Exceptional Optics

[Stu McKinlay]

The 5/5 appearance joke has pretty much run its course but I want to get the last of it out of you all.

Forget about how good a beer smells or tastes for a moment. What beer deserves 5/5 for appearance and why? It can be anything, or a combination of things... A great bottle or tap badge (or iPod), a raunchy label, it pours perfectly, it has a head that stands up out of the glass and never fades... Post some pics and wax lyrical.

Praise or condemn the beer if you must but all I really want to hear is what looks hot (and, because we can't ale-ways be positive, what looks like rot).

Homebrew yeasty tang maybe? who knows?

[Reviled]

I think its just a term that people hide behind when they dont know how to explain flavour :oP lol

[Kempicus]

Yeah i dunno what that guy or girl is on....PKB didn't taste homebrewish to me and i've tasted a lot of bad homebrew!

[Greig McGill]

Yeah, sorry about that! ;)

[Kempicus]

Now there's a nutpea impressed by Yeastie Boys exceptional optics (or the fact that Sam and I are such likable chaps):

I might need to stop looking... or else I'll get paranoid in pubs ;-)


If anyone is reading this and is forking with ratebeer - i'm sure you are not the only one but please don't do it (for your own sake as much as the people who use it on a regular basis). It's about as cool as spam.

Nice ratings....not a fan of export 33 though i see! I wonder if it's brewer checks ratebeer....best not to i guess!!!
i'm surprised he/she can get the damn thing to work....i'm thinking of changing to beeradvocate....or is that like a liverpool fan saying they're going to support everton? ;0)

[Stu McKinlay]

Liverpool fans quite like Everton. They're like our little brother with special needs.

should have gone with my first instinct .....rangers, celtic.....now there's a rivalry....thought it might be a wee bit obscure
