Doubles or tripples might not be a bad start.Alright, I’ll take some heat.
I’m 27, and I hate beer. Hate it. Hate everything about it. But... I’m forcing myself to drink it to develop my palate and willingness to not be a square. I’m going head first. Personal mission.
I drank this shandy thing my fiancé likes, and it was t atrocious. I’ve ruled out sour ales. I tried this one from Sierra Nevada, and it was ass but I didn’t feel like it was overwhelmingly bitter. Looking for recs that I can get relatively easily, and without going to a brewery. Someone point me in the direction.
Edit: Also, I had something called Orange Blossom- it was terrible. It’s a hugely popular beer in AZ, and while the bitterness is tampered, the Orange “flavor” coats your throat and it’s really unpleasant. I have a chocolate stout and another popular local IPA that I’ll force a few sips on.
Pale ales or Session IPAs have some hops but aren't punch you in the mouth bitter like an IPA.
Blonde ales are also usually lighter.
Summer is coming up, a lot of breweries will do summer ales which are lighter and fruitier.
If you have a craft bottle shop or total wine type store near you, the best way to do this would be build a few six packs.
I hope this helps.
