That's because you are a pussy. You have to drink it regular to not get a headache instantly. I don't get headaches anymore.
Depends on the selectivity and cognitive ability of the taster There are a number of beer compounds that are thought of as faults becuase when made properly (ie they are controllable via ingredients, process, and handling), they do not express themselves at high levels. Some of these are appopriate at certain levels in certain style's but are otherwise considered within brewing science as faults: *Acetaldehyde *phenols *DMS *diacetyl *fusel alcohols and quite a few others. That said, I agree with Mongo; if you like or don't like something, it is what it is, and may or may not have anything to due with faults.
I agree with all those who said Sam Adams is crap. That overhopped taste feels like Im drinking soggy bread instead of beer.
Back when I was a student (and had no money), I tasted some pretty awful homebrews. Made me appreciate almost anything made to a commercial standard!
They make Stag five minutes from your house (well, they used to, anyway). Recognize for the locals, bish! And I hate to agree with the Navy fairy, but I was in a Schlafly's brew pub and ordered a beer sampler. One of them was purple. I'm adventurous, so I tried it. Easily the best beer I had there, and I've been trying to get some to travel ever since. It's some sort of blueberry ale, and they only sell it in growlers. They need to bottle it.
I need to make another batch of homebrew. The last I made was not too bad. At least all the people with our ride group seemed to like it at the cabin after the day's canyon carving.
I personally like landshark, open the bottle and fill the neck with a lime tequilla... its good... n since I can't get Yuengling Lager out here I gotta fly home to get it. o and guinesse extra stout... if you don't get a bad bottle its good.
