I feel the same way about hoppy beers as the OP is about wheat beers. I can't get into them. They taste like complete foulness to me. I wish I could get into them, so I could enjoy more kinds of beers, but I haven't found any that really make me want to finish the bottle, let alone have another.
There seem to be quite a few things that sound excellent that would make a good beer, as someone posted earlier something about blod orange hefe. something like that catches my eye but i just seem to not be into wheat beers so that kind of keeps me from making something like that. I will still give wheat beers a sample and im thinking of maybe doin a 2.5 gallon batch of some sort of wheat just to say ive made one and if i dont like it ill pawn that on my friends when they ask for a beer Ill continue my search to find one and if i dont there are plenty of other beers that i do like so it shouldnt be a whole lotta sweat off my back. thanks everyone for their advice!!!
I use to think wheat beers that i'd tried were spoiled/skunked, but then I realized that's what they are supposed to taste like. Now I just expect every wheat to taste like banana's and cloves. when they don't i'm pleasantly surprised
