A TASTING NOTE WITH SOMETHING TO SAY
Find the words. Separate character from concerns. Turn what you actually taste into a description someone else can use.

01 / SET THE CONTEXT
02 / FOLLOW THE SIP
Choose “not detected” only if you assessed it. An unselected word means not assessed. Aroma and flavour are separate observations.
03 / MAKE SENSE OF IT
Your intention supplies the context. These checks come from the site’s working guidance; they suggest where to investigate, not a confirmed cause.
04 / PUT IT INTO WORDS
Only detected observations you marked “fits intention” appear here. Your choices become the short customer description.

This tool uses the working vocabulary on Describing a Sorghum Beer, the draft sensory lexicon, and sensory evaluation guidance. Source snapshot: sorghum-language-pages, 26 September 2026.
The intensity words here are informal notes, not the lexicon’s calibrated 0–15 scale. No panel score, ingredient origin, measured colour, gluten status or safety conclusion is inferred from a descriptor. Dark colour doesn’t prove coffee flavour; a clean taste doesn’t establish safety.
