Sensory Exercise: Determining Taster Status

Explaining how bitterness works as a taste sense, how it appears in beer, and how we perceive it is one of my favorite sensory exercises to do. People come away with new knowledge not only about bitterness, but also about their palates and how they perceive bitterness. This is a super easy exercise to set up that also scales fabulously for large groups, so it is low-effort, high-reward for you as the organizer and for the participants.
