One currently popular ale that I just can't find it in my heart (or palate) to like is smoked ale. Ugh. I've tried it in numerous microbreweries, and I can never even finish the tasting glass.

It'd also be an adjunct Vienna lager rather than anything actually like a porter; real, all-malt Vienna lagers are pretty hard to come by these days, although Great Lakes and Devil's Backbone make decent ones, and, if you can find it, I think the dark version of Bohemia is an adjunct-free Mexican Vienna lager.

So is it just like store-bought "wheat bread-- exactly the same as white bread but with brown stuff added? Hm.
Lutheranchik-- weirdly enough, I don't have the same revulsion to smoked ale that I do to coffee/ chocolate bastardizations, but I do feel guilty when I am drinking one. Somewhere down there is a beer that is not being allowed to be itself.

I haven't tried "smoked," but I once tried a "black" and it was horrible. If I understand correctly, the malt is extremely roasted and/or burnt.
On a more enjoyable note, I've had a few "fresh hops" IPA's and they were great -- light and almost floral tasting.

After a lovely double shot of Laphroiag 10, I had a passable light ale microbrew from a little college town to the north....

Our local wholefood shop is getting more adventurous with bottled beers at the moment. I asked the manager how his "dry month" was going now that the new stock was in, and he grimaced and said "Not very well." But he felt it was his duty to sample the stock. So as well as some small local breweries, there is now beer available from the States, Belgium and Germany. I got some Orval from Belgium, Flying Dog's Underdog Atlantic Lager, Fraoch heather beer from Scotland, and Brooklyn East India Pale Ale, which is quite a wide variety to choose from of an evening.
