And the raw ratings on beer advocate can be very similar to Untappd, making it just as frustrating if a beer doesn't have enough ratings to hit their 100 point scale... but, even then I'll trust a detailed 4.17 review on there over a bunch of pics and 4.00 ratings on Untappd.

Used together BA and Untappd is probably the best gauge
I participated quite a bit on BA, especially the Great Lakes forum, and those dudes in general seem to be more old school. So they're probably underscoring hype beers vs Untappd hyping beers
I do like to look at pics on Untappd though as a gauge
Its similar to Yelp for me. I don't care what you thought of the decor and maybe service was off that night but I can tell I'm going to enjoy that chimichanga by the pic
