![]() Top Scores (Highest to Lowest), by Site Untappd: Beer Untappd and BeerAdvocate are close in some scores, more variant in others, and while Untappd generally scores highest, BeerAdvocate occasionally surprises (look at Schlitz). In every case, RateBeer awarded lower scores that the other two sites. Overall Scores, in Alphabetical Order by Beerįor ease of comparison, I’m only showing the average score (on a scale of 1 to 5), omitting BeerAdvocate’s and RateBeer’s overall ranking levels.
