National Beer Scoring System

From 1 January 2005 the Branch is now operating the National Beer Scoring System so could you please follow as described below.

If you score (as some of you do) in other branch areas then this should help as most branches are now following the same scale.

0  Undrinkable

No cask ale available or so poor you have to take it back or can't finish it.

1  Poor

Beer that is anything from barely drinkable to drinkable with considerable resentment.

2  Average

Competently kept, drinkable pint but doesn't inspire in any way, not worth moving to another pub but you drink the beer without really noticing.

 

3  Good

Good beer in good form. You may cancel plans to move to the next pub. You want to stay for another pint and may seek out the beer again.

4  Very Good

Excellent beer in excellent condition.

5  Perfect

Probably the best you are ever likely to find. A seasoned drinker will award this score very rarely.

Good tasting
Nick, Branch Secretary

Please Note that ½ scores may now be submitted (eg 3.5 for a beer you judge to be somewhere between a 3 and a 4)
