You forgot the hops which is where beer gets most of its flavor. Different hops have different bitterness measured in IBU. Throw in some really high IBU hops and you get a more "bitter" beer although not bitter like you might think. Barleys are also roasted at different levels measured in lavibonds giving you darker or lighter beers depending on how much you use. The combinations are many. Maybe we can have an off topic session at one of the Wispa shows and I can run a brewing class?
