6/17/2023 0 Comments Untapped beer applooking at reviews for our Vanillafort, it is amazing how divergent the experiences are. If you say there is a flavor in the beer everyone wants to taste it. ![]() So many of the top beers don't taste like "beer" they taste like maple, coconut, bourbon, chocolate, coffee, cherries etc. This is especially true in a small sample or in close proximity to other beers (e.g., tasting flight, bottle share, festival). Once you've tried a few hundred (or thousand) beers, it is difficult to get a "wow" response from malt, hops, and yeast. So what makes beers and breweries score well? It is a result of a collection of factors that are inherent to the sort of hedonistic rating system. I don't think the collective beer rater score aligns with what the average beer drinker enjoys the most or drinks regularly. ![]() Whether it is the BeerAvocate Top 100, Rate Beer's Top 50, and Untappd's Top Beers they all show a similar bias towards strong adjunct stouts, DIPAs, and fruited sours.
