SRM describes which property of beer?

• A. Aroma
• B. Color
• C. Flavor
• D. Temperature

Answer: (B)

SRM describes how beer looks—the color or shade from pale to very dark. It’s a standard way to quantify beer color by measuring how much light, typically around 430 nm, the beer absorbs. Darker beers absorb more light and thus have higher SRM values, while lighter beers absorb less and have lower values. The color mainly comes from malt kilning and the pigments produced, so styles with roasted or caramel malts (like stouts or ambers) tend to have higher SRM, whereas pale lagers sit at the low end. This measurement helps brewers and consumers compare color across beers, separate from aroma, flavor, or serving temperature.
