MAY ALES MEETING

Good Afternoon Members.

Tonight we are hosting the 2nd last ALES Club meeting of the season. The beer style of the month is “Sour Beers” and we’ve procured a number of local and Alberta based sours to taste.

The main focus of the meeting is “Sensory Training” for beer tasting/judging. We have vials of 6 essential off-flavors that will be doctoring standard beers, sampling, and discussing the off-flavors that are produced. The common off-flavors that we’ll be going through tonight are: DMS, Trans-2-Nonenal, Isolvaric Acid, Diacetyl, H2S, and Lactobacillus Contamination.

As always, the ALES Meeting is hosted in the Club Room of the Bushwakker; we will be hosting this at 7:00 PM.
