IPAs that don't taste like dish soap

Derp, sorry for the facetiousness ( is that a word ? )

 

Some people get soap when they taste cilantro, that is about 20% of the population due to their genetics.

Here is some information on soap taste in heavily hopped beers, read the Noonan section, he knew his stuff as a brewer and an author on beer and brewing. Find an IPA that has Burtonized water - high sulfates.
"Hoppy beers sometimes have an unpleasant soapy flavor. Calcium sulfate eliminates soapy flavors and accentuates a clean, piquant hop bitterness."

I've never tasted dish soap. If I do, will it taste like Jai Alai?

 

I worked all niight and have had 3 beers , looks like a word to me

 

Haha me too, shift ended at 9 this morning, I'm about 3 beers in also.

 

Nice glad to know Im not drinking alone this morning , well I guess I kind of am ,but Cheers anyhow

 

Lol, cheers. People I room with think it's pretty weird, they just don't understand that this is my evening time!

 

I've heard that from multiple females (strangely) I've given IPAs to. I just don't understand where you are getting that from.

 

torpedo, dogfish 60 or 90,

 

Many times when I have Harpoon IPA it tastes like someone put a bar of soap in my mouth. A couple other beers have done that to me too. Possibly SNPA but I cant remember. It may have to do with how different palates interpret hop astringency.

I'd suggest any fruity west coast style IPA with lots of late hop additions.

 

Just drink a couple IPA's every day, you'll get there.

 

If it was flower or citrus scented dish soap then maybe I could see that. +1 for giving some good pales a try first, Sierra Nevada Pale, Mirror Pond, something of that sort. But you may just not like hoppy beers. If you wanna skip the pales, Bridgeport IPA is melllllllow.

 

Since you don't remember than I think you need to go get an IPA, Drink it, and report back to us. Looks like you're in MA so Ithaca Flower Power should be available to you, give that one a try. If that tastes like soap to you then I'm afraid you're in need of a taste bud transplant.

 

Closest ive came to dish soap was the mouthfeel on Stone 16th anny. Still enjoyed it though.

 

Schlafly T IPA. Not a "typical" IPA by any means, I'm not the biggest IPA fan and I love that stuff.

 

I sometimes (rarely) get a subtle soapy-like quality from IPAs, and I drink them ALL THE TIME. But usually it's so minute that it doesn't ever bother me. I'm guessing that some people are hyper sensitive to certain hop varieties that may display this quality - not sure which ones, though.

 

I guess I love washing my mouth out with soap then.

 

This is person to person. I usually get the "it tastes like cough medicine" from people i offer a good IPA to. I can see where they get the dish soap reference, but its minute at most and very rare.
