If so, what made it bad to you?
I like IPAs, but Whitehawk IPA tastes like soap.

People say it tastes like soap and I have no idea how they link those two. It has a peculiar, strong flavor, but I have to wonder if any of these people have ever actually tasted soap.
What a weird coincidence.

I've probably tried a dozen or so IPAs and didn't like any of them. I've actually poured out a number of 6 packs because they were undrinkable. Its just not an enjoyable experience to me, I think they're fairly horrific as far as alcohol goes. It's the beer equivalent of nail polish vodka. Lol. My favourite beers are ales, Innis & Gunn has been good to me

Yeah the whole soap thing is weird to me. To me, cliantro doesnt taste like soap, it tastes more like a toxic plant that shouldnt be eaten. Like eating the wrong wild berry.

You're weird. Do you drink bud light? Cuz that's basically water. When I went to monster jam, all they served was light beer. I was in hell... I'm at the most red neck sport event ever and my choices are bud light, Miller light and Michelob ultra.. what the fuck.
Word up! I went to the one in Jacksonville last week and I said the very same thing to myself. And it was like $15 for a tall can of day drinkin beer. I got a beer, pepsi, an aight sausage, and a pretzel made of sand for $33. It was a dam good time tho.
As far as IPA's I think it is a genetic code that allows you to like IPA's. Never had a bad one!? Im adventurous about beer but over 50% are bad to me. But, I have had some good random ones before at bars and from grocery stores. Guess I have to be in the mood for it. Try some of the 11%+. Theres one in a city south of me thats 18%!! Actually not sure if its an IPA or not but its a lighter looking beer that hits hard af.

I haven't seen any of the ones listed yet. I want to try one of these bad ones. I wanna know if I just have low standards or I just manage to always pick a good one.
Well logical mentioned one I like. Sierra Nevada but he says he doesn't like any of them. It's not my favorite beer, but I like it enough to buy it more than once. I've tried at least a dozen or two different ones. Never had one I wouldn't buy again. Sculpin by ballast point is one of my favorites. It's got a very strong taste though. If you don't like the bitterness of IPAs, that's definitely one you won't like.

If u can handle Sierra Nevada Pale Ale IPAs, which taste like fermented pine needles to me, then u can handle any IPA

Give me the worst IPA on earth over any of the domestic brand name light beers we have in the USA.
Bud Light, Coors Light, Miller Light, whatever.

IPAs are somewhat paradoxical. Some people love em like Shroomslip and Nffla, while other people like myself and half of larry. cant stand them.
So weird

I go back and forth. I'll drink IPA if that's all there is. I won't choose it on my own volition, however. I couldn't name one, either LOL.

The Shaman appears well-adapted to a variety of substances.

Everytime someone offers me a can of IPA, i take one sip, instantly regret it then secretly dump out the rest or leave it behind somewhere as the night goes on. I feel kinda bad it but id rather not refuse a drink. I dunno

I usually find it's a small or local brewery that makes shitty IPA's.
Although every IPA is better than a GOSE beer. That shit tastes like literal vomit.
Brickstone Brewery makes an APA that is top-notch. I've found most of their selection to be pretty good.

I would theorize that people who hate cilantro also probably hate IPAs as well.
Nein, I am a cilantro hater that likes tolerates IPAs.
I do prefer other beers to IPAs though(chocolate stout, belgium style ale, sours, etc). But I also do prefer other drinks to beer, in general.

There is a genetic component to hating cilantro apparently. I can sort of tolerate it but it's not something I would add to food intentionally.

Yeah I feel similarly. It's just so insanely overpowering that I won't add it to food. I much prefer parsley as an alternative.
