The beer body is a big deal!
Do you know what a beer body is? What is it like? Why is this concept so important for evaluating the taste and quality characteristics of a beer?
This question is best explained by the term used by beer connoisseurs around the world. Mouthfeel is literally translated from English as “what your mouth feels”, or mouthfeel. There is no such word in Russian, so professionals use a second name for the same concept to evaluate beer: body.
Carbonation, i.e. the presence of “gases” in the beer, is important for determining the beer’s body. If the content of carbonic acid is high, the taster’s mouth fills with small needles, which prevent him from feeling the taste of the foamy drink to the fullest. That is, the carbonation of the beer must be moderate, otherwise it will be difficult to determine its strength.
So, what is the body of the beer? The sensation that forms in the mouth at the moment of sipping beer is the body.
The most commonly used terms to describe beer body are light, watery, dense, full-bodied, uneven, rounded, or balanced. Let’s briefly discuss each of these.
