I agree with you. Beers can be super hoppy in a good way or a bad way.
theres no such thing as super hoppy in a bad way. i just hate when the damn malts get in the way of the delicious hops.

Agree. Wine in America went through the high alcohol fruit bomb red wine and oaky chardonney phases, and is now settling into a more restrained, balanced style that Europe never really lost. Beer is following a similar trajectory, with American brewers putting their own stamp on beer with these practically undrinkable hopped up, bitter bombs. Sounds like the start of burn out for the bitter style, with an increased emphasis on balance and taste.

Although, I think the first IPA I can remember trying was a Jackamo, and it turned me off IPA's for a while. At the time, I didn't realize that was one of the worst IPA's out there.

I believe the beer scene will ultimately be like the wine scene and go thru cycles where a different style is en vogue from one time to the next

Oh geez. I've seen this link all over the place today. Their troll job has obviously worked. I couldn't be bothered to read more than the first paragraph when they said their beer nerd friend didn't like an English session beer because it was too hoppy. BS that didn't happen.
First sip of Stone IPA was like fresh cut grass and a dirty sock and I LIKED it.

In all seriousness, find a Scottish guy/gal and ask what he/she thinks of single malts. Those that I've asked describe them as an "American" thing and that the reason scotch blends exist is that because single malts taste like shite. Single malts hardly sell in Scotland and if they wont drink it why should we?
I dunno... "In 2008, the top brands in the UK were Glenfiddich, followed by Glenmorangie Original, Glenlivet, Glenmorangie 10 year old, Laphroaig, Highland Park, Aberlour, Glen Moray, Isle of Jura and Talisker."
Those are all single malts.

I guess we've gone off topic now.

Your list is of the top selling single malts in Scotland. It should come as no surprise that a single malt topped the list as blends were excluded.
#1 seller by a long shot is the Grouse...

Ha, I didn't even catch the title of the article saying single malts.
Regardless, I like single malts, I'll keep buying and drinking them over the blends.

I've been known to drink them from time to time myself...

That being said, look at the best-selling anything world wide... it's not usually what anyone with a discerning palate would consider the best.

Interesting.
Like a few others on here, I can't stand the bitter flavor of hops.
Malt, on the other hand, I would be happy to drown in.

Agreed.
For the same reason I don't drink Chanel No.5.

Me too. To me the smell is at least 1/2 of what I want in a good beer.

I agree with you on that.
