Message t0rin0 P beers 102 º places 1528 º 15:55 Fri 4/10/2015 Originally posted by Ernesto987 "A Barrel Aged "Lambic Style" Sour Blonde." ITS NOT EVEN A LAMBIC! It’s like calling Blue Moon a Wit. Not quite the same but I get the point. I’ll defer to the other admins on whether or not to change the style.
Message bytemesis P beers 15365 º places 1601 º 16:36 Fri 4/10/2015 Originally posted by t0rin0 Originally posted by GT2 My understanding is that the brewery encourages people to rate their beer. So it isn’t spam technically At the risk of starting up this argument again, this is something I’d like to see all breweries do, even if it means we get a lot of homers rating their local beers. For every 10 or 20 local homers (whose one and done rating doesn’t count anyway) we might get a new active user rating the other local beers and places. +1. We should actually consider it a service as it is generating more users.

It’s like calling Blue Moon a Wit. Not quite the same but I get the point. I’ll defer to the other admins on whether or not to change the style. The Style definition on this site is LAMBIC-STYLE. Otherwise none of the non-Belgian examples could be called that. I am not an expert in whether it is in lambic style or not, but if it is, that should be good enough. And we DO call Blue moon a wit. http://www.ratebeer.com/beer/blue-moon-belgian-white-ale/2228/

Message obguthr beers 11728 º places 22 º 20:41 Fri 4/10/2015 There’s certainly some homerism going on, but the ratings from others (including Europeans) also seem to be full of praise. Maybe this beer really is good? ISO

Message MacBoost beers 2074 º places 37 º 20:48 Fri 4/10/2015 Niels and borken gave it a 2.9 so fuck this "lambic" and it’s hyper inflated rating.
