Update: I got my scoresheets back. And apparently, the right call was to enter this as a Fruit beer.

Quick review: I brewed a Raspberry Saison and was wondering whether I should enter it as a Belgian or a Fruit Beer. I wound up entering it as both, and it scored OK in both, but better in the Fruit category. 31.5 as a Belgian, 34.5 as Fruit. Got some useful feedback on it, though.

I plan to write a post with comments about all of the 5 beers I entered, and will link it here when I have the time to type it up. There were some items that would be of interest to the Borg, I think.

Thanks again to all who offered feedback along the way!

Congrats CC!

I like to think anything above 30 is a good score!

Well played!

Well done! I agree that anything in the 30s or above is a good score. Heck, I scored a 32 in my category and got a ribbon.

I eagerly anticipate your more detailed post. Stuff like this is pure gold, and you're to be commended for sharing it.

Congratulations. :fedora:
