I'd try a broccoli cheddar beer before literally any IPA. Yuck.
But this is an IPA
And it is for that reason alone that I will not drink it.
I honestly don’t get the hype. They literally taste like earwax
i mean, all beer does lol
fuck knows why you'd add bittering agents to a beverage, like mmm yes today i want to drink something poison flavour
It's a preservative.
ah right, so you can put off drinking the stuff for longer, makes sense!
Exactly! I certainly don't want to drink something that's dominated by the taste of preservative.
Beer (and wine) has to be really sweet at the start of the fermenting process, because that sugar is what feeds the yeast. If you don't add any hops, then the resulting beverage tends to be malty sweet and very one dimensional. The hops cut down and balance the sweetness.
you mean if you don't add hops it's actually malty and enjoyable? wow, now i hate beer even more!
You can get those kinds of beers.
Same. I don't get why people are so crazy about IPA, or any strongly-hopped beer style. And why Guinness and Kilkenny are the only two British or Irish beers sold here (Kilkenny is good but it gets old drinking the same beer all the time, and Guinness only works for me when it's on tap).
