What does the SRM (Standard Reference Method) measure?

Bitterness of Beer
Aroma Intensity
Alcohol Content
Color of Beer

The correct answer is: Color of Beer

The Standard Reference Method (SRM) is specifically designed to measure the color of beer. It quantifies how light passes through a beer sample, providing a standard way to determine its hue. The SRM scale helps brewers and tasters to assess and compare the visual characteristics of various beer styles, aiding in understanding how those colors might influence perceptions of flavor and the overall beer experience. The other options relate to different aspects of beer quality or character. For instance, bitterness is typically measured in International Bitterness Units (IBU), aroma intensity is assessed through sensory evaluation, and alcohol content is measured using specific gravity or as a percentage by volume (ABV). Each of these has its distinct measurement methods that are unrelated to the SRM scale.
