Styles of Beer You Just Can't Stand

[trav77]

White IPA or Black IPA. Just examples of a saturated craft brew market where breweries are trying to distinguish themselves but making disgusting beer in the process.

Also have to agree with Porter. Just doesn't do it for me. I like stout and I like brown ale. Porter is just... Meh.

 

[trav77]

Except coconut Porter! It's a paradox! I thought it would be a gross novelty but it's surprisingly tasty! Also helps when your drink it in Hawaii so maybe relaxation has something to do with it.

I'll await the lynch mob on this one...but I dont like IPA's at all, I just can't get into them try as I might, occasionally I'll grab a "must try" IPA and every time I remember why I only do it occasionally. So far the only ones I've really been able to even stomach are the varieties of Sculpin.

Everything else I'll basically drink, might not love it, but I can drink it.

Agree with you in spirit, but I'm building up a small stable of IPA-type beers I can sorta stand. I've found one I actually like, though: Six Rights, by Sierra Nevada. ~8%, 50 IBU. My long-distance partner summed it up "...okay, I can taste why this is an IPA...but I don't want to immediately stop drinking it. "

Also not a fan of the saisons, sours, and "funky" beers I've had so far.


Styles I literally can't stand: bitter-balanced high-gravity IPAs that have inexplicably been mislabeled as barleywines.

 

[Turkeyshot]

Most Pilsners (I could drink them if that is what was available, just not a fan of them) and some Lambics.

 

[jmcquesten]

Blasphemy....pure blasphemy

Haha. Which part?

 

[brhenrio]

Most lagers and pilsners. Lack the depth of flavour i enjow in ales

 

[slym2none]

Not a huge fan of the overly-Belgian yeast characteristics. Not a fan of cloves and/or banana in my beer.

I am not really a lover of fruit in my beer, although there are styles that handle fruit very well, and I am still overly sensitive to spices in my beer (one reason I can't stand most pumpkin beers) but I have learned that there are no absolutes when it comes to every style.

 

[shortyz]

any cherry sours, aka robotussin.

 

[jsharp4684]

I'm not an IPA fan. Around 40 IBUs is my limit. And I'd rather not drink at all if I can only have a domestic macro brew.

 

[Paps]

American IPA`s
All variety of sours/Lambics
Any beer with Tequila pre-mixed into it (Tequila does NOT belong in beer)
BMC beers

 

[jsharp4684]

Any beer with Tequila pre-mixed into it (Tequila does NOT belong in beer)

Have you ever had Desperadoes? It's pretty good. The tequila actually compliments it well.

 

[esw6]

I'm going to have to say Gose, Lambics, and pilsner for me. I can't stand the sours, nor can I stand the lack of taste that pilsners have.

 

[Horseflesh]

I can't stand dry Irish stouts or overly malty IPAs.

 

[Maylar]

Flavored, spiced, bitter, sour or fruit beers. Ick.

 

[Lefou]

I can't stand the taste and smell of skunked beer. When I see lost souls purchasing beer in green glass it makes me want to cry.

 

[jam095]

Another on the white IPA's...they are out of balance on the wrong side for me. I'm a malt lover

 

[JGF]

There aren't a whole lot of styles I don't like, or at least that I can't or won't drink.

Anything with cranberry or grapefruit is disgusting to me (and not just in beer).

I want to like blueberry beers because I love blueberries but I've never had a blueberry beer that's been very good.

Never been much of a pumpkin beer fan...but I try them every year.

 

[Nomofett]

Basically everything Belgian. Not sure why but I just can't get into it. The closest I can get is a white IPA.

 

[Atlmustang]

Belgian Tripels and white IPA's. Ick! Sweet, yeasty and heavy. No thanks. Also, sours. Gross. Creature comforts here in Atlanta has Athena. I tried to get theough one can. Cant do it.

 

[Zekk]

Wheat and smoked beers. Can't stand them, especially if the wheat beer has banana flavors. To me all smoked beers taste like I licked and ash tray.

 

[jurgenph]

it's pretty black or white for me

don't like Witbier, don't like porters or stouts

don't like a beer that's bittered for the sake of being bitter

don't like a beer that has so much residual yeast in it that it still tastes like yeast

i can think of many other beers that i don't care for in a style that i usually do enjoy.

[Hoppy2bmerry]

Thick syrupy stouts that taste how I think an ashtray would taste. No thanks.

 

[eric19312]

belgian IPAs

I love Belgians and I love IPAs

I want to love Belgian IPAs but havent found one yet that worked for me.


No a fan of huge barrel aged stouts

 

[drksky]

Most IPAs. I don't want to drink something that numbs my tongue so much that I can't taste anything else.

Anything "Imperial" or "Double", especially stouts, especially if they're barreled. I'll probably get strung up for saying it, but I think BCBS is awful. Destihl has won awards for their Dosvidanya RIS, but I can't choke it down.

I like stouts in general, but these styles I just can't stand and don't understand the appeal.

Wow. Finally someone who admits to liking Bud Light.

You've eliminated everything else.

hah, didn't see that coming
i think that i left quite a bit more on the table

don't think that i even had any beer that has "light" in the name.

FWIW, i've enjoyed some 100+IBU IPAs, but they had more going on than just bitterness. i don't mind bitter, if it serves a purpose

i didn't list what i DO like, as it seemed not what this thread is about

[Corey_SS]

- Scotch Ale / Wee Heavy
- Belgian Quads

I can't do overly sweet or phenolic/peppery beers

 

[NoIguanaForZ]

Argh, just thought of this: "AKA, barfeywines."

 

[goforevercrazywithit]

Stouts that are sludgy and waaay too sweet

(posting inspired by the Founders Russian Imperial Stout I just opened)

 

[Bosh]

I'm getting pretty close to writing off anything with even the slightest bit of vanilla. Damns stuff just drives all the beery goodness out.
