I used to say "it's only the first few hundred that taste bad."

But I love the taste of beer as long as it's not an IPA.

It's so strange that I'm the opposite. IPAs are the only kinds of beer consistently palatable to me.

IPAs aren't my favorite but I noticed a major improvement when one is poured, rather than drunk straight from the bottle/can. Before I made a point of pouring them, I mostly would get those bitter and funky flavors, but the aeration seems to help a lot.

I agree that pouring it into a glass tastes better generally.

But they're just SO hoppy! When I moved to the PNW I was sad that was the primary craft beer here. But, they aren't all of it, just most.
