Last night, I had my first Chimay Tripel (white). Great beer, loved it!
However, it struck me that this beer seemed extremely similar to Leffe Blonde. If I were to pay attention to beer review sites, I would understand that the Chimay is an outstanding beer, while the Leffe is average at best. This baffles me, as the two beers were (to my unrefined palate) so close as to be tough to tell apart once poured into glasses.
I started this as a post, but it got so long, I decided to do a blog entry on it: Beer Quality Versus Perception.
Feel free to tell me why I am wrong - I'd really like to know why.
