Aroma and Body - The beer, not the girl.

I don't know one person in my life that has ever stated, "I wish beer were more stinky." And if the beer doesn't feel like something in the mouth, you may as well drink air.

Drinking beer is a savory experience. It alerts your senses to pay attention.

The aroma of malted barley is sweet and intensifies with with darker beers.

Hops are a pleasant, flowery, bitter aroma to balance the sweet smell of the malt.

Fruity aromas can add to the bouquet of the moment. It is always a good idea to smell the beer before and during the drinking. Smell is as much a part of taste as the actual swallow.

There is light and full bodied beers. Light feels like water. Full bodied is thicker and chewy. There is a range in between that light and full. The light in body is not about calories, it is about texture.
