    SO, when we write reviews, we grade based on appearance, smell, taste and mouthfeel. Give me the beer that represents each of these attributes the best in your opinion.

    Appearance - Weihenstephener Hefeweisen. To me, no beer looks better in a glass than a hefeweissen

    Smell - Aventinus Eisbock. This thing just smells wonderful. So much going on there

    Taste - St. Bernardus Abt 12. So satisfying, balance is the definition of this one, neither too sweet, too spicy, nor too dry

    Mouthfeel - Ayinger Celebrator. the beer has some heft to it, yet it is so silky smooth. I can't think of a beer with a better mouthfeel

    I can't take beer reviews seriously from a man who said things like "my rhymes be sega, like Genesis" and "the most beautifullest" .

    Appearance- Boulevard Unfiltered Wheat. It makes the room brighter
    Smell- Bitter Monk. Smells like nothing else and like everything all at once
    Taste- Toss up between the complexity of Bitter Monk or the decadence of Abyss.
    Feel- I have to admit that here I enjoy a nice lager on a hot day so it's going to be Session lager

    Also,

    Aroma: Renegade Brewing's coffee strong ale, Sunday Morning
    Flavor: C'mon, that's like picking your favorite child
    Mouthfeel: Rye pale ales, not any one in particular

    Appearance- Tree House Julius. Just look at that picture. (This may change when I open up my Backyard Rye
    Smell- Goose Island Bourbon County Coffee. The coffee, espresso smell with the sweet vanilla and oak of the bourbon and the roasted malts.
    Taste- Heady Topper, without a doubt. The balance, but the wave after wave of flavor.
    Feel- It's a tie between Great Lakes Elliot Ness and Samuel Adams Boston Lager.

    Probably going to go with a few toss-ups here, with representatives from different styles if appropriate:

    Appearance: Westmalle Tripel, PtE, Chimay Blue
    Smell: Heady Topper, Chimay Red
    Taste: Rochefort 10, PtE, BCBS
    Feel: Heady Topper, BCBS

    I really feel like a stout should be my tops in appearance, but I couldn't find one that I rated as a 5.0. Curious.

    (Honestly, I could put PtE in every category.)

    Gutes_Bier Maven (1,363) Jul 31, 2011 Germany

    Appearance: Orval in #properglassware
    Aroma: Westvleteren 12
    Taste: As someone said earlier, like picking your favorite child. Too numerous to list. I probably would have answered this with Uerige before tonight, but just having had that fresh Schlenkerla Eiche dopplebock....
    Mouthfeel: I never really know how to rate mouthfeel, but that Ayinger Ur-Weisse was like there was a party in my mouth, and everyone was invited.

    Honorable Mention in every category to Uerige Altbier, though. The Mary Poppins of beer - practically perfect in every way.

    Appearance would be Black Shirt Brewery, I second that. Blood of the Road, the Dunedin collaboration had amazing ruby red hues to it. All their beers display a magnificent spectrum of red.
