Least Favorite Styles

Sigh. Enlighten us

 

Smoked beers/Rauchbiers
Oktoberfests/Marzens
Light Lager

 

Beers that have been in a Bourbon barrel. I don't like Bourbon. There are a few exceptions here.
Phenolic beers like German Wheats. Anything with phenolic peat.
Sours. I like them but do not like the Acid Reflux that follows.

Many of the beers listed are ones that I like. The family of lagers. Smoked beers, as long as it does not have Peat phenolics. Some pepper beers I find very tasty if the heat is not overdone.

 

Oktoberfests, anything AAL, and any type of Bock... However, if offered, beer is beer.

 

i stay away from any beer that says Belgian style or Belgo

 

troeggs dopplebock was my first drain pour in a year.

 

belgian quadruples. i respect all tastes and opinions but to me they all taste the same; a hint of belgian yeast and an overpowering alcohol taste.

 

My new least favorite (by a mile) is the "Session IPA." They're watery and have no malt yet they cost the same as a normal IPA and have much less flavor than an APA that's only negligibly stronger.
I have yet to taste one that can even hold a candle to to the 5.0ABV Hazed and Infused which doesn't have to market itself as such.

 

Barley Wines: Not my thing though I have had a couple decent ones
Double+ IPAs: Most of the ones I try are a hot mess and equate to hangover city

Douple/Impy Stouts: I still love many high alcohol stouts and no doubt will have some amazing ones in the future but overall few of them really impress me anymore

 

Pale lagers, pale ales, and any belgian style that isnt a good thick quad, saison/frm house to... That funky yeast kills it for me

 

Browns, ambers, and anything thin and watery

 

AAL's and Chile beers. Haven't had a really good one of either. On the opposite spectrum I would like to find a sour that is sold year round that is reasonably priced.

 

I'm not going to include the Miller Lite, Coors Light, Corona, etc. types of beers. A

As for craft beers, I'd have to say barleywine, anything pumpkin, or anything with an overly strong ginger taste.

 

I like most things but as I get more into beer I've realized I like to keep it somewhat simple. I'm not into the whole "hazelnut toffee chocolate jalapeno infused ale" thing that seems to be so popular.

 

Second Belgians and I don't care for wheat beers or fruit flavored beers.

 

Winter Warmers!!

 

American Wheat for me. Just doesn't seem to be too much there. I get more out of a well-made American Adjunct Lager, in the rare occasion I find one (usually home-brewed or from some small micro at GABF or some festival...)

 

It depends on the beer itself I have had awesome version's of every stile. I have had bad version's of every stile, in my opinion it's all up to the brewer to make it great or not every beer could be great! Cheers.

 

Session IPAs, don't necessarily hate the beer itself but I can't stand the name, the marketing must work well since every other brewery is coming out with a 'Session IPA'.

 

Second that. That Belgian yeast makes me gassy as heck, but I'm still working my way through all the standards (Rochefort, St. Bernardus, etc.), so maybe it'll change. Same with wheat beers -- the American stuff in particular I just can't abide. I can dig some of the German staples like Franziskaner, but even then they certainly aren't stuff I actively seek out.
