Its a bunch of beer snobs pretending they taste all these distinct notes and flavors that couldnt possibly be in the beer.

one bitch poste this : "12 oz. bottle poured into tulip
(9/24/15 born-on date ... drank today 11/16/15)

L: brilliantly clear amber-orange, so perfect it's hard to stop staring at; strong percolation into a full 1-inch head of white/off-white foam with classic Sierra Nevada sticking and lacing; keeps a soapy-foam collar with big bubbles, slight skin ... what a beer should look like (I did not pour in the final half ounce or so, keeping any sediment/bottle-conditioning paraphenlia out of the glass -- glad I did!)

S: mango-caramel sweet; floral hops around the sweet, some pine, but it's hard to pull it out of all that sweet

T: bitter hops up front, candied hops on finish ... still bitter but there's some major sweetening out; bread malt peeks in, and it's the real thing ... not a mix of hops and malt turned into the mango/caramel flavor but a distinct breadiness, pilsener-style bread malt; lots of pine in the bitter bite; cracker even on back end -- this malt is something else; grain

F: light but decent carbonation

O: the grainy/cracker malt backbone is fantastic ... almost two months old and the hops are having no trouble showing through in the flavor -- the bitter bite is nice, floral, slightly piney; the nose is standard-issue caramel/mango, way too sweet, possibly a victim of age, though the overall quality of this brew proves you don't have to be right out of the vat to be a good American IPA. this one definitely belongs in my hops rotation when I play "who's freshest" with the American pales/IPAs/DIPAs in the beer aisle.
"

what the gently caress oes that even mean its a go drat beer it tastes like beer not pine or mango caramel which isnt even an actual flavor if ytou combine mango an caramel i guarantee you it woul not taste goodd

You can taste certain things if you've had a metric rear end gently caress ton of different types of beers, but never the stupid goddamn poo poo some people say. What the gently caress is a candied hop? I mean really, what the gently caress? Also, anyone who spends a paragraph describing appearance, the single easiest thing to get right in even the shittiest of beers, is a loving retard.

I think the whole 'notes' bullshit is a way of saying how the beer tastes by saying that it reminds them of how other things taste. We don't really have a lot of nuanced words to describe tastes and smells like we do for sounds or colors or textures. For example, try to describe the different ways a fart can smell without just saying that the fart smells like something else. For all of these beers and all of these farts, the only way to really get an impression across is to invoke previous tastes, smells, or farts that readers have experienced.

ok i've gone back and read the rest of the post and i now would like to know who the gently caress is going to be familiar with the taste of pine

you've either been eating pine needles or pine-sol and neither of those are for eating

I think beer advocate is racist. Tecate, Modelo Especial, and Sol have terrible ratings but Pabst Blue Ribbon is good? Site is probably run by white frat boys imo. They should all be mediocre.

how do they even justify this

the entire point of drinking PBR was that it was done ironically

this snake is loving eating itself and i dont understand anything anymore

Beer advocate is poo poo. So are beer afficionados. They're the reason every brewery makes three different IPAs.

The only reason to check beer online is for the ABV. Otherwise, use your judgement. You're a big boy now and you don't need websites telling you what kind of ale to wash the ground chuck out of your gullet with.

Goons should try brushing their mouth, their whole mouth, not just your teeth.

It is amazing what things taste like when there isn't a semi-sentient half inch of decaying sludge coating every square nanometer of your mouth.
