In that case I would call the first one excellent and the second "outstanding", "superlative" or "world class" then. But it's just semantics I suppose.

Think he said "damn tasty", which to me is better than pretty good.

Just to clarify my thoughts on this beer: it's not "damn tasty," it's just "pretty good."

Sorry, it was OP who said "damn tasty", my mistake.

totally understandable.
you saw Liam say something non-negative about Beaus and your hands started to shake and cold sweat ran down your back.

There's no need to turn it into a flame war. I just wondered why a beer that was damn tasty was not excellent. Those two things would be equivalent to me.

you're being flamed? by whom?
that was a comment on Beaus and not on your beer acumen (or reading skills)

I think Liam is saying that it's worth trying, and probably worth buying if it ends up being your thing, Just that he wouldn't be scoping out multiple LCBO locations to stock up. I dunno, I'm too lazy to go back a page and attribute who said what to whom.

Tried it myself, I'll go with tasty, but not quite sure if it's at "Damn Tasty" level

. I tend to break out the expletives only when a beer cracks the 4.0 threshold on RB, or dips below the 2.0 marker.

Sip of Sunshine, now that is a Damn Tasty (tm) beer. Lactese Falcon, now that was a fucking awful one.

The girlfriend thought that was a Damn Tasty beer. We were at a C'est What Spring/Fall festival that Church Key released it at. She liked the sample so much she got a WHOLE pint of the stuff.

Such a fun time sitting next to her smelling that beer and seeing it's murky brownness. Ugh. She still pines about the stuff.

Now a Damn Tasty beverage is Church Key's Purple Loosestrife mead. Man that stuff was good! Anytime I bump into a Church Key rep I bug them about making some more. I'll probably give it a shot myself at some point.

Perhaps we need to establish a set of preferred nomenclature to classify eg. damn tastiness or pretty goodness on a fairly even continuum of subjective descriptors.

Otherwise it's like we have all this non-official language to interpret meaning from.

Would "delicious" be better than "damn tasty"?

Peche Mortel showing stock.

I wonder if this is the 2011 batch or the 2012 batch?!?
