Styles of Beer You Just Can't Stand

[d_flyer]

Stouts. Just not for me.

 

[kh54s10]

Most spiced or fruit beers. All commercial American lagers. Budweiser is one that I will only drink if someone gives to me and there is no alternative. And it is not because of their monopolistic policies. It just tastes gross.

Gose beers... they're the new ipa and they just dont do anything for me. Not really a fan of wheat beers either. I dont mind if there's a little wheat 8n the grist but a wheat style beer just isn't good to me.

 

[PADave]

Macro brews, fruit beers, beers that are too malty and don't have enough hops.

 

[woo_pig]

Am I the only one here that actually loves belgian beers? I just got back into brewing and just about everything I want to brew is some sort of belgian!
I do not have a beer "style" that I don't like, I really want to like Sam Adams stuff just cause their packaging is so pretty but every time I buy a 6'er of anything I end up dumping it.
I can typically drink 4,5,6 different types of beers in one sitting (Fruit, stout, Belgium, porters etc) and some times I even mix..i.e. Smithwicks and cider are awesome together!

I love Belgians. I am doing a imperial Belgium wit tomorrow .I love the complexity of the different flavors of a triple quad and the dark ones are even better . I feel the Belgians got three things right waffles chocolate and beer.

 

[buckinin]

Not a fan of wits very often either.

I've also tried to like Russian imperial stouts, but just can't.

 

[Crazyeyes]

One word, Tequiza! Makes me shiver just thinking about it, that stuff was nasty.

 

[actech]

Belgian, hate to sound like a broken record, but. Yuck

 

[brucegodin]

Pumpkin

Anything with maple

Fruit infused beers (except grapefruit)

All macro beers

 

[Scturo]

Light beer

 

[pdxal]

Anything smoked. Anything with any smoked malts like rauchmalt in them.
Also, not into beers that use roasted malts like chocolate, black, or roasted barley to color correct and make a beer into a red or amber.

 

[MrBJones]

I've only had one chocolate stout, but it was pretty bad (in my opinion). Surprising - and disappointing - since it was from Sam Smith, and I really like their porter and oatmeal stout. Might have to try another to be sure.

But the type that I find just disgusting is bourbon barrel beer. Tried a few, couldn't get past a few sips.

 

[catdaddy66]

I am a beer guy/person (as are all of us, right?) and love to try a lot of different ones. But after trying sour beers I have come to believe my palate just doesn't mesh with that style. At a recent tasting I had a gose from a brewer that is award winning. Still was a solid negative.

 

[andvari7]

Pumpkin beers. I get pumpkin spice latte, but I have yet to get a pumpkin beer I can stand.

 

[Dimax]

If you're like me, you love just about all styles; except for a very select few. What are they for you?

For me:

White IPA - to me this completely disregards the entire concept for 'balance' and personally I think it tastes disgusting.

Coffee IPA - I do like the taste of coffee and I do like IPA's for the most part, but together, not so much.

Pilsner - because of my days drinking bud and miller, I just cannot put these up to my nose. I can't do it.

I can't stand the taste of Banana in my beer! just can't do it, nope not at all.

 

[bonecitybrewco]

Can honestly say I've never had a Saison I've liked.

And overly sweet stouts (looking at you Neapolitan stout)

 

[afro_lou]

Belgian IPAs. [emoji13]
I think it's 'cause I like actual IPAs. Banana yeast doesn't really meld with pine and citrus. [emoji37]

 

[oakbarn]

Anything that has fruit or plant matter other than Hops, Coriander, or Chile (besides the grains). I also hate flavored coffee but the absolute worse is beer is "grapefruit". I will not have any flavored beers and ask for no fruit on a Blue Moon.

 

[tgmartin000]

Spiced beers, pepper beers. Oaked stuff.

 

[WI_Wino]

Smoked beers. And overly spiced beers.

Everything else is delicious. lagers, hoppy beers, sours, belgians, stouts, etc.

 

[Bosh]

Let's see:
1. Black IPAs: I just don't see the point. The ones I've had have often tasted like toned down IPAs with black food coloring. Why have a black beer if you're going to try so hard to minimize the roast flavor? Now a nice bitter porter on the other hand... Part of that is more my palate than the beer, I'm really insensitive to roasty flavors.
2. Beers that are both sweet and boozy. Alcohol and sweetness just clash horribly for me. Traditional English sweet stouts and milds are fine but some of those horrible cloying DIPAs or Sam Adam's abomination of an Octoberfest, yeck.
3. Rye: tastes like chewing on black pepper for me.
4. Saisons: I've made a ****-ton of saisons because of my lack of temperature control in the summer and just can't get around not liking the yeast taste these get. I can work around the flavor and make beers I enjoy (MOAR citra dry hop!) but it's always in spite of rather than because of the saison yeast. Luckily now I can just use WLP644 as more mild hot weather yeast.

 

[Sadu]

Tried a few sours and saisons at a beer festival recently. Can't say I can see what everyone else sees in them.

Also IPAs, while I really like a good one, there is soooo much rubbish out there. I pretty much only buy IPAs on draught where at least you know it's fresh.

And of course macro lagers, makes me want to cry when a restaurant's lineup consists of 8 different types of macro lager. Somehow offering 8 different brands of the same style of beer is "variety".

 

[Bosh]

Or more generally any beer that has one flavor that completely overwhelms everything else. Good beer should find some balance between the different ingredients and bone dry hop bombs or Belgian beers where all you can taste is the esters miss that.

That usually makes beers with adjuncts bad because either the adjunct overwhelms everything (bad) or they taste like whatever the dominant flavor from the yeast/malt/hops are and help that overwhelm everything.

 

[bonecitybrewco]

Forgot to add....and please don't take me over the coals for this.... but any type of sour beer. I don't like sour stuff to begin with, then you add the sweetness of beer and just...nope. Can't do it.

 

[tracyk]

Sour beers! Why would I want to drink something that has already gone bad once. Then I tried the Gose beers and OMG that was vial. One sip was all I could manage, then pitched the rest of the can out.

 

[hopdropz]

Milk Stouts and Belgian IPAs

 

[Gravity]

I know it's crazy, but I just can't like Saisons. I like most other Belgian styles including funky beers and lambics, but just don't love Saisons.

I also don't care for porters. They always seem like just a stout gone wrong to me. Like someone wanted to make a stout, but only had enough dark or roasted grain to add some color. They taste like a thin, watered down, non-roasty stout to me.

Blasphemy....pure blasphemy

 

[specharka]

Clean fruit beers. Stop pretending you can add anything you like to a wheat beer, it's gross.
Pumpkin beers. I don't understand what's so appealing about nutmeg in a brown ale, but every year people seem to make more money from it.
American lagers. People say BMC tastes like water, but I don't know any municipal water source with such a foul off flavor. Blech.

 

[jcav]

Am I the only one here that actually loves belgian beers? I just got back into brewing and just about everything I want to brew is some sort of belgian!

I really like Belgians. Delirium Tremens, Orval, Chimay, the list goes on!

 

[goforevercrazywithit]

Christmas Ales. Too extra
