I'm not a hop head so I go for the malt.

I love those hops! All hops, all the time.
Edit- Wow, reading that older poll, I voted malt! I guess tastes change.

My hop-headedness is growing. I voted malt because I still look for a malty flavor, but now that I've learned how to mix hops for flavor and aroma I'm really starting to dig on them. My AIPA may be in my top 3 beers to date.

I like hops and sometimes BIG hops, but malt is key for me

I have to say that I loves me a bitter beer. But I am more into bitterness and flavor from the hops than the aroma.

I love hoppy brews, but I can also appreciate low IBU beers for what that they present whether that be maltiness, caramel, etc.

How does one go about distinguishing the flavors?
I drink, I like all types of beers.. I picked up a 4-ping pack of Bodingtons Pub Ale, to me it's a little bitter (zingy tongue feel). I'd assume that is the hops?
I know I love the stuff, and appreciate most of the differences..but no clue really as to what makes what what!? I guess I'll learn more as I brew..

It's kind of like picking your favorite child, I love them all even if they all have their different personalities!

+1 for malt. I like all sorts of maltiness whether it be roasted, chocolately, smooth caramel, etc. Bring on the malt!

Roast is the Ralph Nader of the Malt heads. He so lost the race for you guys.

I had to vote other.
It's got to be balanced but different beers have a different edge.
Some need to be hoppy
Some need to be malty
Some need to be yeasty.
Etc.., etc., etc.

Yeah, roast, caramel and malt should all count as malt. Unless we want to add flowery and bitter as categories as well.
