Least favorite style?

[Cheesefood]

I have to say, so far the 80 shilling I've made is my least favorite style. What do you guys dislike?

chocolate jalepeno ale

 

[feedthebear]

BMC and any yellow beer with there exceptions: hefe, kolsh, and lambic.

My rule of thumb: The more difficult it is to see through, the better.

What don't you like about 80/-?

 

[ryser2k]

Some people might think I'm crazy, but I'm not a big fan of Belgian Wits. I don't really like "banana esters" in my beer... if I wanted to taste bananas, I would eat a banana!

 

[feedthebear]

I wondered the same thing. My scottish ale is an 80. I love it.

I'm going to take a wild guess that its too peaty for his taste.

I don't even have to taste that to know I don't like it.

The taste is too abrasive for me. It's just not enjoyable.

 

[the_bird]

I'm becoming less and less a fan of flavored beers generally.

P-Funk, I love ya man, but your Choco-Vanilla combo does nothing for me

I think a lot of this may stem from my mocha stout, which I just can't drink. Too much coffee, too much chocolate, not enough beer.

Mind if I have a boo at the recipe you used? It's supposed to be a fairly mild mannered beer.

 

[Cap'n Jewbeard]

Well, I have to admit, I don't know what I'll think of the Black and White either; it's an experiment in a totally different style of beer. I think it's one of those things that you have to approach with a completely open mind.

Other than that... what don't I like... Corona. I can't dig Corona at all. I hate it more, in fact, than I do BMC (which I will tolerate, or outright enjoy if they're cheap-to-free at a dive bar)

 

[homebrewer_99]

I've drunk Rauchbier at the Schlenklera all day long, but whenever I sample a B A R L E Y W I N E -- I just think it's a waste of enough malt to make a couple good batches of beer...

Yes, I've had EKU 28 many times too, but I drank it from shot glasses.

I lived in Germany for 9 years and I have to admit (with a bit of embarrassment) that I went to a gasthaus for lunch and stayed all day and even had diner there. On more than a dozen occasions I went there for diner and stayed til closing.

I know, call me "dedicated"...

Hi, my name is Bill and I have a problem. It got to be so bad that I've posted over 5,000 times on a brewing website.

Call me spoiled, but I don't drink Corona or BMC even if it were free.

chocolate jalepeno ale

Youve tried that too? Ive made it, more or less following the "Goat Scrotum" recipe in papazians book.

Didnt learn my lesson the first time, so I made it again. I cant seem to get rid of them.

Tell me you're making the Chickenbrau.

I need to make some Skittlebrau.

 

[magno]

I have given some thought to the chickenbrau, only it would be a turkeybrau, like for thankgiving. Three gallons of that, and three gallons of a garlic pale ale, uncarbonaed for cooking.

 

[Yooper]

I love beer- almost all kinds. The few I don't like are fruit beers and hefeweissens. I guess I don't like fruity flavors in my beer at all. I laugh when the guys on the board are talking about making a beer for their wives and all the suggestions are for lambics, or hefeweissens. Yuck! Like winecoolers, they are "beercoolers".

I don't like really sweet beers either- there is a micro in Houghton, Michigan that has a brown ale that looks and smells great. When you taste it, though, WAY too sweet for me.

I like stouts, porters, amber ales, bitters, IPAs, etc. I love malty flavors, as well as really hoppy beers. My all time favorite beer of all time is Capital Brewery's Blonde Dopplebock, but for regular drinking I like SN's pale ale. That's a good one!

What was the question again? oh yeah, least favorite style- hefeweissen.

[david_42]

Belgians, heavily hopped ales where the style is about malts (Widmer's NW Red 06 is a good example, nice beer, but NOT what I'm looking for in a Red), mega-imperial everything, soda-pop fruit beers.

 

[Hermish]

I don't really like pale ales. I love a good IPA, but a normal pale ale is just not very good. Even something like a Bass or SNPA, they are just not for me.

Ick - that stuff is the WORST! My step dad used to drink that piss. Even on nights when I was hammered, came home, and wanted just ONE more, I couldn't drink Old Style.

I'd take a sip, cringe, and pour the rest down the drain.

 

[Cheesefood]

One of my friends drinks Old Style exclusively. Being a Cubs fan, I've downed several dozen in my day.

 

[user 574]

Any fruit beer and especially holiday spiced. Pumpkin? <yack>..

My hand is forced by swmbo to do those apricots in my sig and now she doesn't like them much and I got 3 cases worth!

 

[Monk]

I have to say, I've gotten pretty picky in a way. I guess I've just come to realize that no matter how cool I think certain styles sound, I just don't like how they taste. For example:

smoked beer - tried to like the 22 I drank of it, but just couldn't. Had to toss it.

barleywines - way too powerful a taste. I like the idea a lot, but I just don't like the taste at all. It seems cloying and overpowering. Wish I dug it, but it's just not for me.

Belgians - this one is a bummer. I used to like belgians quite a bit. Then I made one and fermented with too high a temp, I think. It came out smelling and tasting like a volcano--all sulfur. After I drank it my piss smelled like mt. st. helen's. (not that I was trying to smell my piss, but it was unusually strong smelling). Ever since I've had trouble enjoying any brew that has a hint of that sulfury taste.

I have to say, I tend to avoid most "big" beers, over 1.065 at least. I like the 4-5% range, usually. Pale ales, hefs, bitters and ESBs in the lower part of the range, and especially amber and irish ales--those are my favorites. Why not spread that gravity out over several pints, I say.

Cheers!

Pumpkin? <yack>..

Ya, I'm not a fan either. I'm REALLY glad I bought a commercial offering before brewing my own. Having 5 gallons of that to get rid of would be painful.

I like some fruit beers - like Sam Adams Cherry Wheat, but can only have one or two before the taste becomes too much.

New Man Law for me. I don't make fruit beers for the wife, I buy them by the 6 pack for her. Done with that .

Oh and I won't be sending the apricots to the FFB winners either. That'd be an embarrasing statement of my brewmanship and probably get me banned.

I have no idea what to send the winner - I don't own any bottling equip. I may have to pick up a beer gun and a capper.
