Spicy
Interesting.
So it could be something that just contains "spices". Such as cinnamon, nutmeg or even pepper?
Or more of a description of the person drinking the brew.
Sounds kind of like a wide description.
Sorry I would have to pass on the "J" Pepper brew, no thanks.
Maybe something with a hint of ceyenne, that might not be bad, just don't care for the jalapenos.
Marv.
I thought we had some people that have taken the BJCP courses? What does the Judging world feel spicy is and is cause?
Only spices I have had in beer is coriander seed. Used quite extensively in Belgian witbier. Dont like it, at least in the Hoegaarden that I tried.
I can't see where spicy appears at all in the BJCP guidelines, so according to them spicy is interpreted a different way.
so spicy would be an individuals interp only and probably it level of intensity reflects the just the drinkers tolerance and preference to the particular style?
In a way yes, I don't think BJCP is the end-all of how you can taste beer, but you won't see them calling a hoppy beer "spicy".
