any idiot can wear boxers or briefs. it takes a real man to nut up and seductively slip on a tight lace red and black French cut number.

edit: and hops! don't forget the hops in your butt crack!
 
Getting back to the OP's point (yeah, I know, good luck with that) I think it depends on the deftness of the brewer. I really like Sam Adam's Summer Ale, with the grains of paradise. I am a Pumpkin Ale lover, but again, only those with subtle spicing. And I adore Christmas ales.

I think in general, people are trying to do something "new" more than something "good." And they're overdoing it. Left hand Fade to Black is a great example, what makes it amazing is the balance of malt, hops, peppers, you can detect each note. I've had other pepper beers that just blew away my palate, not enjoyable.

Of course, you can make the same argument about IPAs, with more time and exposure, I am finding I enjoy those with malt / hop balance rather than drinking hop juice.

Funny, I was drinking my Maibock last night, thinking, damn, simple beer, simple hops, yet balanced, delicious, and drinkable. Maybe too many beers are "unique" but not drinkable.

Anyhow, there's room for everyone in our tent.

I'll bring my panties!
 
Im not much into spiced beers, but I do enjoy some pumpkin beer in the fall... By some, its narrowed to Shipyard followed by Buffalo Bills.

I definitely agree with this sentiment!
