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.
