Adjunct: A Logical Approach to Understanding Flavour
Join sensory analyst, Certified Cicerone, beer educator, writer and beer judge Briony Liebich, on a journey through flavour and aroma. With 17 years experience in the beer, wine and food industry, Briony will take you thru some of the more commonly occurring beer off-favours.
She will help you identify their sensory characteristics, typical causes and talk thru corrective actions for each off favour to assist with improving your own brewing process and let's face it, better tasting beers.
You will go through three "aroma's in a jar", and 4 spiked beers in this session to get a good understanding of how to apply your new understanding of two of our most under described senses.
$60 per ticket :: This Adjunct event conflicts with Hazy Magic: Yeast and Hop Selections Analysed / Derek Lacey - Bluestone Yeast
Briony Liebich Bio:
I’m a sensory analyst and an expert taster. I’ve got 17 years’ experience in the beer, wine and food industries (and before you ask, yes it does mean I get paid to taste beer!).
I've worked with some of Australian's best known and loved food, beer and wine brands. My experience includes:
- Managing brewery sensory programs
- Leading tasting and shelf-life sensory sessions
- Supporting brewery quality control, compliance testing and lean manufacturing
- Organising, leading and marketing wine tasting and events at cellar door
- Managing brewery sensory programs
- Designing and delivering sensory projects for product development and research
- Expert judging at various Australian food and beverage awards
I encourage everyone to be more mindful whenever eating and drinking. Paying attention is how we learn to describe flavours, recognise quality aspects and really appreciate what's in a glass or on a plate. I enjoy sharing my passion for sensory analysis and training others to improve their tasting ability whether they are general consumers or industry professionals.
