Belgian tripel. Sounds awesome but, Last one I tried I dumped 3/4 down the drain. It was like sipping a horrible hard liqour, Couldn't do it. I got a bomber out of the deal though.. An expensive bomber
I couldn't agree with you more. "Most" of the IPA's I have tried are so damned bitter, with the exception of Sierra Nevada's "RUTHLESS RYE" IPA. That is a very good product IMO.For me it's IPA's. I love the smell and flavor of hops, but i can't bring myself to enjoy anything over 40-45 IBU's unless it has a decent maltiness to offset the bitterness, like a RIS. To each their own.
Porters, and Stouts. Yuck. Who wants to drink burned beer? Give me a hoppy pilsner or three, then a couple tongue twisting IPAs. Yum.

Same here. I don't like Belgian style beers. That spicy yeast profile just doesn't do it for me. I want to like them and I try... It just won't happen.
It's a shame too because that is a whole other set of beers that would be fun to brew.
OP: "Beers You Want to Like... But Don't"
My tastes run to the darker and hoppier types, but I don't actively dislike any beer I can think of. If I were in the position of the OP, I would be more likely to ask myself "Why do I feel this way?" rather than "Why don't I like this beer?"
Ain't no 'countin for tastes....
Avoid sweet krieks from Lindemans, Mort Subite, St-Louis, Kriek Max,...
Experimental beers.
"this beer is made with fermented shark skin, with just a hint of rosemary and mint."
Just because you can, does not mean you should.

50 to 55 IBU is about the max for me. Anything above that is getting too bitter for my palate.
I guess that's why I brew a lot of pale ales and IPA's. I hop burst so I get the flavors without the extreme bitterness.
wee heavy not sure I want to like them other than to say I'm drinking a weeeee heaveh in a ridiculous accent when someone asks.
I REEEEALLY want to like hefes. The romance is there, the simplicity, the tradition. But I just can't seem to enjoy the banana-clove thing. Closest I got was a fresh version of SN's Kellerweiss when I visited the brewery in January. Even then, I could only get through about half a pint of the stuff.
