The reason Americans drink their beer iced cold is to numb the taste
buds so they don't have to taste it.
Most American (and Canadian) beers are lagers, but have so many
"adjuncts" such as rice and corn which add no real taste. Also, as
commercials say, they pride themselves in low bitter taste. Duh. That's
what the hops are for, guys. Bitter is a taste to be savored. The result
are the weak watery Pilsners so common. Even so called microbreweries
have very mild tastes IMHO. Lagers can be made as tasteful as ales, though
I prefer the full fruity taste of the ales. The only real difference between
ales and lagers is in the particular yeast used. Lagers take much longer
to ferment.
Is this off-topic enough?
