What would beer without hops taste like?

Sweet. You need some bittering to offset all that maltiness.

In some cases, it tastes pretty good (Alba Scots Pine, for example). You need a substitute for hops though.

back prior to the 15/16th century, they didn't use much hops in beer. grut, a mixture of herbs and spices was employed to balance out the sweet malt.
