- Alcohol generally, beer more specifically.
I dont particularly like the taste of alcohol, and beer is just way to bitter for me generally. Ive had some wine that was decent, and occasionally ill have a cider, but I generally just don’t understand why people drink alcohol.
- Energy Drinks.
I don’t get why people like them, they taste awful. Red bull in particular makes me wanna throw up. Its so carbonated and so bitter they add so much sugar, and then you just get this sweet-bitter taste that is just awful.
Mineral water, or bubbly water. Bubbly mineral water. It’s all gross and I’m tired of pretending it’s not.
Numerous people have said coffee, but I will be more specific:
I despise 3rd wave coffee. Its often sour and disgusting.
I love Italian coffee though.
Anything fruit flavored that doesn’t actually contain any actual fruit. They all taste like poison to me. Energy drinks, vitamin water, orange crush… You name it
Sake
Just skimmed through the thread. You know what beverage I don’t see in here? Ginger Ale, because it is objectively amazing.
if that’s the case Irn Bru is also on that list…though it’s an acquired taste.
Hefeweizens, just absolute trash. They all taste exactly the same, it’s like weak shitty grass tea.
Anything with artificial sweeteners.
Matcha. Every everyone says it’s this wonderful day and when I try it it’s like drinking blended lawn clippings.
Matcha does taste like grass, I agree, and I still like it. I guess if I ate grass I probably wouldn’t hate it, at least from a taste perspective
It’s delicious. I also love sencha. Black coffee is also superior compared to the sugar bomb coffee drinks most of the country drinks.
Look, I champion black coffee wherever I can. I drink it decaf…
But I draw the line at matcha. Don’t lie to yourself.
Lmao your opinion is already compromised with the self admission of decaf coffee which in itself is an oxymoron.
It’s like saying sugar free Frappuccino!
What country? Sounds shit
USA. 99% of people drink Starbucks/Dutch Bros. Drinks that have 500+ calorie starting points before the modify them to hell and back and turn them into a 1000 calorie meal.
A large part of obesity epidemic around here is all of the empty calorie drinks.
That will be IPAs for me. If I wanted to drink grapefruit pith I can think of better ways to do it.
The thing about IPAs is there are many, many different styles, it’s a very broad description. Some do taste very citrussy, others don’t at all.
Red IPAs for example are more malt based flavor, WC IPAs are usually milder. It depends on the hops used and the individual recipe. It’s hard to find two that taste alike.
Not criticizing your taste, and if you don’t like them you don’t like them, just that they aren’t all citrus hop bombs.
I used to hate IPAs, but then I accidentally picked up a Red Rock IPA that snuck into a sixer of lagers and that specific beer unlocked in me whatever makes people love IPA, now it’s the only kind of beer I want to drink.
IPAs are the only beers worth drinking imo. Whiskey or IPAs nothing else really hits right.
I’ve always found IPAs more like chewing pine needles, but agreed. IPAs are fucking disgusting.
IPA’s taste like Fruity Pebbles that dry out my gums. Just give me something simple and refreshing.
Coffee.
I absolutely love the smell of fresh ground coffee. I even ground some up and put it in a bowl on the counter to make the aroma fill the room one time.
But the taste is awful. 🤢
I know multiple people who like Club Mate. It’s just an ash tray flavored energy drink to me, never liked it
Beer
In my opinion, it really depends on the beer. I’m not a fan of Pilsners, and IPAs. But I really love aged lambics without any added fruit juice (I think it’s called oude gueze?), and sour red Flemish ales. I’m also a fan of really heavy stouts.
I tried a number of beers over the years I drank, I never liked a single one of them. Sure I never tried every kind of beer.
On the other hand, I liked pizza from the first bite. Sure there are toppings I dislike on pizza, but the vast majority of pizza, I like. There was no finding the perfect pizza.
Beer is bad.
Campari
I’ve made a complete 180 on Campari. I haaaaaaated it and regretted buying the bottle the first time I tried a cocktail with it. Couldn’t believe how it ruined the entire drink. Since I had the bottle, I tried again, with a different drink. Even worse.
Was close to chucking the bottle out, gave it one last try with a modified Jungle Bird:
- 45ml dark (!) rum
- 15ml Campari
- 15ml simple syrup
- 30ml lemon juice
- 60ml pineapple juice
Shake with relatively little ice. Strain into low-ball glass lightly packed with crushed ice. Let dilute for a minute.
Surprisingly, despite being able to taste the Campari, this one was actually really great. Made it again a couple of days later, and again. Since then, it’s my favorite cocktail, period.
After a while, went back and tasted Campari pure and to my mild surprise, also liked it. Went back to the awful drinks (first one was a Negroni) and also really liked them now.
So… yeah. I don’t know why, but somehow, I went from hating it to absolutely loving it.
For sure.
