    80% of IPAs are crap. IPAs are suppose to be balanced. The more hoppiness (bitterness) the more body (sweetness) is required. Hops are cheap, grain (malty sweetness) is expensive. So called craft brewers just bitter the crap out of an ale and call it an IPA.

    A good IPA will be heavier than a normal ale.

    So forget the IPAs! The are a lot of great beer styles. I love an ESB (extra special bitter) which isn't very heavy or bitter! I love Sam Adams Lager and Ale. Either are super tasty with complex flavors that are delicious but not over-powering!

    I would also add that a lot of craft beers are just produce terrible batches but a small brewer can't afford to throw out a bad batch. Nasty flavors are not supposed to be part of good beer. Cardboard flavor (too much oxygen got into the beer) band-aid flavor (phenols were created) etc.

    Larger brewers like Miller and Bud have incredible levels of consistency. Hard to do on a small scale.

    Quoted from MotorCityMatt:

    The new beer fad is out of control and way over rated I believe. They are making a shit ton of money on people though.

    I have to giggle at the notion of this being a beer fad. No the American Pilsner (such as Bud) was a fad that started after WWII that lasted far too long. Beer was a local brewery thing with thousands of style before prohibition killed off the local breweries.

    This new fad (rebirth) began in the late 80s.

    Quoted from mcluvin:

    I think the nastiest beer I ever tried had a buttery taste. Awful!

    I think buttery taste is diacytal. Caused by a runaway bacteria in the fermentation process. Again, brewer makes a bad batch and doesn't dump it out.

    Wit (white) beers are a great summer beer. I love Blue Moon. Have the server not put in an orange slice though.
