The impact of varying key sensory attributes on consumer perception of beer body (2023)
Journal Article
Ivanova, N., Yang, Q., Bastian, S. E., Wilkinson, K. L., Johnson, T. E., & Ford, R. (2023). The impact of varying key sensory attributes on consumer perception of beer body. Food Quality and Preference, 112, Article 105004. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.foodqual.2023.105004

Beer body remains a poorly defined term, and although technical brewing experts currently describe it as the fullness of flavour and mouthfeel, little is known regarding the impact of different sensory factors on its perception. Previous studies have... Read More about The impact of varying key sensory attributes on consumer perception of beer body.
