Has anyone made a hop less beer, Im thinking of trying one to see what it is like. What are your thoughts?

I found that the pine tips added slightly menthol flavor to a pleasant medium flavored ale. I'm sorry that I couldn't have taken a picture of the brew!
When passed around a mixed crowd of beer lovers it was agreed by most that it is a somewhat of an acquired taste.
I was in the moment and so... I was longing for about 4 more.
Coincidently, there is a mispelling on the beel label. On the directions section it uses the word "form" instead of "from".
