US/OZ ales and lagers

Beer tasting with Miki and Józsi. We tested four types from US company Kirkland and an Aussie brand XXXX. First off, we separated the five beers into two groups: ales and lagers. The three ales kinda tasted all the same, only their level of bitterness separated them from each other. The two lagers were actually pretty good...but I thought they were both on the watery side. Anyways, to make a long blabla short, here are the results. 






Miki's ranking:
1. Amber Ale
2. Pale Ale
3. India Pale Ale

2. German Lager

Józsi's ranking:
