Phhhhbt is what I say. Expert, as in has posted a lot of ratings of beers on the website as opposed to novice who has posted only a few. Neither of those, does a true expert or novice make. Beers that slap you upside the head with strong flavors and alcohol get the highest ratings from the "experts". Anything that is refined and nuanced, but lower in ABV will not get good scores because it is not in your face.
That would be like saying the best hot sauces are only the ones that are the hottest. OK, did a quick search, found a hot sauce review site, and yep, if it is mild it gets a lower score.
I taste a fair bit of wine - actually taste a lot more different wines than I do beers. What I have noticed in my progression of how my tastes have changed over the years was that I used to be quite happy with a $10-$20 bottle that had a lot of fruit character up front - as is wow, that has a lot of flavor (ie, a beer with a high BA rating). What I've found though is that the punch of flavors is fleeting. Take a sip, enjoy it for a second, and then you are ready for another sip - because it has faded and you want that burst of flavors again - this can get dangerous
My preference now is, yes, I still like some fruit, but I want something with a good start, middle, and particularly, a great finish. Where I can take a sip, put the glass down for a good couple of minutes and still be enjoying then wine. I particularly enjoy wines where the taste evolve over the time of the sip. You get flavors A at the start, and then as you hold it in you mouth, you now notice B, and then as you swallow, you pick up notes of C. This is now what I also want in beer. I don't want a massive one note flavor. I like something with some subtlety to it. But since I only have one review on BA, I'm a novice.....
Now for my rant about the haters of mass produced beer. These beers are not bad beers, they may not be to your taste, but they are far from bad. Any flaw is immediately noticeable. Take 15 different mass produced lagers and taste them, and there is as much difference between them as between 15 different pale ales. If you say they all taste the same, then I'm sorry you've burnt out your taste buds so now the only way you can tell something tastes different is if it slaps you upside the head.
