    What are your highest/lowest rDev's? I always find it interesting to see what contrasts there are between personal tastes and averaged ratings.

    My highest rDev is +25.3% for Tipopils by Birrificio Italiano, and my lowest rDev is -78.5% for Founders CBS. I find it strange Tipopils isn't rated higher, it's really one of the finest beers made. The bottle of CBS I had I think was infected/oxidized or something, because it was just all wrong.

    Highest is JW Lees Scorcher at 37%. Although it only has 2 reviews and I gave it a 3.

    Lowest is Montejo at -48.3 which I found was the worst of a bunch of different beers I tried when I was in Mexico a few years ago.

    It is very difficult to produce an extremely light adjunct lager with essentially zero QC issues and drink-ability akin to warm water. I can understand why you'd rate it highly. Black Tuesday at -47.5% is strange to me though, as that is essentially a well produced extremely high ABV stout. Even if you don't care for the style, to say it's a poor example of a big stout is strange.

    I didn't even rate the bud select highly, I gave it a 2.5. The black tuesday was a terrible beer, it is a hot boozy mess with more burn than a decent bourbon and I stand by my evaluation of it.

    Highest is a house brewed Gose at the Bobcat Cafe in Bristol (+21.7%), which is actually a beer I added to the site.
    Lowest is Insanity (-37.1%). I'd like to try it again to see how my palate tolerates it now, but I can't stand the idea of spending money on it.

    Highest: +66.7% for Fischer's "Desperados." I thought it was a sound execution of a tequila beer, and I re-reviewed multiple times to make sure I was reviewing accurately.

    Lowest: -67.9% for Strange Brewing's "Paint It Black" milk stout. Looking at my review, apparently it was "shittastic."
