Title: The taste of Beer
Post by: tp4tissue on Sun, 31 August 2025, 18:04:50
How would you describe it?

Tp4 feels, the most similar thing to beer, taste+smell, is raw chicken breast.
:eek:

Personally I'm currently a big fan of fruited sour ales, which taste kinda like rotted fruit

Have a local place called Small Pony Barrel Works, so damn tasty.

Oh man they have a lot of good stuff on their site. A lot of sours and saisons, 2 of my favorite type of beer.

If tp4 thinks that beer has one taste, then there is a lot of beer out there for tp4 yet to discover...

I like traditional traditional German and Czech beer.
I tasted sour beer once and did not like it.
Not a fan of citrus hops. Of the APA and IPA I've tasted, I've only liked a couple that toned it down a bit.

Oh man, you might like Japanese style rice lagers. Super crisp and extremely refreshing when ice cold w/ a little squirt of lemon.

They also occasionally do gnarly aged stouts. Recently had the five they offer. Years ago they did a pudding stout that was just, hilarious...ever can opener a beer?

I generally go for beers that are bitter and hoppy, but others can be excellent in their own ways. I usually do not like sweet or sour tastes in beer.

In a common situation, everything else being equal, I will just order an IPA.

Traditional Germans are so good.
I cannot stand sours. Even some ciders are too tart for my palette.
Some IPA's are too bitter, but I do enjoy those with a citrus finish, especially ones with high ABV.

If I were stranded on a deserted isle with only one chose of beer it would be Dragon's Milk imperial stout.
