    Top 3:

    IPA/Double IPA/Pale Ale (I fail to draw the line in distinction, to me they're all pale ales but with varying degrees of dankness)
    Stouts
    Belgian Quads

    Bottom 3:

    AAL
    Malt Liquor
    AA Fruit beers (like Bud Light Lime)

    Top: DIPA / IPA / PA, Stout / Imperial Stout, Pale Lager
    Bottom: Black IPA, Belgian Wheat, Tripel (I haven't had many of the last two, but not a huge fan of the ones that I have tried. I have had a few Black IPA's and can't imagine that I will ever have another one.)
     
  15. Dredgy

    Dredgy Initiate (0) Jun 1, 2016 Australia

    I like clean and flavourful, though there are no styles I outright dislike (Black IPA has the highest miss rate for me, but I've found 2 or 3 I enjoy)

    Top 3:
    Lager (suck it up)
    Rauchbier
    Red Ale

    Bottom 3:
    Dubel/Tripel/Quadrupel
    Black IPA
    Hefeweizen

    And that's generalizing a lot - there are a lot of Hefeweizens and a couple of Black IPAS I enjoy, and my favourite beer is a herb beer, which is generally a category I dislike.

    "Light" American lagers
     
  17. CantankerousCaveBear

    CantankerousCaveBear Initiate (0) Jul 26, 2015 Canada (ON)

    Hard to narrow things down.

    Favorite: 1) Imperial Stouts, not necessarily BA 2) Quads 3) English Barleywines + Old Ales
    Also huge proponent of more 'robust' malt presence in IIPAs.

    Least: 1) AAL/Euro Lagers 2) Radlers/ any Fruit oriented beers 3) a) Marzen b) Kolsch
    4) Session IPAs (many possess a watery finish.. don't know if that's my palate)

    I have been sampling beers from different countries, and I have come to the conclusion that I don't really care much for those of the Euro Dark Lager style. Every time I try one of these, I think doppelbock-flavored soda.
