Almost everything on the wheel are off-flavors. Looks like a badly mis-informed wino's attempt to reproduce the equally useless, wine wheel, but without using most of the positive properties of beer.

I agree with Glibbidy. It's more for describing off flavors for bad brews.

I always just use the "look" on my friends' faces, It is way more accurate.

Then why put them in a f*ckin' wheel that suggests some sort of multilateral logic like complimentary colours, grrrr! Just make another damn list in straight line ffs!
