Answers.Body: <p>I think you'd have trouble with this because of different dimensions of flavor.  Beer has a very complex flavor and different recipes are different.  One can order beers (if specific enough to include a brand) along any dimension of flavor, but I am not sure that you can order them consistently along all dimensions.</p>
  
  <p>Here are dimensions I would think of:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Malty/caramel</li>
  <li>Hop-forward</li>
  <li>Bitter (Hops)</li>
  <li>Yeasty</li>

  <p>It isn't clear to me how one rates strength of flavor between an IPA and a porter for example.  So I think the answer here is a simple "no, you can't."</p>

  I think you'd have trouble with this because of different dimensions of flavor. Beer has a very complex flavor and different recipes are different. One can order beers (if specific enough to include a brand) along any dimension of flavor, but I am not sure that you can order them consistently along all dimensions.
  
  Here are dimensions I would think of:
  
  1. Malty/caramel
  2. Hop-forward
  3. Bitter (Hops)
  4. Yeasty
  
  It isn't clear to me how one rates strength of flavor between an IPA and a porter for example. So I think the answer here is a simple "no, you can't."
