Feature Beer Friday is a cross-over between the BR Beer Scene in conjunction with the Raise A Glass radio show that I co-host.
Throughout season 5 of the show and into the future we will feature
episodes where we bring a handful of beers to the table and have a
roundtable discussion / critique of the beers while also rating them on a
1-100 scale.
This isn't an old-school gymnastics scoring though where everyone is between 9-10, or 90-100 in this case. A 50 should be considered a mediocre beer and anything in the 90 or above range is world class. Basically 0-20 is a failure, 21-40 is a poor beer, 41-60 is a mediocre brew, 61-80 is getting good, and 81-100 is an "A" effort.
The scoring includes 4 categories, each weighted appropriately. Appearance is worth a total of 15 points, aroma is worth 25, taste is worth 40, and mouthfeel/finish is worth 20. We all have our differing opinions on beer, so I'll present the group average, as well as my ratings for each brew.
