Beer Defects

Beer Defects is an application containing detailed information about aroma and flavor defects found in beer. Beer defects – also known as faults – are noticeable and objectionable departures from an acceptable norm.

The application is a complete reference to 12 common defects which may occur, and includes:

• Molecule responsible (chemical name)

• Chemical formula

• Main origins

• Typical concentration in beer

• Approximate flavor threshold

• Possible causes

• Possible treatments

• Possible prevention

FEATURES

Sensory descriptors (what it smells or tastes like) include:

∗ Banana, estery

∗ Nail polish, solvent, glue

∗ Bruised apple, sherry, nutty

∗ Phenolic, smoky, clove-like

∗ Antiseptic, hospital, plastic, vinyl

∗ Cheesy, sweat socks, old hops, putrid

∗ Rancid butter, butterscotch

∗ Rotten egg, sulfidic

∗ Skunky, lightstruck

∗ Canned corn, molasses, vegetal

∗ Cardboard, paper, oxidized

∗ Vinegar, sour

∗ Aroma and flavor defects can be searched by sensory descriptors or by chemical name (molecule responsible for the defect)

∗ General information about sensory thresholds

∗ Good sanitation techniques

WHO COULD USE IT?

Quick and accurate identification of off-aromas and flavors is advantageous for:

• Professional brewers

• Brewery laboratory and cellar staff

• Home brewers

• Instructors for beer programs

• Students in beer programs

• Beer judges

• Bartenders

• Beer merchants and staff

• Restauranteurs

• Beer writers

• Savvy beer consumers

WHY USE IT?

• For brewers, early remedial action can often correct the problem, before the fault becomes more serious or irreversible.

• For beer merchants, avoiding losses associated with defective beers improves the profit margin.

• Beer consumers should also know more about beer off-aromas and flavors so that rejection is based on genuine defects, not unfamiliarity.

A hard copy version of this app - called “The Defects Wheel for Beer” - is a perfect complement. Please see our website www.appliedsensory.com for this and other products including “The Defects Wheel for Wine” and “The Defects Wheel for Olive Oil” or to leave feedback/comments about this app.

A comparable app – Wine Defects - is available for wine at the Android Market.
