finally got my scorecards back for the 2008 longshot contest
style 10B american amber
amature judge: scored me a 27
Aroma 6/12 clean, hint of fruit, little malt or hops
Apperance 2/3 white head a little high, amber very clear, little bead, good retention
Flavor 10/20 nice malt base with pleasant subdued hop bitterness balance, hop flavor missing
Mouthfeel 3/5 good full mouthfeel, carbonation too subdued
Overall impression 6/10 slightly off style ( hops low ) + minor flaws ( high head condition ) still a good beer
real judge: scored me a 29
Aroma 6/12 hops dominate cannot detect malt. as it warms faint malt noticable, hops disapate quickly
Apperance 2/3
Flavor 14/20 moderatley low frutiness ( not estery ) hops not noticable in flavor. hop character dissipated quickly
Mouthfeel 2/5 a little watery - smooth finish - not enough hop support or bitterness to properly balance for style
Overall impression 6/10 use more hops!
