| ------------------------- January Meeting To really know beer you need to know be able to critically evaluate its characteristics using the common language of beer sensory analysts. It is essential therefore to understanding the flavor and aromatic characteristics attributable to the full range of beer styles. The January meeting did just that as brewers DJ Soboti and Jeff Levine conducted a training session that gave us a basic introduction to sensory analysis, a technical foundation for recognizing some of the most important beer flavors, and techniques for identifying them in commercial beers. Many thanks to DJ and Jeff for a truly great meeting!! ------ (Meeting notes by Dan Hodge) Members Present Tom Hafstead Dan Hodge Steve Ivory Dan Soboti DJ Soboti Steve Welgoss Jeff Levine Nanette Welgoss Vince Capano Doug Vohden Chris Johnson Livingston Hinckley Matt Monfet Brandon Einhorn Brian Lynch Dan Hodge Andrew MacKenzi Non-Members Present Rick LIbby Dan Monfet Andrew Kruglinski Cindy Hafstead Tony Lotson Lanesa Allory Beers tasted after the meeting were:
