Quite a while

This should be the official highest rating of the clarity of a beer worldwide. I shall write a letter to the BJCP people demanding they adopt this. :lol:

27. Fergthebrewer - Oatmeal stout At first I thought this beer left quite a gritty feeling in your mouth and was maybe a little harsh with the dark malts. However, as I sat and thought about what I could taste and the beer got warmer, that gritty feeling went away and the dark malts softened...

28. MXD - Yarrasippi Pale ale It looks and smells the goods when pouring, nice and clear with a small head that quickly dissipates, but upon tasting, you can tell something has gone wrong somewhere along the line. There's a sourness that dominates this beer, I can't say I've tasted it before...

26. Wakkatoo - Black Betty Schwarzbier Very clean flavours here, and as someone else has said before, it's hard to believe a black beer like this could feel so light on the palate. Not a fault to be found. Good work.

25 - Don Mateo - Dunkelweizen I have no frame of reference for a dunkelweizen, so I don't know if this is a good example of one or not. So, I can only tell you about how I personally found it, and that was a bit rich. Lots of banana, as I would expect from a *weizen, and heaps of chocolate...

23. Wolfy - 1822 London Ale Maybe I'm getting older or maybe I don't need to drink to forget any more. Whichever it is, I'm not as interested in large volumes of alcohol as I used to be. This is why I thought this beer was great. It's probably the most interesting beer I've had, and I found...

*happy dance* *happy dance*

10. Brendo - Black Sheeps Riggwelter clone Not like anything I've had before, but I gotta say I enjoyed this beer immensely. Have you posted the recipe? I'm interested in what provides those flavours.

#24 Siborg - Amber Ale Another good beer. Nice and clear, massive rocky head indicates a little too much carbonation - but that's the only gripe about this beer. Top job, Siborg. Could quite happily sit and drink a few pints of this.

21. Haysie - Bohemian Pilsner Wow. I am blown away. This is a magnificent beer. Crystal clear, great flavours, great aromas, everything about this beer is right. I'd be pretty damn happy if I could turn out beer like this.

#20 - Cocko's APA Another really good beer. Clear as a bell, and a really interesting colour. As soon as I saw that deep deep colour I knew I'd enjoy this beer. Head retention wasn't its strong suit, but that's not a big deal. The only thing about this beer is it's too mild in its hop...

19 - Chris Taylor - English Brown I'm with Manticle on this beer, there is a burnt rubbery kinda vegetal flavour about this one. It looks the goods, and still has discernible toffee flavour - which I absolutely love, Baron's Black Wattle is a favourite and not because of the wattle - but...

15 - Hutch - Belgian Tripel This is a tripel? Every homebrewed tripel or strong Belgian I've tasted has had an extremely alcoholic flavour to it. This one is very smooth on the palate, has some great spiciness about it, and should come with a warning sticker. It would be too easy to hoe into...

18. mcook - American Pale Ale Yet another good beer from mcook, but finishes a little bit sweet. Maybe get the bittering up a bit and/or some late hop flavour.
