My grading scale

It is subjective, but I think you'll be able to understand where I'm coming from:

1-3 "Horrible" : NEVER BUY THIS!!!! (Or buy it just to see what crappy beer tastes like.)

4-5 "Ok" : These beers need a little work. Usually from a company known for another type of brew.

6-7 "Good": It's ok, for now.

8-9 "Great" : Try this at least once, you'll be happy you did :D

10!!!!! "Godly" = This is attainable, but the most subjective of all grades. If I ever give a beer a 10 it'll be because it blows your mind.

Sweetwater 420

They had a promotion for this where if you bought their product you would get two free pint glasses which is a good deal.  This is a semi-local beer brewed in Atlanta, GA.  This is their IPA version.

Pour, Look, Smell - Pours easy with medium head, clear golden yellow.  Good smell of hops, not overpowering.

Taste - Light to medium hops with medium body and malt.  The hops stand out in the aftertaste.

Rating - 5
This one is a par/sub-par IPA, there are better choices out there.

Flensburger Weizen

This was one I picked up while looking for a gift for a friend's 21st b-day.  I can't pass up a Weiz from anyone.

Look and Pour - Standard wheat with a light frothy but semi strong head, good smell w/ malt and small hops.

Taste - Great wheat taste wins over.  Hope are after.  This is a good warm day beer.

Rating - 6
Nothing against it, just a little boring in my mind.  It's also a classic, so don't pass iit up.
