How not to judge a beer!
I’ve never been one for entering beer competitions. I really don’t care if people I don’t know like my beer and on top of that, I generally don’t brew to BJCP style guidelines. Despite that, I did enter three beers into the Kitsap county fair. The following is one of my score sheets from the competition.
In the fields where I had perfect or near perfect scores, Brad was so kind as to write two words: “good clarity” and “med body” (med isn’t actually a word, its the abbreviation of a word, but I’ll let that slide). In the Aroma field, where Brad deducted nearly 60% of the possible points, Brad didn’t say anything.
Brad Ginn, I don’t know what your day job is, but I certainly hope you are better at it than you are at judging beer.
