While enjoying a fine Belgian Ale you may notice that there is an apple in that there brew. There are plenty of beers that may have a Granny Smith apple taste or the beer may have an aroma of a fresh cut apple. No, they did not brew any apples in the batch it is just the way the flavors come together to taste 'like' certain fruits.
It is time to visit your local store and pick up a variety of apples. Pick up a Fugi, Honey Crisp, Golden and/or Red Delicious, Jazz, and sample each one for its unique flavor and texture. This is a fun activity to add to your next beer tasting party or even a fun day with the kids. Have each person write down their flavor description and texture experience to each apple.
Sampling these fruits on a regular base can help you to prepare your palate when trying to review your favorite Belgian Beer.
