What types of beer would you recommend?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Personally I'm more of a pilsner guy. I just hate the bitterness of IPA's.

Bitter is the flavor of hops. IPA's are made with a ridiculous amount of hops. I prefer beer with lower amounts of hops.

Bitter is the flavor of hops.

It very much depends on how you apply the hops. New England style IPAs aren't bitter at all (very low IBU comparable to some pilsners in fact), even though it is probably the type of beer which has the most hops added. The hops are added in the form of aroma hops, which usually provides a citrus flavour instead of the bitterness of bittering hops.

I wish that was how American IPA's worked. 90% of them are bitter af. Like I'd rather eat an entire grapefruit than drink the average American IPA
