Blindfolded taste test.

I had the idea to do a blind taste test because Amie thought she liked
Hoegaarden better than Duvel. We decided to expand the competition to
increase the complexity. So we did a blind folded taste test of
Hoegarden, Blue Moon, Belguim Sunshine Wheat, Duvel, and Bud Light.
We both participated in the test. We both picked Hoegaarden as our
favorite. Hoegaarden won however we both thought it with Bluemoon.
It was challenging, but one of the most identifiable beers was the bud
light. It has no aroma, it does not have any taste compared to the
other beers. It was funny to watch Amie's facial reaction when
drinking the Bud Light. She looked disgusted. The other beers are so
dynamic comparibly to bud light. Surprisingly the Duvel was second to
last place. Amie and I had a lot of fun with this test. I do have to
note the Hoegaarden glass was not the one depicted. We tried to keep
it consistent with the glasses. We cleaned our pallate with water and
crackers between drinks.
