Really Good Beer

I have yet to have the chance to try even ONE glass of homemade beer. And time is running out.
I am one of those occasional drinkers who is more partial to beer rather than ale. For some reason, the taste of even the most so-called excellent ales always has a bitter undertaste for me. It never tastes anything remotely like beer should taste in my opinion.
Very few places I have been to serve their beer at a cold enough temperature for me. I think I like it just this side of forming ice crystals in the bottle (I seldom drink cans for this very reason).
And one beer is totally fine with me. More than two and my fuzzy demeanor interferes with my living a good life. I don't like getting drunk because I used to practice getting that way often when I was younger.
the only reason to drink an ipa
is
you don't have the time or the money to drink a few beers

I've saved a bottle of Hobgoblin to have with a DVD tonight. Strong and hoppy.
Our PM David Cameron gave Obama a bottle at the G20, but he responded that he would drink it chilled! Heathen.

Me too. But I recently discovered that its only the bitterness, especially in the aftertaste, that I don't like from the hops. I really like the flavor and aroma. I just started homebrewing and I have a pale ale experiment fermenting right now to see if I can brew something hoppy that I like, without so much bitterness.
But I really love Ambers, Scottish Ales, and Belgians.
my son brews his own
that is a lot of work
my rules are:
drink local
drink draft
drink ale
drink amber
try anything once
But I also have a case of this. Ya know, to man up a bit. :noid:
I've been enjoying this sampler. Especially the Snow Wit White IPA.
I also have a bottle of this in the fridge. Dogfish Head 120 minute IPA

If I had any motivation at all I would make more Bitter Amber. It had just the right amount of hops and the aftertaste was very smooth.

Just poured myself a rather meaty beer. A Konrad's Stout from Lervig brewers reserve series. It is a Russian Imperial Stout. It clocks in at 10,4%, so better take it slow 
Nice powdered dark chocolate (like the start of a chocolate truffle), espresso and a nice roasted almost leathery aftertaste. Surprisingly fizzy for a stout, some alcohol on the taste, but not much, especially considering the strength of this beer.
