What Judges Look For

Each brew is judged on several factors.

The Documentation. Is it complete? It should show where you got the recipe, what the recipe is, and the procedure that you used for making the brew.

The Brew. Does the brew have a good color? Is the color appropriate for the type of brew? If the brew is supposed to be clear, is it? If it is not supposed to be clear, is it? How is the nose? How is the flavor? Good start? Good finish? Aftertaste? Offtaste?

We also grant points for appropriateness for the competition.
