What the rating stars mean…

Got a couple of e-mails from people wondering what the stars meant in my Hopmonk post this morning. Here’s the skinny:
Ratings

FIVE STARS: World classic.

FOUR STARS: Don’t miss it.

THREE STARS: Very good.

TWO STARS: Good beer; no defects.

ONE STAR: Demand a refund.

I’ve used this method for several years. Before that, I tried to assign a score on 1 – 100 scale, but it got too complex, so I went back to a simpler system? Opinions anyone? Post them here.
