Results have come back on the three homebrew competition entries placed in the Minnesota State Fair. While none of them received a ribbon, I am really happy with the scores they received. All three placed in the “Excellent” category! Cheers! Honey of an Amber Ale: Score 39.5 9:36 Sunset Wheat: 40 Sunday Morning Coming Down Stout: 40.5 Category Breakdown Outstanding (45-50) – A world class example of the style. A beer with great character and no flaws. Excellent (38-44) – Beers in this range may have no flaws but may be missing the intangibles for a world class beer. Very Good (30-37) – Beers in this range may have a minor flaw (technical or stylistic), or may be lacking in balance or complexity. Good (21-29) – A satisfactory beer that generally fits the style parameters. Scores near the upper end of this range may have only a few minor flaws or be slightly out of style and also may be lacking in balance or complexity. Scores near the lower end of this range tend to have more flaws and are likely to have stylistic inconsistencies as well. Fair (14-20) – This beer has its share of problems that may include missing the style parameters, off flavors and aromas, balance problems, contamination, or other major flaws. Scores near the lower end of this range exhibit more major flaws. Problematic (0-13) – A beer with a major problem (usually contamination) that overwhelms all other flavors and aromas. Often barely palatable.
