most beers are pretty good, you should try some different ones to find ones you like and be accepting of other people's tastes and choices

Having an enormous variety of beers to try is great, there's gonna be a flavor for everyone. Also variety and competition in products is the backbone of capitalism so anyone who bitches about microbrews is a communist on top of being a baby idiot. Ratebeer is still full of doofuses tho

I too, enjoy a nice 6-pack of Coors so I can pretend on youtube to distinguish the subtle delicacies of spoiled barley and fermented gas on a tin can. I have a curled up moustache and refuse to ride anything but my antique penny-farthing to work.

i got some New Belgium Accumulation on Friday, and while white IPAs seem to be polarizing I really enjoy the sharp citrusy bitterness, slight hint of pine, and clean refreshing finish. It has a big fluffy head and a pale yellow color with moderate lacing. It's a shame that it's a winter seasonal because I think this would be a fantastic hot weather beer. 4.5/5 I'm gonna drink a lot of this before it leaves stores for the season.

I'm a homebrewer so i know beer more than most people. Generally those with a more discerning palate and appreciation for beer will be able to pick up on these subtle flavors. Those who get a six pack and go watch the "game" with their bros don't know how to appreciate beer. When i taste my 18 month aged lambics i can taste the horse blanket barnyard funk that is a signature of this treasure of a brew.

Wulfolme posted:I think the whole 'notes' bullshit is a way of saying how the beer tastes by saying that it reminds them of how other things taste. We don't really have a lot of nuanced words to describe tastes and smells like we do for sounds or colors or textures. For example, try to describe the different ways a fart can smell without just saying that the fart smells like something else. For all of these beers and all of these farts, the only way to really get an impression across is to invoke previous tastes, smells, or farts that readers have experienced. its also a bit that a lot of very varied and complex flavors, result from the presence of different esters, that may be prosciuttoed in the beer procession, so in many ways, these ppl, are detecting these individual chemicals, and their combinations 4 example, yuo can make something taste of rum, by merely adding a bit of ethyl formate, and isobutyl propionate, thougfh it is also recommended that you add 30-50% ethyl alcohol by volume, so as to achieve the proper rum experience

 I don't buy into the whole "mmm yes I tasted the bark of an oak tree with the subtle end notes of peach" stuff but I do use that site for the score system. When 900+ people review a beer with a mean score of 90+ it's usually a sign that it's worth your time.

A well travelled guy I know told me to try the 'localest' beer first when in a new place. Turns out to be pretty good advice. Also if you stick with only one kind of beer or whiskey or whatever, it will wreck your palate for others. Switch it up and enjoy the new tastes. Finally, the best beer I ever had was Theresian Brau in Innsbruk.

gnarlyhotep posted:I've been really impressed with Karbach lately. Their Weisse-Versa is really good. Practically no hops (gently caress hops) and a good malty mouthfeel. I'm with you. Hoppy beers have their place, but I'm all about the malts. We must have just about reached the apex of hoppy beers by now, right?

NomChompsky posted:I wish I could like IPA's as much as everyone else but I prefer like brown ales or amber ales. IPA's are just too bitter for me. Oh well. It's just an acquired taste, like when you were a kid, vegetables suck but now that you're an adult they're delicious. The same thing happens with IPAs, but you do it when you're an adult instead of when you're a child. This is the same way you figure out the joys of single malts and things like that. The problem is that some people don't like acquiring a taste for new things, so they invent the fallacy that IPAs are bad. This is the exact same breed of the lame rear end dude who "doesn't like the taste of alcohol" and it's the same baby who throws his mashed carrots on the floor. People forget that we acquire the taste for ALL THINGS, you just don't really associate it because a lot of taste associations happen in early childhood. But it really is the equivalent of a closed mind. In short, try it a lot, I guarantee you'll like it. You did it when you were a kid. It's a totally natural and chill part of growing as a person and as a lover of food/drink.

I think the issue is less that XXXTreme hops doesn't taste good, it's just that there is a lot more to beer than just hops. I can appreciate a ultra hoppy beer, but it seems to be the easy-mode route that most microbreweries go. It's just very uncreative and done to death.
