There are five different characteristics to evaluate in water.
1. Appearance ? a good water should be clear and bright and show no
floating particles.
2. Odour ? no odour gets the highest score.
3. Flavour - Descriptions of prize winning waters include: sturdy,
clean without seeming scrubbed, reticent with character and serious
but well balanced. The very best waters are said to have breeding and
finesse. Losers may be apre which means the water is rough or harsh
because of the presence of chemicals like chlorine. Chemical, greasy
or artificial taste loses points.
4. Mouth feel ? a clean edge, a fresh and light texture; nothing
flabby, cloying, musty or squeaky.
5. Aftertaste ? ideally tastelessness while thirst-quenching and
clean. (Source: Berkeleysprings.com.)
