Hello, beer lover. Since October 2010 I have used a more commonly known rating system (so called 50 point system) but I've left the old system ratings (0-5 scale) as they are until I've re-tasted them in the future. My favourite beers are from UK, Finland and Belgium but also other brewing nations are excellent (like USA or Norway). Please, do not take the ratings too seriously because you can think differently about them. Slainte mhath. 9 May 2012 =    beers rated |

MY WAY OF RATING BEERS: (see detailed descriptions from "beer tasting form" below) Aroma (1-10 points) Appearance (1-5 points) Flavour and finish (1-10 points) Palate (1-5 points) 
Overall score (1-20 points)What those points then mean: 05 - 19 = Poor or otherwise not suitable for my taste (a.k.a. crap) 20 - 24 = Nice but doesn't give any kind of shivers (a.k.a. boring) 25 - 29 = Quite good but still a mediocre beer (a.k.a. the food beer) 30 - 34 = Good and tasty beer (a.k.a. the evening starter) 35 - 39 = Very good and very pleasant beer (a.k.a. the money well spent) 40 - 44 = Excellent beer (a.k.a. the price doesn't matter) 45 - 50 = Just brilliant, top quality purchase. (a.k.a. the large portion, Yes!). These might be introduced with a poem or few lines from a classic book. • Beer tasting form (print and enjoy)  P.S. Try to support the Finnish small and independent breweries and buy their products. Try to avoid big bulk breweries. It was a very poor decision by Sinebrychoff to shut down Pori Brewery (the original home of Karhu) which was the oldest brewery in Nordic countries that stood on its original place. Shame on you!! Like CAMRA in Britain, we should be having SPY (Suomalaisten Pienpanimoiden Ystävät). In English that would be something like HOMBRE (Homage to the Finnish Microbreweries). Hope we will see more and more microbreweries in Finland in the future. Suomalaisten Pienpanimoiden Ystävät (SPY) at  Beer links -> see MISC. and there "Whisky etc. links". |
