Dr FF,

Well, you can't argue with that medal haul. I'll have to give it a try sometime soon!

Jab - Well, this thread seems mainly to be people talking about their favourite beers rather than actually reviewing them. Perhaps I should have elaborated on what I meant by a review. An actual review of a beer would consist of doing a tasting, then jotting down thoughts, however negative or positive they may be. You can't really do a proper review of a beer you tasted 6 months ago beacuase of all the factors involved - how much had you drunk already - had you just been eating spicy food - were you already in high spirits because of the people you were with, etc, etc.

So, ideally the review should be accompanied by a photo of the bottle and be written as the beer is being drunk, or as soon as possible after. Possibly the best reviews would be of beers people hadn't tried before, so reviews would be a lot more objective.
