Exam Focus
- Explain knowledge requirements of listed styles as a style comparison topic within Beer style knowledge.
- Use specific evidence such as ABV, IBU, SRM, gravity, attenuation, carbonation, aroma, flavor, mouthfeel, finish, origin, and producer examples.
- Apply the topic to style identification, historical context, and commercial example selection rather than repeating the heading alone.
Core knowledge
- Style knowledge should include parameters, sensory profile, history, ingredients, process, carbonation, body, finish, and commercial examples.
- Commercial examples should illustrate classic and contemporary expressions without replacing style definition knowledge.
- Advanced candidates should compare nearby styles by what changes in malt, hops, yeast, strength, color, bitterness, and finish.
