Mini story: after having worked with sensory in mayonnaise, ice cream, snacks, already being in the flavor industry, my big challenge was to develop the beer category. At that time, there was no approved and sensory language for the beer category, which was in accordance with industry standards. We worked very actively with beer clients, at that time, with Modelo; in the end there was a lot of depth of understanding to resolve descriptive sensory issues; 2 years later, I was invited to work at Constellation Brands, where my clients would be my leaders and would lead me to discover even more interesting topics in beer category innovation.
