What kind did you have?

There are a bunch of good ones out there, but there's probably even more terrible ones. Just about every brewery in the US thinks they can make one by just throwing a bunch of hops in there. It's not that simple--you need a good balance for it to taste good.

It's actually not beer, it's ale.

Ale is beer.

Lager is beer.

Ales are not lagers.

Lagers are not ales.

If all ales are beers and all beers are not ales, and all lagers are beers but not all beers are lagers; are all lagers, ales?

Just have a few more ales and lagers, and I'm sure the answer will become obvious. :D

If you drink an IPA its definitely not going to taste like iced tea.

Just seeing that pic of the 120 gets me giddy. Unfortunately all I have is some 90 in the fridge.
