I rated these beers at different times in my beer rating hobby and some bottles were old, maybe I ate a spicy taco and then rated Damon and other variables. so I\u2019m posting this for posterity but I do plan on revising my ratings. Clara and Anna have both become much better. CD1 was a very old bottle when I rated it which is also a problem. Flora I gave a 4.6 when it\u2019s turned out to be one of my favorite Hill Farmstead beers.<\/p>\n<p>Also, even though there seven beers I rated a 4.8, that&#8217;s the overall rating. RateBeer puts these in order based on all 5 individual numbers I give so Society 5 and Society 3 may both be 4.8 but one was a 9 taste and another was an 8 taste so that leads to 5 beating it out. The top 10 I fully agree with though. These are beers I could drink for the rest of my life and be very content and happy.<\/p>\n<p>Either way, this is a fun exercise to share. I doubt everyone will agree with this but I feel so lucky to live close to a brewery that makes my favorite beers!<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Art (5)<\/li>\n<li>Society &amp; Solitude #5 (4.8)<\/li>\n<li>Society &amp; Solitude #3 (4.8)<\/li>\n<li>Arthur (4.8)<\/li>\n<li>Damon (Port Barrel Aged) (4.8)<\/li>\n<li>Damon (4.8)<\/li>\n<li>Friendship and Reunion (4.8)<\/li>\n<li>Abner (4.8)<\/li>\n<li>Civil Disobedience (Release 4) (4.7)<\/li>\n<li>Biere de Norma (4.7)<\/li>\n<li>Flora (4.6)<\/li>\n<li>Juicy (4.6)<\/li>\n<li>Susan (4.6)<\/li>\n<li>Civil Disobedience (Release 5) (4.6)<\/li>\n<li>What Is Enlightenment?
