Revolution Barrel Aged Rise

What do you define as a 1/2/3/4/5 on the scale? I look at 3/5 as fully fungible middle of the pack beers. 0-2 reserved for practically undrinkable/infected/bad beers. 3-4 in the zone of stuff i'd drink/wouldnt drink again/has good characteristics but clear flaws and/or not particularly worth seeking out beers. 4-5 is the would drink again, get it at beinnys stuff. That's not to say my definitive scoring system is correct, but it's not to say pauls' assessment is crazy either in my mind. And we all know what I think is what matters most/at all.

 

Well, mediocre is close in meaning to outstanding

Rating Scale Words

• 1.00 - awful
• 2.00 - poor
• 3.00 - okay
• 4.00 - outstanding
• 5.00 - perfect

 

Speaking of their wine products (I know I'm in the minority) I was a big fan of pablo picasso.

 

I pretty much rate beer a 3 when "I'm glad I ticked it but wouldn't want a full pour for myself." where stuff between 3 and 4 are more like "That was alright, I probably won't seek it out, but if it's on tap somewhere I might try it again."

The rating words are rather arbitrary. Then again some parents are happy when their kids bring home a B-. It's all relative I suppose.

 

My original comment was because you said it wasn't very good, then gave it an 80%. I am a hip dude that rides a bike so I use that scale like pitchfork, if your giving something an 8/10, you better be drinking the equivalent of an early white stripes album or an early a place to bury strangers album. It appears you and many others (and its arbitrary so who's right, probably not me) rate everything in the modern everyone gets a trophy sense where the scale runs from b- all the way to a+. I went to school when kids who "weren't very good" got c's or as it could translate, a 3/5. Wow this post was a waste of everyone's time, sorry, I give this a 5.8/10.

Edit - please don't take this as negative, I'm just trying to see what others thoughts are, your opinions cool with me. Just trying to inject humor. I'm just a hard grader, like that mean teacher you had in third grade that gave you a D on your volcano science project.

 

I usually try to put zero emphasis on beer ratings, unless something is an extreme outlier, then I will try it out of spite to go against the judgement of the 'informed' masses. Or, when a lesser known beer that I absolutely love gets a well-deserved high rating and I feel a certain amount of vindication that I was slightly ahead of the curve. Both are cases supporting the aforementioned pitchfork analogy.

 

You guys.

Geez.
