I am a hophead. Give me an American IPA, Double IPA, or Barleywine and I'm probably going to like it. It was definitely an acquired taste - I hated hoppy beers when I first started drinking, but now there's nothing better, IMO.
Other than that, I enjoy good, crisp Bavarian or Czech Pilsners, wheat beers of all kinds (Witbiers, Hefes, Dunkels, and Weizenbocks), American Pale Ales, and Rye beers.
I am trying to expand my palette to enjoy more Belgians and roasted malt (read: dark) beers, but I have difficulty with anything that is really sweet or rich. So far, I can tolerate a good Stout (so long as it leans toward the coffee side as opposed to the chocolate side), but Porters are still a chore for me. As far as Belgians go, the only style, as a whole, that I enjoy are Dubbels, but I'm working my way up towards Tripels and Quads.
Beer = nectar of the Gods.
