What's on the sheet

The structure every beer judge uses, without the judging. No style guidelines to memorise and no score you have to justify to anyone.

The beer

Beer, brewery, style, ABV, IBU, and the date it was canned, which matters more for hops than anyone expects.

Appearance

Colour, clarity and head, with a word bank on the sheet: straw through black, brilliant through opaque, white through tan.

Aroma

An intensity scale, three ruled lines, and the malt, hop and yeast vocabularies printed underneath.

Flavour & mouthfeel

Bitterness, sweetness, body, carbonation, alcohol and finish, each on its own five-box scale.

Conclusion

A score out of ten, whether you'd buy it again, whether it was true to style, and what you ate with it.

A blind sheet

Second page. Cover the label, taste, guess the style, the ABV and the country, then reveal.

Built for a table of six

The blind sheet is the one people actually use. Everyone gets a glass, nobody sees the can, and the arguing starts before the reveal.

So the guess block asks for style, ABV within a percent and country: three things a confident drinker will commit to, and get wrong often enough to be fun.

FAQ

Do I have to give you my email?

No. The link downloads the PDF straight away. No form, no list.

Is this a BJCP scoresheet?

No. A BJCP sheet is built for competition judging, with style guidelines and a structured score out of fifty. This is for drinking with friends: same senses, no rulebook. If you're judging a competition, use the official form.

How do I run a blind tasting?

Pour in the kitchen, number the glasses, keep the cans out of sight. One sheet per person per beer, and don't reveal anything until everyone has written their guess. The first person to say "that's obviously a saison" ruins it for the rest.

Can I use it at my taproom or bottle shop?

Yes, including commercially. Print as many as you need, no credit required.

Which should I print, A4 or Letter?

A4 in Europe and most of the world, Letter in the US and Canada. Same content, different page size.

Can I edit it?

The sheet is a normal web page. Open the printable version and print from your browser, or save it and change the HTML for your own fields.
