Subject: "Fleeting" Aroma 


If we are concerned with fleeting aromas, maybe we should judge them as they 
would be served on Saturday night in a pub, smoking optional.  Why not judge 
beers as they are commonly served?

Seriously, I have never understood the snort your beer either.  In wine you 
let it sit and let the obnoxious aromatics dissapate as we look at the color 
hue and clarity.  In beer we knock them down if on opening the bottle we 
detect DMS that dissapears quickly.  What are we trying to prove?

Balanced judging is in order.  The fleeting aromatics should be noted on 
score sheets but on the points take the duration of aroma in account.  I 
understand sensory blindness will came to play, but should we not know when 
we will get sensory blindness from practice judging?
