What beer are you drinking RIGHT NOW?

i made the mistake of letting my w1f3 try it. had to share the last 1/4 can... rookie move.

Don't let them try it, and don't let them know how much it costs.

Are we talking beer or bikes?

I could only find these in Staten Island after a friend brought more a can from Florida. Incredibly smooth and perfect for summer.

Can you say Skadoosh?

So out of curiosity, do you guys drink anything other then IPA's? I can't get past the bitterness and I've tried a shload of them. I've always wondered, do you find the bitterness enjoyable or does it not taste bitter to you?

Magnify Copius Amounts of Pineapple Juice. Better than expected. I thought it tasted a lot better out of the can tonight compared to on draught at Magnify yesterday.

I don't taste bitter, just different hop notes and flavors. But I also like sour beers so bitter is a plus for me. On the flip side I can't get past the malt in most beers and IPAs I used to drink.

Been working late the past week or two and beer fridge is missing last Bissell, Trillium and a few magnify.... 1/4 can turns into missing four packs quickly.

Try Galaxy X2
the light bitter is balanced with a sweet caramel. much different than many.

other balancing acts are pulled off with citra hops. that produces a citrus flavor - could be lemon, grapefruit, or other.
this is done without adding the fruit, although many are "enhanced"

the purely bitter ipa is losing favor to these more complex and balanced brews. There was a discussion about them
really being "beer" anymore.

it may be an acquired taste, but i've moved away from things(food/snacks/drinks) that are sweet - so the bitter is never that bad.

I'm with you, I perceive bitter very strongly and don't enjoy beers with high IBU ratings so basically avoid them.
