Just got my scoresheets back. While the score for my cream ale was very respectable - 39 - I was pretty surprised by the feedback provided, or I should say lack thereof. I received the BJCP beer checklist from each judge, not the usual beer scoresheet, and between the two checklists, had a total of *one* comment: "slightly higher DMS than it should".
Is this what the rest of you received? On the BJCP website the description of the checklist says "If used as a substitute scoresheet, judges must provide additional written feedback in the comments section to justify the scores awarded and to amplify checkmarked notations." The fact that this form was used, and no additional comments were provided seems a bit lazy and weak. Is this what MCAB usually does? I would have expected higher quality feedback than a usual competition, not lower...
