What he's saying is it's easy to throw a ton of hops in a brew & call it excellent. But if you can't taste the malt at all,it's skewed too far out of balance. You can have a hoppy beer & still have a good malt profile. Beer is not just about the dozen different hops used,but that it supports the malt profile.
I disagree completely. There's times when I want a hop-bomb with a light body and little to no maltiness. I wouldn't want that to be the only thing I ever drink, but I don't see any danger of that happening.
Besides, I would say that it's actually not any easier to brew super hoppy beer than it is to brew any other kind of beer out there. I've had great hop bombs and lousy hop bombs, just like how I've had great maltier styles and lousy malty styles.
