This guide explains the meaning of the scores tallied from
the "Rating the Finished Beer" sections of the beer recipe
pages. This rating scale is from one of my many home brew
books (probably Charlie Papazian's). The comments are my
own, of course.

Horse Piss Damn, this beer sucks. Pour it out, and if you can't do better next time, pick a new hobby. |
| 10-20 |
Swill The only person in the world who would drink this beer is Cliff. What does that tell you? |
| 20-30 |
Fair Beer Drinkable beer, but it could be much better. Identify areas for improvement and try again. |
| 30-38 |
Good Beer A good, average batch of beer. Nothing to be ashamed of. Reward yourself. Have one. |
| 39-45 |
Great Beer Remember this recipe, as you're definitely going to want to make this kind again! Cheers! |

Excellent Beer You should quit your high-paying job as a yuppie nerd and start your own micro-brewery. |
