I’ll admit that after the Suzuki Samurai roll-over mess, I’m not a real fan of Consumer Reports, so it was interesting to see how they ranked and tested 23 “craft” beers for an upcoming issue. While they even managed to quote the Brewers Association definition for “Craft Beer” in the article, they also managed to include Blue Moon and even name Shock Top as a Consumer Reports Best Buy. If you want to see some other gems like:
- Stone is very fragrant, with floral, fruity, and juniper notes from the added hops. Strong, lingering bitterness rounds out the flavors but might be too much for some people.
- Dogfish Head has a great mix of malt and hop notes, with fruity and floral flavors, and is more intense than most.
- Samuel Adams has fruity and malty notes but might also be too bitter for some.
- Shock Top, a CR Best Buy, has big malty flavors of molasses, caramel, and honey with relatively low bitterness and some sweetness.
