Entered a beer American Wheat or Rye. For 1st round NHC they provided a place, like they do for Specialty Beers, to provide information. There I put "25% Wheat and 25% Rye" because neither was dominate. Scored a 37 and advanced to the mini-BOS. (Prolly would have done better, if it were not for my love of hops. )
Entered the same beer in a local competition for some more feedback. Their form had no place for additional information only the subcategory where I wrote, American Wheat or Rye. Got this comment, "...you did not specify whether it was a rye or a wheat but labeled your bottle” American wheat or Rye"... which made it hard to be placed into the proper flight... a few of our judges thought it had a touch of rye.... is that right?", and it got a really bad score.
I thought that "American Wheat or Rye" was the subcategory. Never heard of dividing the wheat’s and rye’s into different flights. All of category 6 had a total of 28 beers, so I can't see there being too many in 6D and requiring flights. Is this a common practice?
Lesson learned. Next time I'll write it in on the border somewhere. :cross:
