My favorite beers are Belgian: Hoegaarden, Leffe, Westmalle, La Chouffe, Duvel. But the circumstances in which beer is drunk are very important for its appeal too. After hiking in the Rockies for several weeks even a Heineken tastes like heaven. (No, it doesn't, it was an MCB actually. Heineken: fuck that shit!)
Westmalle Trippel is one of the finer things in life. The Belgians do beer right. Love all the Trappist beers, and the lambic family is a fun excursion to the edges of what beer can be - Boon especially. Drool...
Like I said, one dimensional and that dimension happens to be skunk. Beer Advocate gives it a 65% rating based on over 1600 reviews. Pretty bad.
Heineken: fuck that shit!
-Wow, there's some serious Heineken anger. I've never understood why Heineken is so damned popular. It's a really one dimensional beer. I think they're just really, really good at marketing.
