    Hello,

    I'm new here, so sorry for what is probably a simple question. What is the rDev rating? I tried to find an explanation on the site and couldn't. I tried a search engine search and couldn't figure it out. Thanks!

    Your review will have an rDev, while the beer will have a pDev, so you can compare the two if you like. I always looked at it as though the pDev is the point where a standard deviation would be, so if you're within that range you're still with most of the reviewers.
