- not a fault by identity
Context before verdict
A perceptual descriptor only. Presence, intensity, desirability, and quality meaning depend on beer, threshold, process, and style context.
Possible causes
What might contribute to this perception
These are evidence-backed possibilities, not deterministic troubleshooting diagnoses.
No BEU008 possible-cause edge is asserted yet.
Style context
Where this descriptor can be characteristic
A characteristic-of edge describes style convention, never a universal requirement or quality score.
No foundation style-context edge is asserted yet.
