its literally just carbonated piss and you cant even get drunk off it. and i say this as a german, who’s been trying both ‘good’ and bad beer since 16 years old.

    Tastes overwhelmingly like straw

    That might be the most hilarious description of beer I’ve heard.

    But if I had to guess, I’d say it’s probably the malted barley that tastes like straw to you, especially if you taste it in EVERY beer. I don’t think all beers have hops, and my wife describes hops as tasting like pine cones, soap, or flowers.

      The two beers I’ve tried which I actively liked and would drink again were Schofferhofer and Doom Bar. Just had a quick look at their ingredients to see if they contain a lower amount of malted barley.

      Doom Bar describes itself as having a “lightly roasted malt taste with succulent dried fruit” whilst Schofferhofer I struggled to find info for but I remember it being more sweet and fruity too.

      In the future I’ll keep an eye out for beers that describe themselves as being lightly/subtlety malty maybe I’ll be able to find some more beers I like :D
