What's your most underrated beer?

Almost anything that employs subtlety, < 6% abv, and doesn't fatigue the palette after one or two.

 

Goodnight Bodacious, Shorts Brewery

 

Green Flash/St. Feuillien Friendship Brew--=I never understood how this beer was not rated as a world class offering. The bomber I had was aged, so maybe there was very little of that in the ratings?

 

Detour by Uinta always blows me away. Shocked to see it only gets an 85.

 

For me, so far, it's DieselPunk IPA. I thought it was very good, but not many seem to agree.

 

Based solely on my ratings, I thought Bell's Cherry Stout was underrated at an 80.

 

i really enjoy the cherry stout as well. not everyone enjoys the sourness of tart michigan cherries tho. i grew up on them and really enjoy this stout.

 

I think considering a beer underrated because you like it better than the masses is a bad standard. But there are some beers that I think get dinged based on who brews it. Saugautck Neapolitan Stout is an imperfect beer, but I think if it was Bell's Neapolitan Stout the ratings would be way better.There are also beers that do much better in blind tastings than in (not blind)ratings. I have seen this happen a couple times with Leinie's Big Eddy RIS.

 

Zywiec Porter, a classic Baltic Porter and it is highly underrated at 88%.

 

Kind of odd considering how crazy people go for sours these days.

 

Judging by my ratings deviations from the mean the answer would be Bud Light...

 

Their brewery is named after a queef.

 

Barrel of monkeys. not the best but had it side by side with other ba bwines and it stood its ground. better than cw bwine, but no where near that rating (granted it isnt the easist beer to find) but its cheap for what you get

their full boar scotch ale is also a gem that should be rated highly. luckily i find it on tap all over town, it is much better on tap

 

a few years ago we did a blind Imperial Stout tasting. The beer that came in 3rd place (of 11) was rated just a tiny fraction lower than Yeti and Expedition.

That beer was Sam Adams Imperial Stout, rated 86% here and 80% by the bros.

 

Samuel Adams Rebel IPA...not saying it's one of the best, but I like it a lot more than it's rating on here. Both, my buddy and I feel like if you would slap a different "more sought after" brewery's label on the bottle, it would get a much higher rating. Would love to see how this would fair in a blind taste test with other regular IPAs.

 

Karl Strauss 23rd Anniversary Bourbon Barrel Old Ale. Granted it is retired it only got a 90 and this is a solid 98-100. Best Karl Strauss beer ever and if you have any aging they are good to go now. Pure nectar.

 

It's still fairly new but Widmer Upheaval IPA. IMO if tasted blind or wrapped with someone else's label it'd be rated much higher

 

Wells Banana Bread has a 79 but i love it.

 

I don't think that was the intent.

 

I gotta go with Night Shift's Jojo Pink IPA here.

An 84 on this is just criminal...
