What Do You Think It Tastes Like???

Well it is an IPA so I am going to guess that it tastes nasty! That is unless it is served in a tort mug, then it will be delicious!
Yay! More for me!
I'm also a little tired of the "craft beer revolution" as it exists today. I started drinking craft beer back in 2000, when it was called "microbrew". It wasn't until about 2008 that everyone and their brother started making and drinking the stuff.
Don't get me wrong, I love me some IPAs. But there is way more to beer than extreme.

I've noticed the last few years that IPAs are getting to be more balanced on average. For a while it was just a little more than hop extract in a bottle; brewers were just trying to out-hop each other. There's still too damn many IPAs (and not enough stouts, porters, and ambers), but at least they're good now.

Tastes like an old, flat g-string.
Flat tortoiseshell?
Tastes like "P"?

If they serve flat beer in a tort mug the Fender guys will be in heaven! They'll never drink anything else!

I started brewing my own a few decades back; I find no joy at all in the "who can be hoppier than the next" foolishness ( I grow 4 types of hops, and none are over 5% AA - instead they actually have odd things called flavor and aroma - several are even "noble") My default aiming point is black and thick, with Samuel Smith's Oatmeal Stout as the closest commercial item (though I'm more prone to buy fruity lambics, since I can't make something in THAT ballpark easily) and I've had a few pleasantly shocked reactions to my homebrew since the gawdawful rise of the over-hopped American IPA - obviously not from over-hopped American IPA fans., but from folks who had resigned themselves to over-hopped being the default mode of Homebrew, as it seems to be for so many these days.
I rather enjoy making a nice session beer that still fits my aiming point, but then, I don't have much love for the "how high-test can I make it" or "how drunk can I get" foolishness, either. The whole point of a (proper) session beer is that you can have a couple of tasty pints without getting wrecked. Tasty is at least as important as "low-test" in that (proper) sense; it's a bit of a challenge to get that right.
