I feel like IPA is getting the same treatment now that scotch got for decades. I still can mostly only taste ashtray when I taste scotch but I am told that there are other flavors to be had.
I guess it tastes less like ash when you’re smoking cigars in tandem. I’ve done that a handful of times and always found it enjoyable, but I was always in great company, so disentangling the sensation from the circumstances is difficult. Some IPAs are mildly enjoyable, but I worry that I just like high ABV beers. Belgians, MMMMmmmmmmmm
There's a lot of shit sours out there. But give me a good Flanders red or Gose and I'll more than happily drink it.
I agree with bfx. There are some sours that I enjoy, but I can't ever drink more than one. Pilsners or lagers, though? Line 'em up.
