To best assess the flavors of a beer served at 38 F, what should you do?

  1. Chill it to 34 F

  2. Drink it from the bottle

  3. Let it warm up

  4. Pour it in a frosted mug

The correct answer is: Let it warm up

Keeping the beer at 38 F is important because it allows for optimal flavor profile and carbonation. Chilling the beer to 34 F would result in a colder temperature, potentially muting the flavors of the beer. Similarly, drinking it from the bottle would also affect the flavor as you wouldn't be able to pick up on the aroma and texture. Using a frosted mug would also numb the flavors, and it is not recommended for certain styles of beer. The best option would be to let the beer warm up a bit before drinking it. This allows for the flavors to fully develop and for you to fully appreciate the beer.
