We asked for an honest review, and that’s what we got from Aleheads. “If you’re an IPA drinker who loves a big, hoppy nose on your beer, the Sonic Foamer will help maintain that nose throughout a session. It’s gimmicky to be sure, but it’s a gimmick that makes your beer just a little better. And that’s all that matters to an Alehead.” Agreed. Many thanks to Brother...

Though Chuck Hahn may claim that Australians don’t like foam head on their beer, Zac Martin from Australian Brews News (and our sales reports) seem to say the opposite. According to Zac, “… it worked. Quite well actually. Repeated use continued to create more head on the beer, and each time it was surprisingly refreshing, as though it has been newly poured. Expectations the process might flatten the beer also proved not to be a problem. And somehow we managed not to blind ourselves...

Beer Search Party review The Foam is Sonic I have to admit that I was skeptical about the Sonic Foamer. I am wary of beer gear that promises an improved beer tasting experience. My radical enjoyment plan is to enjoy the beer. And getting the Sonic Foamer up and running did not help matters. First, it requires six AA batteries. My Apple mouse and keyboard need four between them. Anything over two should be given an electrical cord. End of story. The battery cover requires a screwdriver as well. The next design flaw is the on/off switch being on the bottom. Put it on the side people. Especially considering you have to put two teaspoons of water on the top. Which leads to the next issue. Now your glass is wet. I know this sounds petty and trivial but design is important. A light at the bottom does not eradicate other design flaws no matter how many colors it can become. After all of this mini-hassle, I put the shaker pint on the conducting plate with the water. I had two different beers for the experiment. A session IPA and a Festbier. Hoppy and malty. I smelled and tasted each before and after the hot foaming action. To my pleasant surprise, the Sonic Foamer worked. Each beer was noticeably more aromatic after a few button pushes. Watching the bubbles flow upward and new foam being created was quite cool. I would use it at the halfway mark of drinking to freshen up the beer in the glass. Since aroma is so important this tool helps to teach that lesson....

Sonic Foamer blasts bubbles into your beer for flavor The Sonic Foamer uses ultrasonic frequencies to shake up your beer, build the head, and boost the aroma. Crave tester Amanda Kooser downs a few extra beers for science. Generally, Americans are trained to pour their beers down the side of a glass, minimizing the foam. The makers of the Sonic Foamer, a bubble-inducing beer gadget, are on a mission to change all that. The device claims to improve the flavor of beer by boosting the aroma through the power of ultrasonic frequencies. The first thing I had to do before testing the $39.99 Sonic Foamer was get rid of my preconceived notions about avoiding a big head on a beer. I had to mentally embrace the foam. I then took the device over to the most expert beer taster I know: my home-brewing scientist brother. You might recognize the Sonic Foamer as a gadget that first emerged in Japan under the name Sonic Hour. The American version works just like its overseas counterpart. You place six AA batteries into the device and turn it on. Pour two teaspoons of water into the tray, set a glass on top, and push the button to unleash an ultrasonic frequency that creates an upward blast of bubbles resulting in instant foam on top of your beer. There are a few points to keep in mind. Be sure to use refrigerated beer and don’t fill the glass more than 60 percent full. Otherwise you could have some mopping up to do. There are already glasses on the market that produce a similar effect....

Don’t Lose Your Head A good foam collar on a beer isn’t just a pretty accessory, it helps lift aromas to your nose, which, in turn, amplify the flavors. (If you doubt the importance of aroma in beer, just try picking out flavors in food the next time you have a head cold.) To maximize head’s aroma-enhancing qualities, a Japanese company created a product that allows beer lovers to reinvigorate the foam so each sip is as delicious as the first. In Japan, it’s called Sonic Hour (a play on the Japanese word for foam, “awa,” pronounced like “hour”). Now, a US company, California Creations, has renamed it the Sonic Foamer. (Guinness Surger, a similar sonic beer foaming device, was introduced in the early 2000s but is no longer on the market.) “One of the keys to properly enjoying a good craft beer is to maximize the aroma,” says Rudy Flores of California Creations. “In a normally poured beer, the head dissipates after a short time. This eliminates much of the aroma. The Sonic Foamer allows a consumer to manage the head on their beer for the best beer drinking experience possible.” The Sonic Foamer uses sound waves to gently pulsate a pint of beer and coax the bubbles into a lovely head. To make it work, simply add a little water to the well, place a not-quite-full pint in the coaster-like holder, and turn it on. Press a button and watch the Sonic Foamer do its bubbly thing. In moments, your beer will have a head that rivals those in TV commercials. The whole experi- ence tends to...
