Broke-Ass Stuart raises some good points. Good beer needs balance and harmony. Hoppy beer can be good. Moderately hopped beer can be good. I prefer well-hopped brews myself, but I also want to taste the malts and even the influence of the yeast. Some people, commercial & home brewers alike, are relying on hops to cover their lack of skill.

“Somehow, Americans have convinced themselves the more hellish a beer tastes, the better it must be. Do you really want to drink a quintuple IPA that uses eleventy kinds of hops and has been arrested for assault? Sure, it gets you drunk quicker, but so does Mad Dog 20/20, and I don’t see you drinking that.”
