Sure, if you like your beer the consistency and taste of raw sewage, you like Belgian. If you are, like the great nation of Germany, first and foremost a lover of greatly balanced Pilsners, you'll pass
Drinking German pils is like drinking water. In fact, that's what I thought I was drinking.
Ever drank a trappist? It's what the gods drink.
I agree that the trappists are too molasses-y, pils are great in the summer, as are wheats (yum!), and ipa's are always welcome (hoppy good floral yum yum). What's not to love about a great stout or even a really nice brown or red ale, here and there. I'm not as keen on the whites (Belgian Allagash etc), but they're nice too.
I know (and completely agree). I was just trolling the ale crowd that seems to think *any* beer needs to be "rich in taste".... that's (IMO) beer snobbery in its worst form. Sometimes, nothing is wrong with a good, balanced Pils (and calling it watery just shows your taste buds were ruined by too much
)Obviously there can be good and light Pils. That doesn't make ALL Pils good tho... So much trash that is brewn in Germany it's not even trolly.
