Abstract
The extent to which people can discern haze in beer has been
evaluated. It appears that the current specifications for haze may be
marginally too exacting. It also appears that beers with levels of
turbidity just below the level generally detectable by the human eye may
actually be preferred to those with even lower levels of turbidity.
Keywords: haze, measurement, perception, specification
S�ntesis
Se ha evaluado hasta que punto una persona puede discernir turbieza
en cerveza. Pareciera que las especificaciones existentes en cuanto a
tur�bieza pueden ser demasiadas exigentes. Tambi�n parece que una cer�veza
con una turbidez ligeramente debajo del nivel generalmente detectable
visualmente, pueda ser preferible a una cerveza con m�s bajo nivel de
turbieza.
Palabras claves: especificaci�n, medici�n, percepci�n,
