You are probably a lager fan more than an ale fan. If you are a lager guy and are going to try out an ale I suggest a kolsch from germany. I don’t mean a kolsch style beer from america, but a real kolsch german beer. You need to work your way up to a heavy wheat beer and even once you get there you can only drink so much of it. 2 wheat beers in a sitting is probably the limit for most peoples’ palates. Then they will either quit drinking or switch to something cleaner and crisper.
I have been brewing ales for awhile now. I like what I have brewed so far. Especially the stouts, porters and a honey ale I brewed a couple of months ago, which I will have 2 or 3 this evening. I have liked all the Blue Moon ales I have tried except that Wheat ale.
