Zafkiel? Is that you?

No, but since I’ve been invoked…

So far we’ve been talking about easy targets (Bud, Miller, etc) As a side note when I started homebrewing I bought 2 cases of natty bo and poured it down the sink for the bottles. Didn’t occur to me to drink even one.

As for harder targets I’ve got two well respected beers that I just can’t drink The first is the Sam Adams triple bock. Great looking bottle but neither I nor my roommate could finish it. The other (and I’ll be branded a heretic for this) is Thomas Hardys Ale. Also a beer I couldn’t finish.

Clearly high alcohol beers are not my favorite style, but I can usually drink them and I enjoy the style from certain breweries (Stone old guardian comes immediately to mind).

So what are the harder targets?

Note I can usually drink highly fruit beers I just prefer fruit beers where I can’t identify the fruit by taste alone. I like to be able to taste the flavor but have to work hard to be sure what it is. The less sweet ones are usually preferred as well.
