[QUOTE="Thunderfoot, post: 3760681, member: 34175"] Some good suggestions for you so far Ferret... Things to consider: Taste (you wouldn't believe how many people drink beer just because and can't really stand it) Light, Heavy, Hoppy, Nutty, Woody, Fruity... all of these describe the various tastes of beers around the world. If you are looking for something smooth but not bitter Wheat beers (whits, weizens (not heffeweitzen) and various other names) are probably your speed. Another alternative would be to go Australian, tastes like a beer should, but cold brewed so there is less aftertaste, usually have a nutty flavor, but not always. If you want something robust, go for the bochs, dubbleboch (double bochs), stouts and heavy malts such as Guinness. These beers have no lack of flavor but can be bitter to the 'untrained' (don't mean that to sound snooty even though it does) pallet. Another possibility is ale, usually crisp tasting but little in the way of aftertaste (usually). Blondes and IPAs also fall into this category, with each having variations on the theme. The other route is the 'training beers' of Europe, or flavored beers. In Germany especially they will mix beer with anything, Cola (steeped with a shot of Cognac) or a 50/50 mix with lemonade (good stuff). In the States there have been a lot of microbrews that use non-standard ingredients like cherry, pumpkin, apple and such to hide the bitterness of an otherwise normal pilsner or pump up a wheat brew. Finally, there is hard cider and lemonade, not really beer per se, but no less tasty. If you find you cannot stomach the taste of hops (and there are quite a few folks that can't) this might be your best route to pints of refreshment. Fruity taste without umbrellas or your best mates telling you you're drinking fru-fru 'girly' drinks (cocktails). Hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
