I doubt I'll find anything much better than 96/100. But who knows.<br />Keep this up. it looks goodTimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11813976029801288060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4122316713257516908.post-844287152897736032011-11-22T19:19:49.123-05:002011-11-22T19:19:49.123-05:00I do suppose you're right though.

It felt slick. Also there was some lingering harsh dryness that I believe to be an off-flavor/ not from the hops (astringency?).<br /><br />I find that as I go, I will be rating them based on comparison. For instance, I do believe Long Trail to be an outstanding beer, and it is one of the best Vermont has to offer. On the other hand the Otter Creek Copper Ale was also extremely delicious but I felt lacked certain characteristics that Long trail had (for the same style). Therefore I just ranked it lower than Long Trail.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01539102777878423474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4122316713257516908.post-59610331585602156962011-11-22T19:06:37.106-05:002011-11-22T19:06:37.106-05:00Diacetyl and still a 44/50?

According to BJCP, 44 is borderline World-class.<br />-Outstanding (45-50) World class<br />-Excellent (38-44) Exemplifies style<br />-Very good (30-37) Generally w/in style parameters<br />-Good (21-29) Misses the mark with only minor flaws<br />-Fair (14-20) Off flavors<br />-Problematic (0-13) <br /><br />It's easy to give high scores in the beginning (unless you are going more towards simply a personal rating system (if so, you should define it on the homepage)) <br /><br />Hope this helps!Timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11813976029801288060noreply@blogger.com
