The Tasting Archives - Rankings of all beers evaluated by the Woodmoor Beer Appreciation Society
The table below lists from best to worst the beers evaluated by WBAS members during Society tastings. The list is current through the Belgia Ale tasting on 9 November 2009. The first ad hoc brown ale tasting conducted in 2000 was not included as the beers were not evaluated on the 50 point scale. You will notice that the last two columns show the range of scores each beer received during the evaluation. I have been reviewing scoring profiles for each member and it is clear that we have members that tend to be high and low scorers. Look for some statistical evaluation in the future and individual rating profiles.
