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.

Victory Whirlwind Witbier

I was introduced to Victory about 2 months ago.  I tried their V-12 which is their high alcohol, high flavor, quadruppel.  Now I'm hooked to their beers.  Wanted something light and this was it.

Look/Pour/Smell - Yellow lemon look, carbonation is their but it's an easy pour.  Malt and lemon dominate.  Unfiltered so there's sediment.

Taste - Lemon and spice, light flavor, lemon after taste.  Malt is subdued.  Refreshing.

Rating - 7
This one gets a 7 because of the price range it's in.  It dominates the other beers in this range and category.  It's not the best wheat I've had overall, but it's great for a starter.  Let your friends try it.

Blue Moon Grand Cru Special Edition


How do you like the pic?

So Blue Moon was my first "non-massed produced American beer."

Great wheatey, orange smell.  Softer head that falls a little faster.

This beer is what I first tasted when I had regular Blue Moon.  It's what got me away from American Pilsners.

Great wheat taste, great orange.  Like Blue Moon X2.  The taste you really want.

Rating = 7  I won't give it an 8 because I only wish this was the taste of regular Blue Moon, but great flavor, great beer.
