    3.97, which seems about right, since I rarely dislike a beer, and tend to buy stuff I’m pretty sure I’ll enjoy!

    does that mean there are a lot of very highly rated retired beers?

    Or are highly rated beers rated more often? Some combination of these and other factors?

    4.09, but I tend to not review many mediocre or bad beers on here. My 3.6 average on untapped where I rate far more is a better metric in my case.

    3.78 As expected.

    Love this new feature.

    @Todd can we get these graphs for each style.

    I'm not saying it means anything. I just found it higher than I expected.

    Good idea, but not likely to happen any time soon.

    3.83. Thought it might be a touch higher. Mostly because I try to rate to style, not overall.

    3.5 on the nose, which was interesting because only 11 of my ratings had an exact score of 3.5.

    I do all my rating on UnTappd and currently the average is 3.74, but in the last few days I've been going back and working on double checking/fixing ratings (about 400 beers so far). I still have about 1,600 beers to go through with American IPAs (~150 & no NEIPAs), Saisons (~120), and Imperial Stouts (~85) being the largest categories.

    I and wondering about the difference between the average user rating at 4.03 and the average beer rating at 3.76.

    Mine is at 3.74 which is pretty much where I thought it would be. It is what I consider my 'adjusted average'*** beer rating of 3.75.

    *** 'Adjusted average' means the skew in the numbers caused by intentionally purchasing beers that I already know are above the defined mathematical average of 3.0.

    3.83. about what I thought it might be, though will probably rise as I seem to be drinking less "below average" beer now. Likely due to my education from this fine site. Like Mr. PapaGoose above, I think of 3.75 as being an average beer.

    How is the defined mathematical average 3.0? The last time I checked the average of all numbers from 0-5 is 2.5

    This site doesn't have any rating below one, so two numbers (1,2) are below 3 and two numbers (4,5) are above 3.

    3.77 sounds about right. Some of my early deviations were all over the place. I’m about retired from formal ratings though I don’t enjoy it all that much.

    3.42 here, and that is much higher than I thought it would be.

    3.71.....not surprised.......I’m pretty harsh in what I like and don’t. Many of my beers are under the average score and I need to really like a beer to go over a 4.

    Cool stats.....thanks for linking to them.

    Enjoy
