Minty hop taste?
« on: March 16, 2012, 06:35:02 pm »
I haven't been able to pinpoint which type it is, but in some beers I taste hops as if they were minty. I really hate it. Anyone have a clue as to which variety might taste minty or is it just my taste buds?

I find Glacier to be very minty (though I like it).

I'll try to avoid these then. It's funny how my tastes change the more I try different styles. I'm currently favoring more malt (or less emphasis on hops).

Perle is always minty to me. I find Fr. Strisselspalt can have some mintyness too, though in a different (and IMO) more enjoyable way.
