Changing Reviews and/or Ratings

Yes. If I haven't had something in awhile I'll look at how I rated it and adjust accordingly.

 

I've re-reviewed at least 10 times. When I joined BA, my palate was not as discerning as it is now. I've also had beers that were too old. A few of them were much better when I tried them within their sell-by dates.

 

Amazing how that stuff all changes, huh?

 

All the time. I noticed it's the beers I've rated really high on the first beers I liked when I got into craft beer. I usually lower them down a bit because I've simply had better beers.

 

Yeah, what he said. ^

 

Had a Hop Rod Rye a couple of years ago that must of been teetering on a few months old. I assume this because it was solid, nothing spectacular. Last week I revisited the same beer, only this time it was 11 days old... needless to say, my score for this beer increased.

 

I do if there is a significent difference in the drinking experience. I've lowered and raised my scores as needed. As an example, I raised the score on a Mikkeller Better Half I had this evening. It was a much fresher can and much better than what I had drank earlier.

 

I've deleted many a review, hoping to revisit these beers some time with my improved palate. and yes i do edit some

 

Everyone should that rates/reviews beers. Both beers and your tastes are constantly evolving. There are beers I've loved in the past that are just ok anymore and more importantly beers I've disliked previously but are really good and got scores that were lower then, than they are now.

Anytime I drink a beer I see what I've given it in the past and if that score is justified or I need to update it.

 

Not for me.

 

Yup I do occasionally.

 

Yes but i never lower the rating. If at one time i thought it was 4.5 and the next 3, it stays 4.5. Especially for beers only released once but rereviewed after cellaring.

 

Rarely, but I do. At the moment, actually, I am trying Habanero Sculpin out of a bottle. Vastly different than on-tap. Worthy of a re-rate.

 

Yes. Brewers tend to evolve recipes with resulting brews are completely different batch from batch. I typically re-rate or re-review those brews i notice a massive difference in.

 

Yes, I revisit some brew's.

Cheers!

 

My tastes change and beers do as well. I'll re-review, especially if it's been a while or I notice a big difference compared to what I thought before.

Not yet. I'm considering that for a few I rated early on that are way above or below the ratings deviation to see if I'm sticking to my opinion or if I was a bit more naive and crazy that day.

 

Yes, especially when I'm doing a side by side of a new beer and one previously rated.

 

This is one of the main reasons why beer ratings on any site can't be taken as seriously as they are. There are so many variables when trying beers from freshness, to what you've had to eat/drink earlier, if you have a cold/stuffy nose . . .

That said, yes I've gone back and adjusted. I completely recognize some of the beers I've rated were not a fresh as I had hoped they would be and would probably be rated higher if I had it fresh.
