Every beer style has its own character. Serving temperature and glassware influence how you experience malt, hops, yeast aromas and texture.
Lagers and pilsners are generally served at 4–7°C, wheat beers at 6–9°C, IPAs and Belgian ales at 8–12°C, and strong dark ales at 10–14°C. Follow the brewery’s serving advice when available.
Use a clean glass: a tall lager glass for pilsners, a weizen glass for wheat beer, or a tulip glass for Belgian ales. Pour at an angle, then straighten the glass to build a moderate foam head.
Notice malt, bread, caramel, hops, citrus, fruit or spice. Let stronger beers warm slightly to bring out their aromatics.
Different beer styles naturally have different aromasTake a small sip and consider malt sweetness, hop bitterness, acidity, carbonation and body. Notice how the aftertaste develops.
Sour and fruit beers have a different balance from lagers and stoutsLager and pilsner — snacks, fish, fried dishes.
IPA and pale ale — burgers, spicy dishes.
Stout and dark ale — roasted meat, chocolate.
Fruit and sour beer — soft cheese, fruit desserts.
Belgian ales may show spicy yeast character, wheat beers a soft texture, and sour styles pronounced fruit acidity. Bottle-conditioned beers may contain natural yeast sediment.
Sediment can be normal in bottle-conditioned beer
