Pearl or Only Non-Hulled?
According to Barley, barley water is always made from unhulled barley, whereas this page suggests that pearl is the preferred. I could see pearl having become the default for home or modern production as it is more easily procured than unhulled, but does anyone know the facts? Czrisher (talk) 16:12, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

Smell?
Does it actually smell? If so, of what? Maikel (talk) 12:04, 1 June 2010 (UTC)

Organoleptic contribution
The straight barley liquid has a very subtle flavor. Lemon barley water (home made or store-bought) is indistinguishable from lemonade without barley. What is the barley supposed to be adding? Is it nutrition from the starch? Thickening the liquid from the pentosans? I am mystified and have not found the answer in barley-water historical accounts. Phytism (talk) 14:29, 24 October 2010 (UTC)
