    Median rating: 4.14
    Median rDev: +4.1%
    Median beer: Freak of Nature DIPA
    # of beers: 893

    But I only tick "Top, Top New or Classic" beers on BA per their lists, so it'll naturally be higher - not every beer I drink, that's what Untappd is for :stuck_out_tongue:

    This is interesting to me as a new BA (just over 20 beers rated so far). One of my early impressions has been that the BA ratings seem a bit high overall. As a teacher I tend to think of it the same as grade inflation... and I am not an easy grader in my classes, but I am a fair one. Also, I have had lots of beers in my life - I'm new to BA but not to beer - and I tend to avoid stuff that I would be likely to give a low rating (i.e. I drink more of what I like, duh, but also am glad to try something new). With that in mind... my median is 3.52.

    Thanks for this. But, since I clearly fall into the "Drunken Dummies With No Tech Or Math Skillz" category, I'ma just let some bored math dude/dudette handle this for me. :wink:

    Hmm WTF did you do this. Now I know I am too easy. Call me a male **** 4.0. Or maybe I am just a discerning drinker.

    I don't think median ratings have any great statistical significance, most of us pick beers we are confident will be above average anyway.

    Looks like 4.15. What a nice guy.

    That said though my rated beers on here (197) is not a full/current list, I bet if I pulled stats from untappd it would trend a bit lower.

    4.08 for me. I think I tended to rate beers higher when I was new to BA for some reason (probably ignorance) so that probably skewed the overall result

    4.03 for Racer X, but as said above, I generally don't drink beers that I don't expect to be good, and I don't think putting a review for Miller Lite, et al, is even worth my time.

    3.75 for 1589 beers.

    Too high in my opinion. Assuming 3.0 is average.

    This..

    Probably 3.7 or 3.8. Too much nerdling science for some of us.
