I remember the first time I ever tasted beer; tasted like complete piss to me. I got used to it in my late teens, and even began to kinda like it, mostly because I associated the taste with staying out late and hanging out with hot chicks in bars and such.
Once I got used to it, I would hear all my friends rave about dark beers like Abita TurboDog and Guinness, so I tried em, and they tasted like thick, dark feces.
Where am I going with this? Well, I'm sitting here at 2:20am on a Monday, damn near five years after the fact, utterly savoring the flavor of the Abita Purple Haze sitting in front of me. Its my last one and its about half empty, so I'm sitting here doing the 'baby-sips' thing trying to make it last until I get tired enough to crash. All my life I was never a big believer in the 'aquired tastes' theory, now I'm sitting here reveling in a flavor that would have sent my mouth into a state of utter disbelief that anyone could enjoy it a few years ago.
Just thought I'd let you all know what was on my mind.
