Counting down to the first pour…
How it works
- TasteGrab the numbered pour and give it a proper go — nose it first.
- ScoreBody, Taste, Smell and Color, 1 to 5 each. Twenty seconds a beer.
- CrownPick your personal top three. Nobody sees a thing until the reveal.
How scoring works
Four categories, equally weighted, 1–5 each:
- Body mouthfeel
- Taste flavour
- Smell aroma
- Color appearance
That gives every beer a total out of 20 — and because four ones still add up to four, the honest floor is 4, not 0.
| Score | What it means |
|---|---|
| 19–20 | World class. You'd drive to get more. |
| 17–18 | Excellent. Buy it again. |
| 14–16 | Very good. Minor flaws. |
| 11–13 | Good. Noticeable problems. |
| 8–10 | Drinkable. But you're not finishing it. |
| 4–7 | Problem beer. Pour it out. |
The winner is the beer with the best average once every score is weighed against how many people actually poured it — so a single rave from one enthusiast can’t steal the night. Your top-three picks are counted separately, as the People’s Choice.
