Message puzzl beers 3258 º places 138 º 21:23 Sat 9/19/2009 Originally posted by TampaBrew Originally posted by satan165 ouch on the batch 2 ratings one of the best beers ive had in 6 months No joke! Not trying to flame ratings, but that 3.1 rating scores Capricho #2 and Yuengling Black & Tan the same Are you seriously complaining that people are rating beer you enjoy too low? People come here to freely post opinions on beers they drink, and they shouldn’t have to fear public backlash because they rate a "well-regarded" beer low. Those are the exact reasons scores on so many beers are inflated anyway: people are afraid to rate them low because of this kind of crap.

Nothing bad (besides the saison, which was undrinkable), but they just aren’t the masterful creations I was expecting. I haven’t had any of the heavy hitters yet, but with the way the ratings are for even the normal stuff (Bolita, Jai Alai, etc) I was expecting Alesmith levels of quality, and I found them more on the level of Stone.

I could care less what someone else rates a beer. I was simply participating in conversation on a forum. No backlash, just a little surprise. No offense to he rate that I referred to. I figured he voiced and said he did like the Yuengling better. All good an I will leave it at that.
