Beer Judge App Reviews

There is no reason whatsoever to charge more than zero cents for this app. The flavor wheel is nice, but should come with a powerful magnifying glass to make it legible. The rest (a list of off flavors and two ways to determine the color of beer) is the superlative of a bad joke. Maybe something essential is missing, more features that are scheduled for arrival soon. Until then, do not buy this app.

Good app, beats looking at a jpg on google images and the tasting notes are great. Good app, especially if you want to hone you beer tasting skills.

In beer school Olds College, AB. Currently most of us have adopted this and love it. Particularly anyone entering first semester this Sept. 2014, I cant recommend this app enough.

The flavor wheel is much better than paper since it wont be destroyed by condensation. The off-flavor explanations are informative, but the camera interface is poor and has always failed for me

As a BJCP Judge I use this all the time. Well worth it.

Really enjoyed using the color detection .

This gives you the beer flavor wheel and a couple interesting SRM tools, but it is difficult to say how accurate they are. Not worth the measly $2 IMO. Hopefully they will build more functionality into this over time.

A detailed Flavor wheel and an SRM chart. Thats about it. The "analyzer" is supposed to measure the SRM using the camera. So far Ive tested several beers an all i get is "bad match" an a stab at a SRM number. The flavor wheel text is So small I cannot see it. It cannot be magnified and is useless to me unless I get some cheater glasses on. So. Cool? Yea. Useful? Not really functional? Not from what Ive seen.

I took a HUGE leap of faith with my two dollars by buying this app. I figured it was kinda new and wouldnt have all the dynamic analytic systems that one would expect after spending two dollars. And it doesnt. My leap of faith comes in later when they (hopefully) vastly improve this app adding other helpful tools to someone who judges with the BJCP, and raise the price to four dollars. Maybe add the definitions to each of the terms on the flavor wheel. Or some helpful descriptors for each category that one can use while filling out a score sheet. Or even go nuts and have an electronic BJCP scoresheet that can be used and link up to a wireless system at a BJCP event and instantly file a scoresheet. I know Im nuts! Nice start, just keep it going and make it worth $4.

The app doesnt give you much that you cant find elsewhere, but is nifty and good for a very quick lookup.

A very useful app. I just have two comments. The SRM color scale tool wont let you go darker than about 25, and the description of diacetyl in the off-flavors has some typos in the 2nd and 3rd paragraphs. These are too confusing to figure out from context.

I really like the flavor wheel!

Ive been looking for an app that helps with flavor references for a while. This one covers the whole spectrum, with a simple to use wheel feature. Its exactly what I was looking for. A great enhancement would be a pop-up on the wheel screen that explains the different description - e.g. if you press and swipe across the name. That would save effort flipping back to the off flavors screen (still keep that too - very useful).

Fun to use. Helps me learn more about beer.

Very helpful app when tasting and evaluating beers. The SRM component works great and the flavor/aroma wheel works like a charm to revive flavor memories. Cheers!

Awesome

Great app, concise off flavor descriptions, flavor wheel & in depth full beer style guidelines. Awesome.

This helps me remember that diacetyl means buttery and dms means cooked corn! I always mix those up.

I like everything about this app. The favor wheel is a nice reminder of how you can make or differentiate tastes. Unfortunately, my SRM does not work. I was hoping for a quick digital way for analyzing color.

I like everything about it. I use it when I go to judge beer.
