No it was a legitimate site about beer types with info about various (decent) beers and styles. Much better than the ridiculous introductory paragraph above would suggest actually and a simple 'beginners, check out my blog on various beers' would have been better than making blindingly idiotic statements about the beer tricoleur (including hazy), alc content and its relationship to colour and the other oddly worded rubbish.

Main thing about the site is that the 'reviews' are actually just commercial blurbs about the beer, usually written by the breweries' marketing themselves. The good thing about it though is that it covers a wide range of interesting beers (westamalle, meantime, st bernardus, fullers and many, many more) and is quite easy to navigate so it serves its function. Anyone actually interested in beer and expanding their palate could get something out of it.

The opening post does the site an injustice.
 
I clicked it when he first started posting. The site is fine from a security point of view. It is a real dude, not a bot.

I clicked the link as well, and was surprised to find it coherent too. Given the knowledge shared in the OP I was expecting some bot magic touting hazy coloured ViAgRA tablets which has many vitamins, minerals and healthy plants constituents that are good for our body that should be considered not just merely for parties and events. :D
 
Hi,

I'm not really the owner of the site that is in the article. I admit that I'm not a native english speaker that's why I have some mistakes. If you have a better version of article like that can you please share it here.

Fair enough about English not being your first language. I figured that was the case.

The issue I had with your opening paragraph was more about inaccuracy and error.

You suggest pale beers are lower alcohol than dark beers but this is simply not the case. Consider AIPAs, IPAs, tripels, barleywines, some abbey beers and Belgian Golden Strong styles and compare to some milds and mids, some stouts (like guiness at 4 point something percent). Compare a chimay white to a chimay red.

As mentioned the beer reviews are not by beer experts but are commercial blurbs. There is nothing wrong with this - those blurbs are good snippets of information about the beers and handy for anyone interested in the beer and the beers themselves are diverse, interesting and not megabrewery products. It just looks dodgy when it's described as beer expert reviews rather than what it is and there's no need to hide what it actually is.

Beer has many more colours than three and hazy is not a colour (neither is dark or pale). Beer can be black, brown, red, copper, mahogany, straw, amber, gold, white and even green on St Patrick's Day.

The fact you've made an effort to explain and express yourself in response shows you're not a spambot and have a genuine interest in beer which is appreciated here.
 
Hi,

I'm just really starting to learn more about beers and I appreciate a lot those information you've given. I haven't seen those information on the articles that I've read. It is a great opportunity to learn very important information from you. Thanks a lot.

I must say that this place is really great for beginners like me.

:D
