I don't like low alcohol beers. I want to experience all aspects of the beer right away, including the alcohol. Imagine if someone asked how a beer tasted, and you answered "I don't know yet, I'll tell you after a few more".

Really into the Belgian trippels these days.

Edit: Wow. People really like low alcohol beers.

Maybe people don't find your personal taste relevant.

Or maybe SV types can't handle real beer.

Yeah, it's obviously that and not anything to do with the attitude you project.

I projected no attitude in my original comment.

Are low alcohol content beers not "real beer"?

They are. I don't really think this.

No, your original response was equivalent to "I like lamp".

And then you came back with a generalization about "SV types".

Generally the alcohol level is not part of the taste.

It impacts the taste, as you're changing the content of a flavorful substance in the beverage. But there's nothing about that observation that would imply "more is better".

Intoxication is not part of the taste.
