I've occasionally thought that a hoppy tasting beer has lost its essential hoppiness. Soon afterwards the hop flavour is back. I thought I must have developed a temporary tolerance to hop flavour so I Googled the issue. It seems I'm not alone. Hop tolerance is real and can be cured by drinking lightly hopped beer.
That's not a "cure" I fancy! Has anyone else found that they've developed hop tolerance? Have you conquered it?
 
I've had "immediate" results when trying various beers in quick succession....as in not being able to taste anything in a lesser hopped beer...
