I always considered a person that likes dark beers a malthead, or a stoutie...but whatever..I guess roasthead would do. I've never heard of a Seasonhead. Is using the term "xxxx-head" to describe a persons love of something particular, akin to using the term "xxxxx-gate" to describe something unscrupulous, devious, or illegal?

malthead - that the last one I was looking for seasonhead is my own invention

I like Greg Engert's style paradigm, which I modified slightly to fit this thread: Crisp Head Malt Head Roast Head Hop Head Smoke Head Tart & Funk Head Fruit & Spice Head http://www.churchkeydc.com/ PS & FWIW, I still have no idea what this thread is about! [:D]

it's been fun seeing what this is all about and leaving it empty, like when sassy just put "armpits" My beef was with completely filtered beers, so filtered theres not a trace of yeast, so filtered it seems like water. I don't mind shakering a little hops in my beer or having yeast sediment. Recently I put a leaf of woodruff in a bottle of beer, something a tad bigger than a rosemary leaf and though the people I served it to enjoyed the unique flavor and talked on and on about it, they were also a little unnerved that there was something floating in their beer. I am doing a batch with basswood flowers and am planning on serving bottling with a pinch of dried basswood petals for that last zip of flavor and can already hear, "what's that gunk in my beer?" So again I ask, what is up with having to have clear beer. I have even encountered people who want to use packets of lime juice over a lime in their corona.

Many years ago, while in the wonderful state known as the Volunteer State, I wandered into a Memphis Watering Hole after an exam with a bunch of friends. Not being discerning beer drinkers (being Canadian I was already conditioned that all American swill was God-Awful) we ordered a few pitchers of draught to help us make it through to the next day. The beer that came was so clear that you could read the newspaper through it. I asked what it was (expecting to here Bud or Miller) and was told it was "Milwaukee's Best", to which I replied, if this is Milwaukee's Best I would hate to try the worst.......I was then asked to leave the bar. I had never seen beer that clear before, nor since. Personally, I don't care if my beer is clear, hazy, or murky. If it tastes good....why complain about it? (And if you're ever in the P&H Cafe in Memphis, don't insult the draught)

In general I prefer stronger, darker, murkier. Don't care for overfiltered stuff, because yes, in general, the taste is filtered as well. Kristalweizen as a style bores me. Prime example? Sierra Nevada. KW sucks, and they make a pretty good wheat. They will also serve a filtered and unfiltered pale ale side by side at the pub and I prefer the unfiltered for sure. The only KW I can think of that was really good was Weihenstephaner. Of course, I like my beers with weasel poo...
