarkable or because they pointed somewhere I want to go.
Opening a bottle is often where a culture journey starts. Tasting is when I decide whether the bugs inside are worth isolating and making my own, so each note ends with that decision:
| Isolate? | Meaning |
|---|---|
| maybe | Interesting, but not yet; revisit with another bottle |
| started | Isolation under way; links to the journey in Cultures |
| done | Isolation finished; links to the journey and the organism pages in Cultures |
| pass | Enjoyed or learned from, nothing to isolate (pasteurised, filtered, or not the character I am after) |
A date given as YYYY-MM or YYYY on a note was not recorded more precisely.
Brewery and beer names identify the source only; notes describe what I tasted and found, nothing more (see the disclaimer).
