Wolfseye Eval #2

October 26.

Wolfseye Members: Quade, Heath, Mulvenon, Pritchard
Evaluation: Which Wolfseye Brew is the best (the age old question)?

Eval #2 - Batches 1-23

Criteria: Each member was asked to compile a list of the five best Wolfseye brews. The batches were then assigned points based on their appearance on these lists (5 pts for top of the list, 1 pt for bottom).

Winners:
#19 Rene Magritte's Surreal Saison (tops on two ballots)
#17 Otto von Bismark's Blood and Iron Double Marzen
#5 Rikki Tikki Tavi India Pale Ale (tie)
#10 Old Bolshie Amber Ale (tie)

Scores:
#19 Rene Magritte's Surreal Saison -- 12 pts
#17 Otto von Bismark's Blood and Iron Double Marzen -- 9 pts
#5 Rikki Tikki Tavi India Pale Ale -- 8 pts
#10 Old Bolshie Amber Ale -- 8 pts
#20 Tsar Nicholas II's Russian Imperial Stout -- 6 pts
#12 Groundskeeper Willie's Wee Heavy -- 5 pts
#14 Marquis de Sade's Old Speckled Cock -- 4 pts
#21 Ambiorix Triumphant Witbier -- 4 pts
#17 Otto von Bismark's Blood and Iron Double Marzen -- 2 pts
#6 Von Stauffenberg's Assassinator Dopplebock -- 1 pt
#9 Doc Holliday's California Common (Steam) Beer -- 1 pt

#2 Iron Drawers Honey Porter is generally accepted by the collective members as a good brew - it doesn't appear on our list more due to style preferences. Also #12 is a sixth man on many lists.

#13 Ira Hayes American Indian Pale Ale was the second rated beer in June. Opinions have gone down due in part to a re-evaluation of our older beers and the arrival of our new beers.

More eval to come.

If I was voting today, I would immediately swap out the RikkiTikkiTavi in favor of the Ira Hayes, which was amazing last night.
