While you may already have your beer of choice sitting in the fridge (no shame, I keep a case ready for Knicks and Yankees games), artificial intelligence might have you rethinking your brew of choice. The Guardian shares how researchers in Belgium analysed the chemical makeup of 250 commercial Belgian beers.
A tasting panel of 16 participants sampled and scored each of the 250 beers for 50 different attributes, such as hop flavours, sweetness, and acidity – a process that took three years.
The researchers also collected 180,000 reviews of different beers from the online consumer review platform RateBeer, finding that while appreciation of the brews was biased by features such as price meaning they differed from the tasting panel’s ratings, the ratings and comments relating to other features – such as bitterness, sweetness, alcohol and malt aroma – these correlated well with those from the tasting panel.
