Ok... I'll admit, beer is a terrible example.
Though personally I can't tell one IPA from another unless they go really weird (like they have dark IPAs around here). And I vastly prefer stouts.
- smsm42 6y agoI don't drink a lot of beer, especially lately, but I do like to have a different one once in a while, and I certainly can taste the difference between many, and also can get an idea from most descriptions, what "fruity", "nutty", etc. means. That may have come with experience... Through given a beer in a blind test, I probably couldn't write a useful taste profile and if I tried, it would probably come out very embarrassing for me, since I had no training for this, I think given the description I could have if not exact than pretty useful idea of what to expect. Interestingly enough, though I like taste of coffee in general, I have never cared for different sorts, it's all "coffee" for me, though I know people who swear there's a huge difference (and they are not generally pretentious kind so I tend to believe they genuinely think so).
