IPAs are an acquired taste, but the longer you drink craft beers the more likely you are to acquire it. As your palate becomes more refined, you start to appreciate different hop characteristics. Hop varieties have a wide range of flavors: floral, grassy, piney, citrusy, tropical, skunky, etc. If you're making a "proper" beer, a nuanced hop schedule is the easiest way to create a complex flavor. IPAs have probably the highest flavor variety of any style, and most of them are pretty good once you can appreciate hops.

Except anything with Simcoe, that stuff tastes like cat piss.

[–] dejected_warp_core@lemmy.world 14 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I've tried to enjoy IPAs, really. I'm not discounting the role of interesting terpenes and flavonoids here, but the raw in-your-face excessive bitterness of IPA-level hops pushes all that great stuff so far from the stage of my experience, that it's all left waiting in the lobby to get seated. For me, it's like someone mixed LaCroix, light beer, and a drop of dish soap in a glass. Every time.

[–] agamemnonymous@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Try some West Coast IPAs. Pacific hops have less of that soapy bitterness with some pleasant tropical fruit notes. Galaxy is a particularly "juicy" variety, common in IPAs with "Space", "Cosmic", and other similar words in the name.

[–] jewbacca117@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Other way around. West coast IPAs tend to be more bitter and resiny. NE IPAs are the hazy ones. Tend to be much fruitier and juicier.

[–] agamemnonymous@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 months ago

Both can be quite juicy, though you're right. I should have focused on Pacific hops rather than West Coast styles, since they do feature resiny qualities in their fat hop schedules.

Rather than look at style, look for specific hops: Galaxy, Amarillo, Azaca, etc.

[–] tacosplease@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Drink IPA without letting any air into your mouth and keep your tongue somewhat pressed against the roof of your mouth. It seems to block off the taste buds on top of the tongue and lets the beer wash around the sides of the tongue instead. This reduces the in-your-face bitterness and allows the secondary flavors to be noticed. At least that's how I started appreciating IPAs.

I was with you until the last sentence... From that, it's obvious you have no idea what you're talking about. /s

Stouts and IPA are delicious.

Side note: Stone FFS bring back imperial Stout, you cunts.

[–] agamemnonymous@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 months ago

"you Bastards" was right there

[–] Zannsolo@lemmy.world 16 points 2 months ago (2 children)

As a person who likes IPAs and one of the things in the corner this meme is silly.

[–] don@lemm.ee 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Would you say most walls like IPAs, or are you more of an outlier?

[–] Zannsolo@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I've never met a wall that has told me they don't like IPAs

[–] don@lemm.ee 3 points 2 months ago

I’ve asked walls near me about their beer preferences, they don’t seem to have anything to say regarding the matter. Or any other matter, for that matter.

[–] MeatPilot@lemmy.world 14 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Fun fact: IPA stands for Indian Pale Ale. They were called that because they were shipped from England to India during the ole' days (1800s). The purpose was to preserve the beer via it's long journey to India. They would mellow out during the trip.

Eventually some idiots locally decided the massively hoppy beer tasted good, so it became popular in England as well, but sold as "Pale Ales". I'll argue it was never meant for human consumption.

There ARE craft beers that incorporate less hops and I hate that craft beer is now synonymous with hops or IPA. I hate heavy hops, but love hefeweizens, weiss, stouts, brown porters, Belgian dubble/tripels, lambics, wheats, bocks...

[–] r00ty@kbin.life 1 points 2 months ago

Nah my local expensive hipster craft beer place usually has 6 on tap. One will usually be a UK style ipa, 2-3 others will be a mix of USA/oceana style pale ales. One local brewery and one non pale ale (blonde, Porter, stout etc)

But you really can't tell until you try them.

[–] DudeImMacGyver@sh.itjust.works 14 points 2 months ago

I've had high ABV beers that actually did taste good, but they were never IPAs.

[–] tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 12 points 2 months ago (5 children)

I'll give you an unpopular opinion in the opposite direction. I think most sweets and desserts are cloying as fuck and can't understand why people eat them, or at least want more than a bite or two. I pretty much only have taste buds for savory/bitter/salty tastes these days, and hot sauce and peppers are awesome.

[–] don@lemm.ee 10 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Different people having different tastes is hardly an unpopular opinion.

[–] tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Maybe... I'm pretty sure most people like sweet things though.

[–] don@lemm.ee 3 points 2 months ago

That could be, but I don’t think the average person would find your dislike of sweets to be unpopular. I’d think most would understand.

[–] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 2 months ago

this depends heavily on the specific candy/dessert IMO, solid sugar candy is fine because it dissolves slowly, but some stuff just detonates a sugar bomb on your tongue and it genuinely makes me shudder in bone-deep rejection of something that must be poison.

Swedish desserts are generally really enjoyable to me because they have a bunch of savoury with the sugar mostly coming from some sort of jelly or stuffing, like in cinnamon buns.

[–] Coreidan@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Imagine thinking everyone enjoys the same things

[–] tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 months ago

Did you comment this about the OP as well? We're in shitpost and I was just trying to match the meme's vibe

Just get your partner to wash their ass! It's also recommended to get an enema. Well, unless you're into that kind of thing, just make sure you're not immunocompromised.

[–] Sev5000@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Ah yes, I love iso propyl alcohol

[–] don@lemm.ee 5 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Agreed! It’s really good at removing thermal paste from heat sinks on CPUs and other IC packages.

Unrelated to the OP, India Pale Ales are great-tasting beers

[–] moosetwin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

no no the meme is talking about the international phonetics alphabet

[–] CodexArcanum@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago

I like these things but there are IPAs, peppers, and asses out there that I wouldn't eat. I understand how it could be confusing though, when sometimes I say "this beer tastes like (bad) ass" or "this IPA is badass" or "eating this asshole is fire" or "this pepper is going to light my asshole on fire".

[–] CeruleanRuin@lemmings.world 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Am I supposed to know what a pepperhead is?

[–] YerbaYerba@lemm.ee 11 points 2 months ago

People who like eating spicy peppers

[–] wjrii@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

I used up all my taste acquisition credits coming around on coffee and tolerating alcohol at all. I have zero fucks left to give when it comes to training myself to like hops. The bitter little cancerous-asshole-looking motherfuckers may be necessary but I sure as hell don't want the entire experience shaped by them.

[–] Skua@kbin.earth 4 points 2 months ago

They're actually not even necessary, you can use things like heather or spruce instead. Personally I like those better

[–] DumbAceDragon@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 months ago

I developed a taste for IPAs purely through Stockholm syndrome

[–] callouscomic@lemm.ee 4 points 2 months ago

It's true love when they fart while you're eating.

[–] SandbagTiara2816@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Sometimes I want something bitter. If I want hot and bitter, I’ll drink coffee. If I want cold and bitter, I’ll have an IPA. I also like dark chocolate. Must just be something about bitterness that I enjoy.

[–] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

beer is bitter. IPAs are sour.

I love beer. Fuck IPAs

Thank you! IPA sucks ass. Get something tasty like a blonde or triple.

[–] tiredofsametab@fedia.io 2 points 2 months ago

I really shouldn't be having beer at all anymore, but I actually came to like a number of fairly hoppy IPAs. I do have issues with certain bitter things, but not others; I love black coffee, but I can't stand high-cacao dark chocolate and some herbs with bitter notes.

[–] azalty@jlai.lu 2 points 2 months ago

Me wondering why and how can people taste an iPhone app file (.ipa)

Yes, 🤓

[–] TokenBoomer@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Ales and lagers are better

[–] Baaahb@feddit.nl 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I love me some IPA, right up till you start adding adjectives... Hazy? Juicy? New England? West coast? No. Beer, hops, yum. Get the rest of that nonsense out of here. As a home brewer I refuse to get my Adjective IPA palate.

[–] Leviathan@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

How do I know if it's gonna be a hazy new england? If I get a pale west coast it won't taste the same and I won't like it.
