What should you do before moving on to judge the next entry?

Before moving on to judge the next entry, it is essential to complete the judging of the current entry. This involves carefully assessing the beer based on the established criteria, taking detailed notes on its aroma, appearance, flavor, mouthfeel, and overall impression. Completing the evaluation allows for a thorough and fair scoring process, which is critical in maintaining consistency and integrity in the judging process.

Ensuring that you have fully documented your thoughts and assigned a score for the current entry prevents any oversight, allowing judges to provide the best possible feedback. This practice emphasizes the importance of taking the time to consider each beer on its own merits before transitioning to the next sample. By doing so, you contribute to a more organized and effective judging experience.
