Default Is beer supposed to taste bitter?



all the beers that I'm trying are tasting really bitter.
Just as a few examples: amstel, heineken, guinness.
Are there any beers out there that taste good?
thanx

"Or you might like an ale..."

er..in the UK ale is commonly called "bitter", its usually much more
heavily hopped than lager.

On the original question. Yes. Beer is supposed to be bitter. The
only beers that aren't are:

Belgian Lambics - which are sour

Dreadfull watery brews like "Bud" (the American, not the Czec version)
etc. But here you're better off with Perrier.

"correcting" him.

A good bitter is properly balanced.


And Scottish ales which are heavily malty.

German beers are nicely balanced.

American lagers are more dry than bitter.

And Guinness - sorry, Guines - is very heavy, I suppose?
God, generalisations!

asdf a écrit :

Define "taste good", please.

Basically, bitterness is what most decent beers are about.

So if you idea of "taste good" can't include bitterness... well, come
back in ten year's time, your tastebuds may hav eevolved then.
