I used to drink a lot of their Tadcaster Porter and Oatmeal Stout. But for bottled beers I've mostly been into hoppy pale ales for a while now.
Now if I could be instantly transported to the pub or beer garden of my choice my pick of beer styles changes. A real cask Young's Special at The Lamb in Bloomsbury, London or a St. Jakobus at the Forschungsbrauerei in Munich would suit me well.

I wasnt terribly happy with the snakebite blend but tried it out of curiousity. I went ahead and bought a six pack of the Sierra Nevada and it seems its growing on me in a good way. I believe Im getting accustomed to the hops. What are some others that arent terribly hoppy youd recommend?

How are you serving the SN Pale?
Try Pilsner Urquell.

I like Henry Weinhard's Blue Boar(Oregon) and Big Sky Scape Goat(Montana), IMO they're not very hoppy at all and that's a good thing for my taste buds. Of course finding them in Florida might be impossible. One or two Sierra Torpedo's or Pyramid Thunderheads and it's hop overload, I can't handle those things on a regular basis.

You pesky Hopheads!
Never had any Stone AB, would it agree with my low brow tastebuds? (grin)
(just looked and it appears to be HOPPED up)

Corona's with lime.....with fajitas of course. Or....Shiner Bock with crawfish.
It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

I don't know about the brow, but low hop taste buds would probably be blasted into oblivion by the Bastard.

Corona doesn't qualify as beer.
Shiner Bock is beer, but just OK. There is much better beer being made in Texas by Real Ale Brewing to cite one company.

all that Stones stuff is supposed to be hoppy isnt it? MM Im pouring it into a beer glass from the bottle . Not ice cold but not room temperature either. Everything but the aftertaste is great and like I said Im getting used to it.

Pour it and let it breathe. Use a glass like one of these: Get the 20 to 22 ounce size. The excess capacity will allow a proper head forming pour without having to back off at the end of the pour. After the head settles a bit the top of the glass will then hold the aroma of the beer. This is important to the flavor.

I thought it was a wheat ale? Am I mistaken?

It is, but it also has coriander and orange peel.

I can't stand Blue Moon, it's got some sort of orange/spice flavor. Alaskan White(another wheat ale) is the same way, whatever they put in those beers makes me sick.

Ill have to give it a try, that doesnt sound to great to me though. This thread has really gotten me going on sampling new beers. Im going back to the tavern to continue my beer tour this weekend I suppose. Some of the scottish stuff looked interesting, I believe thats where ill start on my next visit.

It isn't the wheat part.
It's the coriander and whatever else they put in while mimicking the style of that subset of Belgian beer I don't like for the same reason.
