Beer "Whats your Taste"

Because of my IBS I can't drink ales or bitters anymore

and I never could stand hoppy. I loved the local craft beer in the 90s but when I came back 5 years ago, the craft beer had gone all hoppy. Every single one of them that wasn't a stout.
I had been drinking very lovely beer in the UK and in the Netherlands - bitter and ale from the UK and lager from Germany and Belgium - all very good and a *variety* of kinds of flavours not just kick you in the face with shoes made hops.

Granville Island Lager is a local lager that I like.
Crisp malty, with a hint of grassy herbal hop aromas. A *hint*- just enough to make it refreshing but not enough to make it even slightly bitter or jumpy. It's incredibly smooth. It goes incredibly well with delicate food like halibut because nothing is punching the shit out of your pallet - but it still has a full, firm body to be able to cleanse the pallet between bites of fish and seafood, so you can taste your salad or sesame roast potatoes with miso gravy.
