    My personal scale is that I tend not to try beers that score below 80 on BA if I can avoid it. Having said that, I do try beers from time to time that I like. One such beer was this one: http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/10629/21260. I was able to get it fresh in Grand Rapids and actually enjoyed it. So, the title says it all - what's yours?

    Used to drink (and enjoy) Rolling Rock when is was brewed in Latrobe, PA (the version out of Newark by AB doesn't taste the same). Full of adjuncts of course, but I liked the slight diacetyl/skunkiness. Perhaps it was the ice-cold 7oz'ers after softball, those many moons ago.

    Not saying it's the greatest beer in the world and I haven't had it in years so I'm sure my opinion would be different but back about 10-15 years ago whenever i was in CO and everyone was drinking Fat Tire, Buffalo Gold and 90 Schilling I would take one of these any day of the week instead.

    In that case, I'm choosing Chocolate Rain. At only 4.47, I think it's underrated. Because that makes sense as a choice according to thread title, right?

    Shipyard Pumpkinhead Ale. There's just something about it that I dig, and look forward to every fall. Rated 68 by BA and 41 by the BROS.

    I think someone needs to explain to you the difference between poorly rated and underrated.

    Blue Moon Grand Cru
    http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/306/54083I managed to get two bottles at $5 a bottle instead of the typical $10 most places wanted. Still over priced, but quite tasty.

    And since I'm on the topic of Wit beers, Shocktop is pretty good.

    I randomly bought a 6 pack of this last year while camping and thought it was pretty good.

    Imperial. Comes in at a solid 66 on BA, but in the summer I think it is delicious and refreshing.

    Hated that beer. Could have had another 4 pack of FBS for $3 more. Live and learn.

    Enjoy

    This. It was one of the first pumpkin ales I ever had and I like it. I almost feel obligated to like it since it was part of my initiation of getting into craft beer. Prior to that, I never really cared for beer and stuck with Guinness and Bass Ale if I really felt like having a beer. I've come a long way.

    The Mission Amber score of 79 kind of surprises the hell out of me- one of the best domectically-brewed alts I've had.
