So, my palate is pretty terrible (I think). I can only notice flavors when some one points them out to me.
Examples:
I brewed a vanilla porter, I didn't want to submit it to a competition because I couldn't taste any vanilla. Well, the feedback that I got was that it's dominated by vanilla. After reading that, yep I can notice the vanilla.
I submitted an IPA and I thought was too citrusy, the response I got back was that there is a strong piney flavor/aroma. now I notice it.
Is this just a training issue. Will I be able to become a competent beer judge?
