How do you know that this beer is available to the OP?

Oh, screw him, I want to do the experiment on myself; I figger I'll have to
have at least six pints a day for a week to prove my hypothesis.

There's 4 directions your taste buds can go. Bitter, sweet, sour, salty.
Well, you're not going to find a salty beer, so if you don't like bitter,
that leaves two directions.... sweet and sour.

Or maybe bitter. I've seen plenty of people who say they don't like
"bitter," when it's not actually a bitter taste they're reacting to. There's
something they don't like there, they can't put their finger on it, and
that's the best they can come up with. It may actually be the acetaldehyde
flavor in Bud they don't like, or the corny/sulfury notes in some industrial
lagers have or any of the other things in there that aren't particularly
tasty.

Now that's the Lewie I know and wuv. Drink up, big guy.

Had a nice little session earlier today sampling Unibroue's
range. Not a bad thing to do on a Wednesday.

Krikey yes. SOMEbody has got to get conversation going. And bitter Bud is
a fun one.

Alsmost as good as the guy who railed (in the rec.crafts.brewing
newsgroup IIRC) on Sierra Nevada Pale Ale as undrinkable hop juice.

You mean that bitter stuff?

Bitter, as heavy as 10W30 motor oil, and really, really
alcoholic. Nasty stuff, that.

I disagree. I have found beers for people who hate beer. Most of the
complaints I get from beer-haters is its too bitter. Megaswill doesn't seem
bitter by our standards, but it still has a bitter edge.

A lady I know, who "doesn't like beer" encountered a glass of Anchor
Liberty, I treacherously slipped into her hand a few months back.
Whithin minutes she was looking very happy, and told me "y'know, I like
that one because it's not bitter" ... there you are, three times the
bitterness units of a Bud, yet it does not seem bitter... just shows how
biased the idea of bitterness people have can be.

Cheers !
