I had a phase where a lot of my beer reviews, either in writing or verbally had the word “medicinal” in them. It was stuck in my head. The beer equivalent of an earworm.
Hopefully, my language has grown to be more precise and descriptive since then but even the best could use a refresher and the handy “word” guide from Beer Tasting Mastery should be consulted the next time you are stuck for just the right word.
