Only thing worse than 75% of the menu being IPAs is another 20% of it being "lite"
Three out of the top 4 selling brands of beer in the country are lite beer. Budweiser is the only non-lite (though it's still pretty light).

Like ashful said ,no accounting for taste or quality. After you drink the "good stuff" for awhile, these lite beer,s taste like watered down sour mash. IMO. You dont see many serious craft brewers brewing "lite" beer.
Yes, the lightest beer I make is a wheat beer. I also have made a raspberry wheat beer. These are refreshing in hot weather when you just want something to cool you down and slake your thirst. Typically they come in at around 5% abv.
Actually a type of light beer has a long tradition. Back in the days when water quality was dubious in some locations folks drank light beer and some ciders all day long starting with breakfast. The light beer was made from the spent grains from the first mash. This had a much lower alcohol content, but because it had been boiled for an hour it was bacteria free.

Winston Churchill was well known for starting each day with a Scotch and water. He’d just keep adding water to it all day, until he recharged at dinner.

Have one Dogfish 90 left so its been awhile .,pairing it with softshell crabs,cod loins and clamstrips.
Very little bitterness to this beer ,not sure why as its an IPA Supposedly. May be why i like it. Must be the Hop variety. 9%$ ABV so definitely not a "lite" beer.

It's an Imperial or double-IPA. Done right these can be very nice. Can you get Slack Tide's Double Header in your area? That is supposed to be a pretty good, but I haven't seen it locally yet.

I havnt seen that one around here. IPAs brewed with Simcoe Hops(Weyerbacher) are good too. I only like 2 IPAs Dogfish and Weyerbacher. Normally i avoid the rest and there are so many.
Without checking the internet, name the beer for this jingo -
It's not bitter, it's not sweet
It's the dry flavor treat...

Just keep drinking it till you beat your tastebuds into submission and you will like it. Lol
I have never been a bitter, hoppy IPA fan. Recently though I've tried a few micro brew IPA's that have been really good, flavorful with a grapefruit hit at the end but not bitter at all like others I've tried.
It's all in the brewing, hop choice and when the hops are introduced to the wort.

I once described San Miguel Beer as being too bitter to a filipino (Its breewed in the Philippines) He said "thats what i like about it" So its all in the taste buds of the beholder.

Son was drinking a pale ale tonight that was hoppier than many IPAs. The west coast breweries tend to go overboard here. Fortunately some of them are real masters and make some outstanding brews.

Got to say Begreen those Simcoe hops are the best,any thing with those hops is good. I think they are from out your way.

That won't work. The state that provide most of the hops to the country is in a drought.
