Hej, nuke this one and the other from the same brewery - those are not even low ABV ciders. We call them Must here in Sweden, basically pressed apples that shouldn’t be fermented.
The original is already retired but for clarity can we rename and add a hyphen on the end of the year as it’s been brewed again for 2020. They added a separate vintage on Untappd but the description is identical so I don’t think anything has actually changed. I’m not going to add as a new beer unless we find out otherwise.
Question… are some beers automatically tagged based on text in the description? Or are tags only ever added by users?
Asking because I’ve come across non-English language beers, in this case Spanish, with irrelevant tags added. For example the ‘amarillo’ tag, not for the hop, but because that’s Spanish for ‘yellow’ so presumably lots of pale ales use it when describing the colour. Similarly with ‘sabro’, they don’t contain this hop but use the word ‘sabrosa’ in their description.
Is this users being idiots? Or is it Ratebeer trying to be clever and failing?
As a normal user, sometimes RB lets me remove tags from beers, sometimes it doesn’t, right now it doesn’t so I can’t remove tags myself. It’s no big deal just one of those mildly annoying things for those of us who actually use tags.
Tags are only added manually. When a tag is found in the title or in the description, it appears as a suggested tag.
So there’s 2 way the Amarillo tag was added to this beer.
Added by a user manually by mistake.
Added by automatic mass-tagging of the Amarillo tag (probably for the Hop) by a level10 admin or Dev by mistake. But note that removing a few erroneous tag containing the Amarillo word in some Spanish beer descriptions takes less time compare to adding the tag for all Amarillo-described beer manually…
And just looking at the Top50 there are loads of dryhopped Goses in there. They should probably all moved to Gose - Flavoured where already some are listed.
https://www.ratebeer.com/beer/kemker-mopken/651600/414653/ (this needs a complete update, here is the description: Collaboration with Gruthaus (Münster). Barrel aged Porter with Pumpernickel bread and rye malt. Both brewers pitched their sour dough cultures into the barrel. This is liquid bread!) - Porter - Flavored?
These have been added as Pale Ales but must be APAs (in fact the majority of Pale Ales brewed by a UK ‘craft’ brewery is going to be an attempt at an APA, surely):
Trying to be clever and failing I reckon. Someone ran a script and picked up a ton of unrelated shit, not having thought of this. :sigh:
Funnily enough, the first beer I fixed is a flavored imperial baltic porter - and unlike porters and stouts, we don’t have have imperial, flavored and imperial flavored versions of those.
I changed the first one and the last two, as deemed appropriate. The other ones are golden ales or summer ales so should probably stay where they are or dropped in the catch all Flavored- Other category. I kept them where they are.
