Hefeweizen, Weissebier, Wit and other wheat beers, Kolsch, Premium Lager, Pilsner, European Strong Lager, American Dark Lager, sweetened Fruit Lambics, and some Belgian pale ales such as Duvel will fit here.Ĭool, out of your fridge for ten minutes (8 – 12C, 45 – 54F): This range is designated for beers with richer body and aromatic properties, more complex and layered flavors, but will still quench and refresh your palate.
These are perfect for hot summer days at the beach or in front of a BBQ, or after hard physical exercise. They will range greatly in flavor intensity from light to mild, and include sweet flavors as well. Often beers with high carbonation, and many times fruit added will fit into this range. Malt Liquor, Canadian-style commodity ales and lagers, low alcohol or low calorie beers, Scandinavian-style ciders, and most all commodity grade beers fit into this category of flavorless beverages.Ĭold, around fridge temperature (4 – 7C, 39 – 45F): This is more appropriate for beers designed to quench your thirst and refresh you. You get these beers at most all sporting venues and at commercial shopping chains. It is better suited for pop, iced tea and similar beverages, but certain beer styles do fit into this range. Very Cold, slightly colder than your fridge (0 – 4C, 32 – 39F): This serving temperature is for beers which you don’t actually want to taste. Serving temperature for beer can be broken down into six essential categories: It should be noted though that serving temperature is merely a guideline everyone has their own specific preferences as to how they like to enjoy their beers, and there is no real right or wrong. The intensity of the beers flavor is but one of many characteristics that should be taken into consideration when picking the proper temperature for your beer. It can be difficult to know what temperature you should enjoy your beer at, and it is not as cut and dry as determining if your beer has a little or a lot of flavor. But the question still remains what temperature should I enjoy my delicious beer at to best absorb the flavors that it has to offer? Even American breweries are making better wits, such as Victory's Whirlwind, or Avery's White Rascal, or New Belgium's amazing (and sadly discontinued) Fat Tire Belgian White.We learned yesterday that the marketing campaigns we see every day which conjure up fantasies about ice cold beer are not designed to enhance your beer drinking experience, but rather to increase the big guys wallets. A lot of people say UFO is a better Blue Moon, and it very well may be, but UFO doesn't hold a candle to witbiers from La Trappe or Unibroue or St. If someone hands me one, I'll gladly drink it, but I won't be buying it again as there are a lot of better options. Mouthfeel is fine, if lacking the effervescence I expect from Belgian witbiers. Taking a sip of UFO, and the flavours just line up and announce themselves like roll call - wheat, here orange, here coriander, here. Taking a sip of Unibroue, the flavours mingle and dance across your toungue. I had it at the same time as I had Unibroue's Witbier, and the Unibroue had a delicacy and complexity to the flavours that UFO didn't. It's simple, straightforward, and a little boring. The aroma is primarily orange, but rather than orange peel it comes across more like an orange creamsicle.Ī sip brings forth wheat malt, orange notes, and a hint of coriander. Pours a hazy orange with only the barest traces of head that disappear instantly.
