But the Belgians further complicate matters by designing beers whose individual character may be best suited to any one of the number of courses that comprise a fine dining experience at dinner. I've certainly enjoyed a six course meal in the Ardennes during which a different beer was served with each course in addition to a beer aperitif and a further couple of small ones before departing to bed! We may, therefore, suppose that S/N ratios might depend on the number of samples, their frequency and relative signal strengths. The condition of the observer should,probably, also be taken into account! 73 On Thu, 2009-12-03 at 23:03 +0100, Alberto di Bene wrote: > Rik Strobbe wrote: > > Roelof, > > > > I cannot agree, a Belgian beer can will provide at least 10dB better SNR ;-) > > I tend to agree with Rik, the best beers I ever drank were those in La Grande Place > in Bruxelles, many years ago, when I was there for QRL. > I remember a three-story building facing directly the Place, where you could taste > all kind of Trappiste beers...
