Here
at Ashley's we've developed a Flavor Rating to ease you exploration
into our beer list. The rating number does not imply a quality rating
of the beers listed. The scale goes from a 0-9. A 0 beer has little or
no flavor, very light body, no hop bitterness and no aftertaste. For
example, Ice beers are a 0. A 9 is a very full bodied beer, very strong
flavors (from hops or other additives), and a long, lingering finish.
Barley wines are an example of a 9. Most English ales are a 4, medium
body, some hop bitterness, etc.
How to Use the Flavor
Rating
We recommend that you try to find a beer that you have had before, find
its rating, and then work your way up to the flavor rating only 1 or 2
points at a time. If your favorite beer is Miller Lite don't jump to a
Scotch Ale (6-7). If you would like a small taste of any of the draft
beers before you order please ask your waitperson or you might like to
try our draft beer sampler. We hope our rating system helps guide you
through the world of beers!
