    I suspect lager/beer/IPA/RealAle etc.

    I love almost all of it now, but as a teen first trying it it was disgusting and I had to pretend to like it because thats what Real Men drink. I can’t be sure if its an acquired taste, or something that only comes with age, or my main suspicion is that its like Stockholm Syndrome for your tongue.

      You mentioned so many different styles of beer lol. None of which are even remotely alike. And then just “beer”.

      Beer is just as nuanced as wine. So many different styles and tastes within styles.

      Even just in the IPA umbrella you have a thousand different styles, that range from the ultra hoppy and bitter west coast style to a sweeter version in the northeastern hazy IPA range.
