I used to be a crazy never-enough hop-head that was always in search of really hopped-up, hoppy-hopped beer. Found a few that I loved, and then decided to start brewing my own.
I remember opening my first bag of hop pellets. Oh! That aroma! I was so excited and with every brew I made pushed the amount of hop aroma I could squeeze out of each batch.
But. Now it seems as though my palate has changed. It's like eating too much coconut and feeling sick, and then not really liking coconut anymore. IPA's don't seem that good. I cracked open a local favorite of mine yesterday and at first whiff thought I might pour it down the drain. Anyone ever change their preference by overdoing it?
I guess I'm going back to stouts.
