(hopped) Beer tastes like utter shit and I don't understand how anyone can stomach the equivalent of watering down unsweetened cacao with a worse aftertaste and the lack of alcohol content to actually make you drunk, with the additional negative that you're basically drinking bad tasting bread so you're gonna become fat
Liking beer or not is a matter of personal tastes. However, if the beer tastes like "watered down unsweetened cocoa", then it's probably poor quality beer. Good beer should taste different from everything, even other beers.
Dreadbeef recommended IPA; if you're into bitter flavours, I also recommend it. There's also sweet stouts if you like sweeter ones. (Juuust in case you're here from LatAm, note mass produced pilsener are typically really bland and meh. A lot of people like it this way, that's fine, but it would explain why you think it's watered down cocoa.)
IPA usually means "fruity flavour" now. IPAs haven't been bitter in the last few years, much to my disappointment; I really like old style IPA.
Dunno if sold outside the southern cone, but I recommend the IPAs from the brand Patagonia. They do have some fruitiness, but it's kind of subtle, and you only feel it after all that typical IPA bitterness.
ipa good
Old style IPA also is good but it's nothing like what IPA means now
IPA used to (and still does in some places and to some people) high alcohol (6 to 8%), low malt flavour, very bitter, no hop flavour
It was made for export to India (hence the name) in the age of sail, they believed the hop bitters and alcohol would make it last long enough for the 3 month trip plus however long it took to be sold.
it's a self-propagating cult
It makes my stomach hurt. Sour Beer master race.
