Detailed precision brewing and originality undeniable and unspoiled by even one mediocre quality. A brew which retains character from top of the tongue to bottom of the throat. Worth repeated drinking.

Top of its class (stout/ porter/ ale/ lager/ pilsner, etc.) Recommended to anyone who enjoys specific ‘type’ of brew. Quality brew which never flags in consistency but may lack only one specific quality under very close scrutiny.

Remarkable in at least one quality with no negatives against it.

One which will thrill those who enjoy its specific class but lacks one or more qualities.

Some aesthetic pleasure could be derived by those who aren’t particularly fussy.

Distinctions not cost effective.

Very little craftsmanship involved, if any.

Complete trash.
