Message Jack9 13:27 Tue 9/25/2012 Is there something that explains the beer ratings? They just don’t seem to make sense to me. For example: http://www.ratebeer.com/beer/miller-lite/403/ How can this be a 0 overall rating when all ratings are above this? And a rating from that page: 2.1 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20 Hathachips (4) - - SEP 1, 2012 does not count [click to see why this rating of Miller Lite does not count] Great beer when you want to drink all damn day. Light, refreshing and affordable. Yum yum What is the 2.1 and does it relate to the "AROMA, APPEARANCE, TASTE, PALATE, OVERALL"? How can you get 2.1 from those #’s? And how do you even get an OVERALL 10/20 from the AROMA, APPEARANCE, TASTE, and PALATE numbers? BTW, if he likes it, why do the ratings appear to be low? Another example: http://www.ratebeer.com/beer/bud-light/474/ How can this be n/a overall?

For example: http://www.ratebeer.com/beer/miller-lite/403/ How can this be a 0 overall rating when all ratings are above this? 0 is a percentile: the beer is better than 0% of the beers on the site; hover on the number and it will reveal the exact percentile number (0.147%) Originally posted by Jack9 And a rating from that page: 2.1 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20 Hathachips (4) - - SEP 1, 2012 does not count [click to see why this rating of Miller Lite does not count] Great beer when you want to drink all damn day.

And how do you even get an OVERALL 10/20 from the AROMA, APPEARANCE, TASTE, and PALATE numbers? BTW, if he likes it, why do the ratings appear to be low? look at the 5 marks given by the user, 2+2+5+2+10=21, then converted in 2.1 Overall=10/20 is a user’s choice, not a system calculation; he could give 20/20 if he likes; of course it wouldn’t make sense to give 20 to a beer after giving 1 and 1 for aroma and flavor... Again, it’s user’s freedom to spend sweet words and hard numbers or viceversa. Originally posted by Jack9 Another example: http://www.ratebeer.com/beer/bud-light/474/ How can this be n/a overall? I guess that this one has a percentile of 0.000, and the system displays as n/a, but I’m not sure
