All my beers ar NC, and (for some unknown reson) I figured yours may have been as well...so I dismissed that as a factor. I don't think it was bitterness per se that was at issue with it, but there was a harshness to the bitterness, and an imbalance with the malt,if you know what I mean....
onwards and upwards...
hK IPA
Expected a beer too hoppy for me...but pleasantly surpised. Bitter, but not aggressively dominant, there is malt behind it, and a smoothness. Bitter end note. Thick white head that stays in place. Like it a lot.Would have liked it to be a bit brighter, perhaps.Went straight for a second glass.
bostons NS summer ale
highly carbed. bitter, as expected. whilst bitter, fairly smooth, not aggressive or harsh. Floral and fruity on the nose, but not overpowering. Malt is there, helping to keep the hops in check. I actually like this beer quite a bit, and - surprisingly - wouldn't want the bitterness cut down. Refreshing.
If you beggars aren't careful, you'll turn me into a hop head. :lol:
Easiest drinking for me so far has been BigH and Bostons. Both of these got polished off one glass after another.....
