I don't like belgian beer

Jesus serious thread reasurection/bias yeast hate.

Also, obviously, New Belgium is the most obvious culprit. Not, you know, Belgian breweries or anything.

I've had a few Belgian-style American beers that I like (New Belgium "Abbey" is the only one I can think of) but even Abbey took a couple to warm up to me -- it was a bit too banana-y at first

I brewed a dubbel a few months ago and it's drinkable but I don't really like it. I'm gong to take a bottle to the next homebrew meeting and get folks to critique it for me. (I'm not sure if I don't like it because I just don't like it, or if it really sucks) I'm pretty sure I fermented it at too low a temperature for the yeast that I used -- it took forever to finish.

I haven't totally given up tho', I'm going to try brewing a summer witbeir soon, and maybe a saison.

One reason I started brewing again was to expand my horizons. I like IPA's but there's a lot more beers out there. the English Bitter I brewed recently is not quite to style but it tastes awesome and everybody likes it.

Is something wrong with me? I am really not a connosoir of fine beer unless I'm in love with Belgians?

No. But which Belgian beers in particular do you dislike?
