PBN Beer Reviews

Our goal here is to objectively review beers to help you, the readers, find beers based on your likes and dislikes.  Our format will follow our BJCP scoresheets and will also have a bit of commentary on occasion.  Reviews will consider the following:

  • Appearance: color, head color, head retention, clarity
  • Aroma: Sweetness, hopiness, spiciness, tart, sour, off aromas
  • Taste: perception of malt, hops, yeast and water; finish of beer, lingering characters, off flavors
  • Mouthfeel: body of beer, carbonation level, alcohol warmth, etc
  • Overall Impression: a judges basic commentary on the beer, can be used to clarify earlier statements.

Something you'll find here and not everywhere else - Food and Beer Pairing Suggestions.  We're not providing recipes for you, that's your burden.  However, we think your overall beer drinking experience can be heightened with a good food pairing (likewise, the beer experience can be diminished with poor pairing).

We hope you find the reviews helpful.  If you have questions or comments, just email us and let us know.

- Rick
