Possibly the worst beer review site ever

Apparently this guy dislikes most beer, but instead of attributing that to his reviews he just calls them crappy beers. :cross:

"BeerTripper



Anchor Steam Beer

Anchor Steam Beer is classified as a California Common and although it does taste different than Bud, Miller and Coors, I can't say as I like it any better. To my palate Anchor Steam Beer tastes bitter and a little dirty, and not in a good way."


You just have to remember, he likes the SUBTLE flavors, not the fruity ones!

funny funny site!

 

[JustDave]

Nice.

Rogue Dead Guy got a 1 ...

Miller Chill got a 2.

 

[Professor Frink]

I think he's just throwing darts and whatever number it hits, that's what the beer gets.

 

[Redweasel]

PBR got a 6!:rockin:

I'm giving this Vienna Lager a 5, but just barely. It is not bad at all, no off flavors to speak of. However, it is very 'light' on flavor. Too light for my taste. Light on the malt, light on the hops. I often like my beers subtle, but this one is a little too subtle.

Just not too subtle...

 

[eschatz]

Yes PBR did get a 6. But the Bastard got a 1 and Bud Light got a 4..... thats just cold. what a d!cK.

 

[Homercidal]

I'd like him to describe "dirty" (Both the good, and not good way).

 

[MrFebtober]

He gave 1554 an 8, surprisingly:
This is a Belgian Dark Ale, and I must admit, I feel guilty that I don't drink it more often. It has a very complex flavor, very unique, malty and some hop bitterness. But, sadly, I usually prefer something a little less complex.

Just not too subtle...

And he likes complex, but not too complex.

I guess Shiner kolsch got a 7 b/c it tastes just like BMC.

********.

 

[Displaced MassHole]

This guy seems like a pretty big ******. Anything other than BMC doesnt get the respect it deserves, oh well it's just his opinion anyways and you know what they say about those.

 

[MrFebtober]

alright, I looked up some of my favorite and least favorite beers on his list. Most the european brews I consider excellent, he also rated pretty high (both unibroues, Chimay Blue, Celebrator, etc.). Things are much more inconsistant with the domestic brew ratings though. Regardless, I just don't care for his justifications. So many of his ratings are based on personal taste preferences (too hoppy, too subtle, too complex) and not measured as examples of a given style. It stikes me that he's a bit new at this whole "beer" thing. He'll probably look back at these ratings in years to come and realize he may have spoke (posted) too soon.

 

[EdWort]

Nice.

Rogue Dead Guy got a 1 ...

Miller Chill got a 2.

I noticed that too. Add to that, subpar writing skills and you have a serious waste of time clicking through his poor tastes in beers.

 

[RICLARK]

He gave Sam Adams Black Lager a 10

 

[EdWort]

He would never qualify for EAC'ness.

 

[Donasay]

lunar page sucks.... these are not the droids you are looking for.

 

[Boerderij_Kabouter]

oh well it's just his opinion anyways and you know what they say about those.

That idiots should keep them to themselves?

So you're a funny guy ehh? Practice what you preach.....haha

 

[Milhouse]

Come on guys, give him a break, we all have our own tastes.

 

[findthefish]

It's great all the new traffic and publicity this guy is getting now thanks to this thread.

Classic stuff right there!

 

[Hopleaf]

A classic example of subjective vs objective opinion.

 

[Tenchiro]

My main fault with him is that he declares he doesn't like X quality, then when the beer has that quality he states it is not a good beer for that reason.

It is the "Dr it hurts when I do this!", "Then stop doing that." situation all over.

 

[Boerderij_Kabouter]

I actually looked at the site, and I don't think it is the worst. It is just some guys personal beer page. He can like what he wants. I thought this was going to be like a professional site or something after reading this thread.

That said, I think many of his reviews were pretty far off.

 

[GunnerMan]

I think his Fosters Lager review sums up his reviewing skills... Nothing on Fosters(never tasted them so havent a clue) but it was an interesting review nevertheless.

 

[BierMuncher]

I can't believe I gave this guy 90 seconds of my life to check out his lameass site.

 

[McKBrew]

It's really inconsistent. Beers that you would think he wouldn't like based on what he says he gives good ratings. I think this is a dude that doesn't have alot of experience in real tasting and doesn't compare beer to style guidelines.

To each his own. I'm not going to bash him too much.
