The guidelines a chock full of "medium-light" and "medium-full" descriptors.

That is good to know, since I was having a hard time figuring out how else to describe it ... lighter than medium? fuller than light? ... nothing seemed quite right.

I would suggest going to the :nutters: scale then. Just don't brag.

I'll be sure to leave my e-mail on the judging form so that the entrant can inquire what a 3/4 :nutters: mouth feel is referring to.

I would think that 'medium-large' would be self explanatory.

Puts a whole new twist on 'the wetness factor', eh? :D

Look at Traditional Bock (5B)

Mouthfeel: Medium to medium-full bodied. Moderate to moderately low carbonation. Some alcohol warmth may be found, but should never be hot. Smooth, without harshness or astringency.
