Fruited beers and Belgian wits are not enjoyable for me.
I feel like a failure in some respects because I just don't care for barleywines. I can *appreciate* the craft in a barleywine, but I hate the overwhelming sweetness. Even when properly bittered, it's just too much.
Please don't stone me for admitting this!
I'll drink (2) HOT 30pks of mixed Coors, Miller, Bud before I'll ever attempt to drink another Lindemans Geuze Cuvee Renee'.
I even tried sugaring it as is suggested the locals do, but blech!
And I like sours.
Sam Adams Cranberry Lambic made me want to punch myself in the face for drinking it.
I don't do lager. Just disgusting, even the "craft" ones.
So lately I have been trying just about every brand and style I can find locally. Most are decent, some are great, some are not for me.
What kind of beers have you found that you simply can not drink?
Like a lot of folks I do not care for BMC, but I have also found that I really do not care for the belgian witbiers I have had (blue moon, sam adams white ale...etc.) Something tells me there is a witbier out there I would enjoy, but I haven't found it yet.
What about your personal tastes?
Anything you can not bring yourself to drink?

Interesting.
Do you prefer the ale Baltic Porters to the lager ones?
I haven't found a style I don't like, just some styles not very well executed. Like some bock's that are just waaaay too sweet.

Too many "I don't like wheat beers" here, damnit! I had my first Dunkelweizen this last year (Franziskaner , hell-yeah!) and I have been obsessively brewing beers with WY-3068 ever since.
I love some IPA's but I hate others.....the IPA's that just taste like hop-juice are horrid, but I had an IIPA at a local brew-pub, 1.090 and 125IBU, that was just awesome. You could literally feel the hop resin on your lips and a nice light spice in the back of your throat (not to mention it put me the **** to sleep, night cap beer anyone?), but it still managed a great balance. It was excellent.
I hate Paulaner Salvator. Cloying sweetness with burnt grass/mint overtones...I dumped it.

Some people's ONLY experience to lagers initially are of the BMC variety, and haven't yet come around to trying some of the amazing non Bohemian varieties....I've been drinking Micro/craft brews for probably a lot longer than you, and I'm only now discovering the wonderful world of other Lagers...
The only beer I've ever had to choke down was Rogue's Chipotle ale. Ugh. I had a homebrew made with I think jalapenos later that was much more balanced... there was just no beer flavor in the chipotle.
