    I've got a couple:
    1. Gateway. Once this was a useful term and now the majority of its use seems to be as a backhanded compliment to imply that the beer in question isn't a serious or legitimate craft beer.
    2. Didn't "wow" me. So many people love to cite that the subtle, true-to-style beer they're drinking or reviewing didn't knock their socks off. They'll say it's really well-made but it didn't "wow" them. Really? You mean the pale lager, wheat ale, or brown ale you drank wasn't amazing? Well no sh*t. That's really not what those types of beers are about.

    Hear, hear! except I reserve the right to be 'wow-ed' by a beer of any style at any time. :slight_smile:

    hop bill

    -usually associated with a somewhat pompous air of one attempting a more informed comment than the other person.

    Give it a rest. :confused:

    Dank. I really want to punch people in the face who say this, or smash the glass of beer they're describing over their fucking heads.

    'Bad' or 'terrible' beer when the person was trying to say 'I don't like this style.' Bad mouthing a beer for the wrong reason is 'bad.'

    "Price Point." Just want to punch people that refer to such and such a beer at a certain "price point."

    Be nice if everyone disliking the use of certain words in reviews, etc. would also suggest suitable alternatives that would work instead.

    All this free-word association stuff people do with reviews. They rattle off 15 different things in aroma alone. Like, what the fuck are you talking about?
