What's your least favorite style and why?

[Kickass]

Wheat beer in general. I also had a lienenkugel honey weiss this weekend and couldn’t have finished it without lighting up a dark cigar and scorching my taste buds first

 

[carnevoodoo]

I doubt I'll ever make a cream ale. No real interest in brewing the style, but I really don't discount any style flat out, because there are always exceptions to these rules. I've even had light lagers that were good, although it isn't something I buy regularly. You just have to find the exceptions in categories like that.

 

[Professor Frink]

Any pilsner. I just can't get myself to enjoy this style.

 

[Yooper]

I don't like wheat beers, and I've never had a fruit beer that I liked. Otherwise, I like all other beer styles but LOVE hoppy beers.

 

[Rubberband]

Following up Yooper's love hate relationship, I go the the other way. I am a big fan of the wheat beers and cannot stand Hop bombs. I like a little bit of hops but IPA's are just too much.

 

[Brewpastor]

Wheat beer - because I hate it

 

[SkewedBrewing]

I can honestly say I love all styles of beer, some a lot more than others. However, two styles that jumped into my head right away were Coffee Stouts and Kolsch.

Its not that I hate Kolsch, I just don't see the point really...

Yooper, I'm with you, I've never had a fruit beer that I've enjoyed, although the number has been limited.

I don't buy into that crap.........when you feel your teeth dissolving, and the top layer of skin on your tongue flakes off............it's overhopped.

Amen

 

[gregorywbrown13]

I also fall into the category of people that likes something about every type of beer I drink...

that said, what is with dutch lagers like heineken? I haven't had a ton of dutch lagers, but of the ones i've had i haven't found anything interesting at all. And I'll add pilsners to the group. Don't hate them, but ten times out of ten I'll take a belgian strong ale, stout, or porter instead.

 

[Brewpastor]

BMC, particularly B. I just do not like the stuff. Even ice cold at a ball game. It still tastes like Chemical Al's failed experiment.

 

[Nugent]

+1 on not being fond of hop bombs.

Love hops, but . . .

Thank you for the hearty laugh! I can get into all styles of beer., its the certain "brands" that I dislike. Never cared for Heineken

I think there's a time and a place for every beer, but I don't see myself brewing 5 gallons of an IPA any time soon. I like an occasional IPA, but only once in a while. And not enough to make 5 gallons.

 

[IanP]

Anything 'Lite', and anything flavored with coffee. I love strong black coffee, but for some reason anything flavored with coffee (beer, cake, ice cream etc.) just makes me gag.

 

[jgln]

I'm an idiot. Moose Drool comes from Montana.

I don't think it is around this area. I never saw it before anywhere so last night I went to a store I never go to but it is a big store and they did not have it either. I'll keep looking though.

 

[jgln]

If you have the opportunity please pick up Yards Brawler. It is a fantastic dark mild when enjoyed at basement temperatures. Yards is from Philly so you should be able to find it.

The store I stopped at last night only had Yards IPA so I got that. Yep, I don't really care for IPA or any other hoppy beers. I almost got lucky though, the spot in the rack where the Yards IPA was actually said Yards Variety Pack. That would have been perfect if they had that.

Oh, and at 7% I couldn't even drink them all. Had a hard time getting up this morning.

 

[stale]

Mostly the IPA's. They remind me of a lot of mexican food. Anything that overwhelms the palate so one can't taste the original ingredients whether it be beer or food.

 

[Homercidal]

Love hops! I like most every kind of beer except sour beer. I just don't care for tart stuff. I am not fond of fruit, fruit candy, sour candy, etc.

Hop Bombs may be a fad, but I love them. Went to get some Hopslam on Sunday and they were out. Bells only ships them a case at a time and you have to ask for it at the counter.

I made 2.5 gallons of barleywine because I didn't want too many sitting around, but now i wonder if I screwed up and should have just gone with 5 gallons. It's kind of expensive to brew!

When you've had a few, you find that you CAN taste the stuff. There are lots of flavors in the hops that show up once you get past the bitterness. The best hop bomb IMO are the ones that are a bit less on bitter, and full on flavor and aroma. Piney, citrus, etc.

But like I don't like sour, some don't like bitter.

 

[MaynardX]

+1 on the BMC and overly hopped beers. I like a hoppy beer every now and again, but I am really not fond of bitterness that sticks in your mouth and totally overwhelms the palate. I won't drink BMC beer unless I am held down and forced...or unless I am desperate.

 

[RICLARK]

Sweet Stouts and Oatmeal Stouts.

 

[jacksonbrown]

Not a big fan of maibocks, light american lagers, and most fruity beers. Everything has it's place, and I've been known to order the former two once in a while. But they just ain't for me.

 

[GunnerMan]

Coors Light, I guess that falls into American Tripel-Light Lager.

 

[Doog_Si_Reeb]

Smoked beer. I have only tried a couple, but they are not my cup of beer! I love barbecue, and smoked meats. I love smoked food while drinking beer. But putting that smoke in the beer drives my senses nuts, and not in a good way.

 

[Dave1]

I'm going to tell you what i like. So what i don't include i don't like.

The only beers i drink and prepared to brew is london and southwest england type bitters,copper,ruby red ales,and stouts.

My favorite easily available pub bitter is John Smiths. My favorite pub ale is copper ale. My favorite stout is Guinness.

If i'm buying specialty ales in bottles then it got to be Hobgoblin,followed closely by bishops fingers.

My favorite beer to brew is copper,ruby,dark ales.

Saying that there is loads of beers i haven't tried. One day i will brew a Belgian beer.

 

[fastricky]

Don't Like: BMC-like stuff that should go thru the horse again, Barleywine

Really Don't Like: Sour beer

Hate with a passion: Lite beer

Sorry to hear about your bad experience with the IPA. I picked up their mixed case last time I was at the distributor (ESA, IPA, Brawler, Pale Ale). The Brawler was definitely my favorite of the group. I noticed that their IPA always gave me a terrible headache the next morning - not sure why, but I'll probably be staying clear of that one too.

 

[OverHopped]

I've tried a couple of smoke beers and just don't care for them.

 

[StoutFan]

I'd have to say light lagers, and some over the top smoked beers.
