i don't understand what i like, and don't like about beer. i've been sheltered my whole beer life, and had very few brands/styles of beer untill about the last month.
and i've found that i really don't like the majority of the beers i've tried.
i tried a chocolate stout-hated it. tasted like i was drinking month old coffe grounds.
i tried a beer called hopslam-hated it. tasted like i was eating a tree.
i tried alpha kings three floyds pale ale-hated it. tasted very bitter, also like coffee.
i tried a local micro called gnaw bone pale ale-hated it. had the same bitter coffe nasty taste.
now on to what i liked, and why.
tried sam adams hefeweizen. i really liked it. very smooth, and easy to drink.
tried hoegarrden. i loved it. it was like blue moon, but a little bit better to me.
tired some india pale ale, forgot what brand. i really liked it. it was also smooth, and easy to drink.
tried a local micro called razzwheat and really liked it. kind of fruity, and good to drink.
tried red stripe and i really liked it. tasted what i would call "normal".
so am i just a ******? i really want to get into different beers, i have always just drank pbr, dos equis amber, blue moon, high life, etc.
i was very interested in homebrewing, just because i'm a diy kind of guy, and i love learning new things, and taking pride in things, but i'm beginning to wonder now if i made a mistake, because i'm having trouble finding beers that i like, and what it is that i like about the ones i do like, etc.
