What is Foamscore?

An online study program for people preparing for beer certifications without a mentor or study group. Every lesson and question maps to the official syllabus, so you study what the exam covers and nothing else.

Learn

Short lessons by syllabus topic, and flashcards that come back just before you'd forget them.

Practice

Timed mock exams in the real format, and a readiness score that tells you when to book the exam.

Get coached

An AI tutor that guides your tastings, reviews your judging sheets and answers your questions.

Taste

Style tastings and off-flavour drills, step by step, compared against expert reference notes.

Your AI tutor

The mentor you don't have, whenever you need one.

Studying alone usually means no one to taste with, no one to check your scoresheets and no one to ask. The Foamscore tutor fills that gap.

Guided style tastings

Learn what to expect from each style before you pour. Then the tutor walks you through every step: look, smell, taste and mouthfeel, and how to judge body, carbonation and aromas.

Style tasting · Weissbier · Step 2 of 4
  1. Look Done
  2. 2 Smell In progress
  3. 3 Taste Pending
  4. 4 Mouthfeel Pending
TutorSwirl gently, then take short sniffs. A Weissbier should show banana and clove. Which do you notice first, and how strong is it?

Judging sheets

For BJCP® candidates

Filling out a scoresheet well is one of the hardest parts of the BJCP® exam. Write your notes and the tutor shows you what's missing, so your descriptions get clearer and more complete.

Scoresheet · Aroma7 / 12
Smells like banana.
TutorGood start. Say how strong each aroma is, cover malt and hops too, and judge it against the style: Moderate banana, low clove, light bready malt, no hop aroma. Appropriate for style.

Ask anything in the program

Stuck on a topic? Ask in your own words and get a clear answer, drawn from the course material, in English or Spanish.

Why is a weizen glass best for a Weissbier?
TutorIts tall body shows off the hazy colour and leaves room for the big, fluffy head, and the narrower top helps hold in the banana and clove aromas.

Monthly tutor credits are included with every program, and you can top up any time.
