I would agree with fruit beers. I make an apricot wheat for some women folk, but I don’t really care for it. Also not a big wheat beer fan. Don’t care for Dopplebock much or sour beers. Some sour beers I enjoy, but not enough to ever brew 5 gallons or even 3 gallons.
Depends on the situation. I love a good Belgian Dark Strong Ale, but would definitely not want to drink one after mowing the lawn on a hot Florida summer day. I would put 1a, 1b, 1c at the bottom of my list like many of you, but on that same hot summer day, a fresh, ice cold one can be rather refreshing (at least the 1c 8)).
+1 to this. Also, I’m inclined to add “bottled commercial beers” to my list. I’m too often disappointed because they’ve been somehow mistreated before I get them - old, oxidized, light struck…
This is a good call. Man that stuff is disgusting. I haven’t had too many of them, but I really don’t need to. I guess I like to stick more to conventional styles.
Let me just say…FREAKIN’ FANTASTIC!!! A totally delicious beer, perfectly balanced. Sour up front, but the the mango kicks in mid palate. A throughly enjoyable experience.
Thanks so much for thinking of me when you sent them up. The mango strong was a real inspiration for me to try something crazy one of these days. When I do, you’ll be sure you get some!
