Beer colours in EBC color method

Beers by color and weight


The government founded Finnish alcohol store Alko, has recently updated their website, to a more easily crawlable form. Thank you Solita for doing this. The website now uses AngularJS among other things.
Alko has done a good job of measuring the color (EBC) and weight (Plato) of their on-shelf beers, about 540 of them! EBC value is measured using spectrophotometer, which is why they have been able to measure values more accurately and outside of the visual EBC scale. Dark beers may all look black but in fact have very different colours.

Here is a scatter plot by weight versus colour. The Alko product page can give you more info of the beer, by clicking the datapoint.
