Appearance, smell, taste and mouth feel?
I do, I just don’t call it that. Remember that this site was developed with the amateur in mind. This isn’t a professional beer drinker’s site. If you’ll notice most all the ratings touch on each. If they do not, that’s ok. This site is to give you an idea on what to expect from different beers. I do however go one step further and give a rating on the history. The longer they’ve been in business the higher the rating. One should expect a superior product the longer a company has been around. However, this is not always the case. The history rating is of little importance when it comes to judging the actual beer. It’s more of a “fun” type rating. Also too remember that you are no different than an expert! You are able to see and taste just like they do.
