German term

Genusswert

German to English Tech/Engineering Food & Drink brewing
In der Getränkeindustrie wird das häufig mit "drinkability" übersetzt.

Siehe z.B. "Die Drinkability bzw. der Genusswert des Bieres wird auch von der Hopfensorte sowie der Hopfung beeinflusst. Hier geht es laut Prof. Back um die Harmonie und Ausgewogenheit sowie um den Anreiz zum Weitertrinken."

Drinkability wird definiert als: potable, suitable and safe for drinking, aber umfasst eigentlich viel mehr.

Hat jemand eine Idee, wie man Genusswert ausdrücken kann, sodass Drinkability auch umfasst wird?
Proposed translations (English)
3 +5 enjoyment factor / savourability
4 +1 palatability
3 pleasurability / enjoyability
2 drinking pleasure
1 relish / relish factor

Jonathan MacKerron May 2, 2008:
I'd go with your last suggestion
Edith Kelly (asker) May 2, 2008:
You are more or less right but the other way round. Drinkability is quite commonly used though the definition seems to be evasive. I can simply drop the Genusswert bit and use drinkability alone.
Jonathan MacKerron May 2, 2008:
is this perhaps simply an attempt to translate "drinkabilty", i.e. the same thing??

enjoyment factor / savourability

Der Begriff "enjoyment factor" wird zumindest in zahlreichen google-Treffern im Zusammenhang mit Bier verwendet.
Spontan dachte ich an "savourability" und konnte feststellen, dass der Begriff ein paarmal im Zusammenhang mit Bier verwendet wird und sich offenbar von "drinkability" unterscheidet - es wurde mir aus den Beispielen jedoch nicht wirklich klar, wo die Unterscheidung liegt.
Siehe z.B.: www.ratebeer.com/beer/klb-nut-brown-ale/5844/
Peer comment(s):
agree Craig Meulen : Diff: 'savour' emphasises a longer-lasting experience of making the most of the taste. "drinkability' set against this would be the quality of the beer that makes you want to drink it - more quickly, not stopping to 'savour' the taste. imho

palatability

This is commonly used for food and drink. I would, however, suggest dropping the word "drinkability" simply to avoid having two words ending in "-ility" in rapid succession.
Peer comment(s):
agree transatgees : Yes, I have also seen this used in articles on food and drink.
