I’ve had high ABV beers that actually did taste good, but they were never IPAs.

not_that_guy05 ,

Stouts and IPA are delicious.

Side note: Stone FFS bring back imperial Stout, you cunts.

“you Bastards” was right there

Zannsolo ,

As a person who likes IPAs and one of the things in the corner this meme is silly.

don ,

Would you say most walls like IPAs, or are you more of an outlier?

Zannsolo ,

I’ve never met a wall that has told me they don’t like IPAs

don ,

I’ve asked walls near me about their beer preferences, they don’t seem to have anything to say regarding the matter. Or any other matter, for that matter.

Sev5000 ,

Ah yes, I love iso propyl alcohol

don ,

Agreed! It’s really good at removing thermal paste from heat sinks on CPUs and other IC packages.

Unrelated to the OP, India Pale Ales are great-tasting beers

no no the meme is talking about the international phonetics alphabet

I’ll give you an unpopular opinion in the opposite direction. I think most sweets and desserts are cloying as fuck and can’t understand why people eat them, or at least want more than a bite or two. I pretty much only have taste buds for savory/bitter/salty tastes these days, and hot sauce and peppers are awesome.

don ,

Different people having different tastes is hardly an unpopular opinion.

tigeruppercut ,

Maybe… I’m pretty sure most people like sweet things though.

don ,

That could be, but I don’t think the average person would find your dislike of sweets to be unpopular. I’d think most would understand.

Coreidan ,

Imagine thinking everyone enjoys the same things

tigeruppercut ,

Did you comment this about the OP as well? We’re in shitpost and I was just trying to match the meme’s vibe

There’s a local 8% one that’s really good.

Pliny or Heady Topper?

Nope, Canadian.

Ah gotcha

I used up all my taste acquisition credits coming around on coffee and tolerating alcohol at all. I have zero fucks left to give when it comes to training myself to like hops. The bitter little cancerous-asshole-looking motherfuckers may be necessary but I sure as hell don’t want the entire experience shaped by them.

Skua ,

They're actually not even necessary, you can use things like heather or spruce instead. Personally I like those better

callouscomic ,

It’s true love when they fart while you’re eating.

CodexArcanum ,

I like these things but there are IPAs, peppers, and asses out there that I wouldn’t eat. I understand how it could be confusing though, when sometimes I say “this beer tastes like (bad) ass” or “this IPA is badass” or “eating this asshole is fire” or “this pepper is going to light my asshole on fire”.

IPAs are an acquired taste, but the longer you drink craft beers the more likely you are to acquire it. As your palate becomes more refined, you start to appreciate different hop characteristics. Hop varieties have a wide range of flavors: floral, grassy, piney, citrusy, tropical, skunky, etc. If you’re making a “proper” beer, a nuanced hop schedule is the easiest way to create a complex flavor. IPAs have probably the highest flavor variety of any style, and most of them are pretty good once you can appreciate hops.

Except anything with Simcoe, that stuff tastes like cat piss.

dejected_warp_core ,

I’ve tried to enjoy IPAs, really. I’m not discounting the role of interesting terpenes and flavonoids here, but the raw in-your-face excessive bitterness of IPA-level hops pushes all that great stuff so far from the stage of my experience, that it’s all left waiting in the lobby to get seated. For me, it’s like someone mixed LaCroix, light beer, and a drop of dish soap in a glass. Every time.

Try some West Coast IPAs. Pacific hops have less of that soapy bitterness with some pleasant tropical fruit notes. Galaxy is a particularly “juicy” variety, common in IPAs with “Space”, “Cosmic”, and other similar words in the name.

jewbacca117 ,

Other way around. West coast IPAs tend to be more bitter and resiny. NE IPAs are the hazy ones. Tend to be much fruitier and juicier.

agamemnonymous ,
@agamemnonymous@sh.itjust.works avatar

Both can be quite juicy, though you’re right. I should have focused on Pacific hops rather than West Coast styles, since they do feature resiny qualities in their fat hop schedules.

Rather than look at style, look for specific hops: Galaxy, Amarillo, Azaca, etc.

I developed a taste for IPAs purely through Stockholm syndrome

Fun fact: IPA stands for Indian Pale Ale. They were called that because they were shipped from England to India during the ole’ days (1800s). The purpose was to preserve the beer via it’s long journey to India. They would mellow out during the trip.

Eventually some idiots locally decided the massively hoppy beer tasted good, so it became popular in England as well, but sold as “Pale Ales”. I’ll argue it was never meant for human consumption.

There ARE craft beers that incorporate less hops and I hate that craft beer is now synonymous with hops or IPA. I hate heavy hops, but love hefeweizens, weiss, stouts, brown porters, Belgian dubble/tripels, lambics, wheats, bocks…

Baaahb ,

I love me some IPA, right up till you start adding adjectives… Hazy? Juicy? New England? West coast? No. Beer, hops, yum. Get the rest of that nonsense out of here. As a home brewer I refuse to get my Adjective IPA palate.

Leviathan ,

How do I know if it’s gonna be a hazy new england? If I get a pale west coast it won’t taste the same and I won’t like it.
