Is 12-degree beer considered strong beer? How to taste imported beer?

I believe that everyone has drunk a lot of beer and has their own opinions on this aspect, but when it comes to where the best beer is, it is still Germany. As for imported strong beer, how should we taste it?

Don't be in a hurry to toast, you should savor imported beer slowly

Who still drinks pee beer now? The elegant way to drink imported beer is to taste it. It is not suitable to drink one cup after another, or even to "cheers". First of all, the alcohol content is high. There are many beers with an alcohol content of 7 or 8 degrees. Secondly, many imported beers have a rich taste and are worth tasting slowly. It is said that beer can be brewed at home because its ingredients are very simple: water, malt, and hops. Hops are also called lupulus. Its function is to bring various aromas and bitterness to beer, balance the taste, and also have antibacterial effects and extend the shelf life. ◦

Category Yellow beer Dark beer

According to the color, there are yellow beer (yellow, orange-yellow), dark beer (reddish brown, dark brown), and dark beer (red, reddish brown). The color of beer is mainly determined by malt. For example, the malt of dark beer is roasted. Dark beer has a heavier taste and a slightly sweet aftertaste. In contrast, yellow beer is more refreshing and suitable for table wine. Red beer is equivalent to fruit wine because it is added with fruits, which is very suitable for women. If you don't consider the alcohol content, you can simply choose according to your taste needs.

In addition, the familiar terms of draft beer and cooked beer are classified according to whether or not they are sterilized. Draft beer or fresh beer is not sterilized, so its shelf life is relatively short, at most one week. If you see words such as Ale on the beer label, that is also a classification of beer, which is divided into two categories based on the fermentation method. Ale is a top fermentation method, and the advantage is that the beer has a prominent aroma. Lager is a bottom fermentation method, and the advantage is that the beer is not easy to deteriorate.

Strong beer is 8% or more

For beer, a VOL of 8% or more is considered strong beer. Maltose concentration is an indicator of the quality of beer. The higher the concentration, the better the quality and the longer the foam lasts.

Extremely sensitive to temperature

Like red wine, imported beer also has a particular temperature. The appropriate tasting temperature is indicated on the label. Almost every beer needs to be drunk chilled. Most of them are between 2℃-8℃. If you buy beer and refrigerate it at home, it is best to adjust the refrigerator to a suitable temperature. Because of the temperature, a bottle of beer is not suitable for drinking for too long. It is best to finish 330ml of low-alcohol beer within 10 minutes, and high-alcohol beer within 30 minutes. No one orders a dozen imported beers to drink slowly, and it is estimated that the bar does not allow it. The bar will stipulate that you will be opened for the next bottle after you finish one bottle. Because it is sensitive to temperature, imported beer must be poured into the corresponding cup. For low-alcohol beer, the cup should have thick walls so that it is not easy to heat up too quickly. For high-alcohol beer, the cup should have thin walls, and the temperature will rise, and the taste will be better.

Procedure from elementary to advanced

Most imported beers are not suitable for drinking one glass after another. You may not be able to stand the alcohol content alone. You can start with a bottle of yellow beer (330ml), low alcohol content, such as 4.9% Hoegaarden or 6.6% LEFFE. If you still don't feel it, then increase the alcohol content, such as a bottle of Duvel 8.5%. After drinking this bottle, you should feel something. If you are not satisfied, increase it again. Except for those who can drink very well, three bottles a night are enough for most people. The drinking process can be based on the alcohol content from light to dark, from light to strong.

There are two main types of beer on the market in Wenzhou, German dark beer and Belgian beer. German dark beer is very famous and has many brands, but its taste is relatively single and persistent. Belgian beer has many varieties, and can produce various floral and fruity aromas, with rich taste layers. The taste of a Belgian beer: it smells floral, it tastes fruity, and it tastes malt in the throat, just like tasting red wine.
