My Buddy has this coworker, who is a home brewer, and was given a really nice sour beer. It was barrel aged, and I know it must have been hard to make...
So my Buddy wanted to give him something back, for being so generous, and asked if I'd give him one of my home brews. I said, "Of coarse," and gave him a bottle of my most recent APA. Nothing special, especially when compared to this guy's sour beer, but still I gave it to him anyways.
Turns out that he's a beer judge, possibly bjcp, and he filled out an entire form for me. He gave me a score of 38/45. I was excited to get an opinion, other than the typical "oh, that tastes pretty good". He was spot on, by saying "there was too much malt presence" makes sense because I used two full lbs of Munich, instead of my usual one pound, for 6 gal.
