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.

Rio Blanco Pale Ale by the Real Ale Brewing Company

A not-so-pale pale ale from RABC. Again this, like the Brewhouse Brown is part of a sampler 6-pack for under 7 bucks!

Poured a prominent white 1in. head that settled moderately, leaving a nice lacing on the glass. Carbonation was immediate, yet not overwhelming.

Color was golden, almost amber with good clarity.

Smell was first that of malt with an immediate hops tones following.

Taste was a decent balance of hops to malt without the expected bitterness from the Hoppy nose that I noted above.

Balanced. Light, easy to drink. Good.
