Beer	GBA Rating (out of 20 ⭐)	Category	GBA Verdict
Blue Moon	7⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐	Standard Beer	Clean Crisp and refreshing.
Bud Light	3⭐⭐⭐	Standard Beer	Functional background beer. A liquid afterthought.
Corona	5⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐	Standard Beer	Right place, right time… but not right enough to remember.
Heineken	8.25⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐	Standard Beer	Objectively solid, clean Euro lager.
Modelo	5⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐	Standard Beer	Right place, right time… but not right enough to remember.
Ninkasi Hazy IPA	7.5⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐	Standard	Thicker, rounder, and citrus-forward with a smooth balance that leans heavy on orange juice vibes—but not in a cocktail beer kind of way. It’s got body, it’s got flavor, and it’s got guts… but it falls just short of greatness. The booze doesn’t quite punch through like you’d hope from a bold hazy. Still, it’s a crushable pour that finishes clean without offending the palate.
Ninkasi Megalodon Triple IPA	8.7⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐	Complex Beer	Clean, crisp, boozy but palatable at 10%. Impressive weight.
Ninkasi Red IPA	6⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐	Standard beer	Smooth and crushable, but not winning any awards for complexity. A faint citrus note shows up, but mostly just tastes like licking a grapefruit rind. Not bad if you want something light, simple, and a little bitter on the backend—but don’t expect fireworks.
PBR (Pabst Blue Ribbon)	6⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐	Standard Beer	Honest beer. No flair, no shame. The duct tape of your drinking lineup.
Pelican Brewing Blonde Ale	11⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐	Standard Beer	Fruity, bitter, flavorful—solid everyday beer.
pFriem Blonde Ale	9⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐	Standard Beer	Refined, balanced, Belgian-inspired without the fluff.
pFriem Czech Lager	12⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐	Standard Beer	Upgraded Heineken without the bitter after taste super good and remeberable for a Lager
pFriem Pilsner	6⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐	Standard Beer	Described as “off-brand Heineken.”
Volatile Substance NW Indian Ale	7⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐	Standard Beer	Light bitter citrus up front, fruity on the back. Flavorful—but drinks like air. Goes down easy, leaves barely a trace.
Voodoo Ranger Imperial IPA	13⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐	Standard Beer	Smooth, citrusy, boozy but balanced. A proper Imperial.
Voodoo Ranger Tropical IPA	2⭐⭐	Cocktail Beer	Juicy, high-ABV trap. Not a real IPA. Belongs in a tiki bar.
