Is it me or is any ale that has been hopped to death given a really high score and anything a bit more malty seems to always get a low score on the beer review sites?
I quite like a malty but balanced ale and whenever I taste a new one in a pub I go looking for the recipe and the reviews always have a low score, a couple of examples are Brains Rev James and Upham Punter, both great tasting ales, nicely balanced hops and malt.
Is it just the trend that alot of people like the more lager hoppy tasting 'hopped to death' IPA's, than the balanced bitters?
