I want a beer that tastes like BEER. Not strawberry, not cherry, not lime, not coffee, not lemon, not....well, you get the point.
I blame it on today's generation which has to have some type of gum flavor in everything, from their coffee to their beer, water to vodka.

Yeah. There's a craft brewer here in the Twin Cities that has an almost cult-like fanbase. I tried a 6-pack of their best known brew --- Surly Furious --- supposedly an ale in the American IPA style. I swear it should instead be called Omar's Hard Limonade. The citrus flavor dominated. I won't be buying any more of that stuff.
They (Surly) do, however, put out a seasonal called Bitter Brewer, an ale in the English Bitter style. Now, THAT stuff is good! Too bad it is seasonal.
