01: The Fundamental Four

When it comes to tasting, there are four key elements to consider:

  1. Aroma: The smell, the savor, the je ne sais quoi of any brew.
  2. Appearance: The color, clarity, and overall aesthetic of your beverage.
  3. Taste: The flavors, the textures, the mouthfeel of it all.
  4. Body: The weight, the finish, the lingering aftertaste

Each of these aspects can make or break the experience, so take note.
