I believe I could honestly convert any American hop hater into a lover of such things... Realistically though, I'm not going to send all of you a free bottle of homebrew. Years ago, I used to hate bitter hoppy beers just like some of you. What can I say???... Things change! You really have to get over the bitterness and dryness before anything else, and your palate will change for them... Though the flavors and aromas of citrus, fruit, pine, and/or marijuana should come fairly natural to you from the very beginning.
