Beers you don't "get".

Easy one for me: Short's Huma Lupa Licious. Haven't tried it in years, it was so harsh to me. Outstanding rating here, from my favorite brewer, and I can't do it.

 

most everything stone makes with the exception of their classic stone IPA, everyone raves about them and they are not bad by any stretch of the imagination, but I have had ruination, I have had cali-belgique (gross), I have had delicious, their saison (bland and inspired if I've ever tasted it), I have had their green tea IPA (also gross) and one or two others (Arrogant bastard of course) and they are nothing special, they strike me as beers that get by on their namesake and their rep as big bad hoppy bastards, which I'm sorry I've never found to really be the case, don't get me wrong they are hoppy but no more than most things that are comparable. Sorry stone most of your stuff is just okay

great thread topic by the way

 

Bell's Two Hearted Ale. It's not bad, I just don't understand all the love for this beer.

 

It's been a while but I seem to recall feeling the same way

 

gubna

 

Heady Topper. Great aroma, but the finish is so sweet it's almost a chore to finish an entire can.

 

PBR

 

it's dirt cheap what's there to get, I don't especially like but that's the reason

 

Ditto. Nothing special. And Flower Power--weird, artificial citrus finish. SOS had a weird smell/aftertaste too.

 

KBS. If it was easier to get no one would give a shit about it.

Backwoods Bastard is where its at

 

I never wanted to be a guy who disliked certain styles but thats it for me, not a specific beer. One specific though is Boat by carton. While i enjoy it, theres just something about it that wont sit well with me and it takes me a while to finish one. Maybe its a "grapefruit" essence and what i taste is heavy hops and super light body but thats my preference that i enjoy heavier ipas. I can not get into english beer, such as english ipa. They are all that ive had at least, very sweet and like a musty malt to them. Had one the other day that was almost cocoa like in flavor. Id still drink one, but not my thing. But some positive now, ive recently started to love DIPAs

 

not your father's root beer

 

Ballast Point Grunion

 

Sierra Nevada anything (Torpedo, Pale Ale, Stout, Porter and Hop Hunter)

EDIT: Please don't report me

 

Oskar Blues.

Ten Fidy is fine, but I don't get Mamas little yellow pils, or Dales pale ale.

 

I love the pale ale it's kinda a classic, just outta curiousity, why don't you like it?

 

I thought Hop Hunter was a pleasant surprise. But if you get an old/bad batch its pure lemon water.

 

Yeah I realize it's the beer that brought craft beer into a wider market; however to me it's too dry and bitter. I'm surprised that you didn't like ruination by Stone. Have you tried 2.0??

 

Bell's two hearted for me as well... I've had it and been like this is pretty good and other times just struggle to finish it... also Tropicalia don't get me wrong a really good to great beer but when I think of other beers of a similar build that are much easier to find I don't see them being that far apart.
