5 Tips to Improve Your Beer Tasting Skills w/Mirella Amato (WSET)
Using the WSET Level 2 Beer SAT, Mirella will talk through a full sensory assessment and description of a beer. SAT is short for ‘Systematic Approach to Tasting’ and is one of the tools that was developed by WSET as a part of their course for the WSET Level 2 Award in Beer. The SAT covers all aspects of beer tasting, including the Appearance, Nose, Palate as well as a Conclusion to assess quality. As she takes you through a tasting, Mirella will highlight five take-aways that will help you improve the way you assess and communicate beer to your customers and peers. She will also explain how the Conclusion section of the SAT can be used to assess the quality of a beer, even if it’s not brewed to style. Many experienced tasters have found the WSET Level 2 Beer SAT to be a useful tool….find out why!
