REVIEW TO-STYLE!... it can always be done better, but the experience can sway things... I have my biases like anyone else: craving bitterness

With any at-home reviews of bottled/canned beer, I prefer cellar-temp preparations before opening and pouring into a properly-cleaned, often appropriate and/or brewery-suggested glass.

By rule, my reviews are geared to-style and generally progress in a sequence where I first examine sights and scents, followed by tastes and touch, noting and recording development in experience along the way - through-composed, stream-of-consciousness observations. They are also oriented more for personal recollection than public revelation.

For every 100th review, I'll examine a widely-available, mass-consumed lager, something shit, and/or something with which I've had a memorable history. Most recent: #1700: J.W. Lees Harvest Ale (port-barrel aged), #1750: O'Doul's Amber, #1800: Faxe 10% (Extra Strong), #1850: Four Peaks Kilt Lifter
