I love me some Beer Advocate. They're trying to spin this as a good thing, but I'm afraid of what it'll do to it long term.

I guess the optimist in me hopes that they improve untappd's rating structure so that people are actually putting some thought in to their rating based on appearance, nose, taste and mouthfeel, but the cynic in me would think it's more likely to just cheapen the reviews on BA.
