Now, my son, Hal, is somewhat picky when it comes to his food. I've wondered for a while now if he might not be a Supertaster. In any case, he doesn't like a lot of extremes with his food. Nothing too sour or bitter or too flavorful. He doesn't like my barbecue, for example, and it's not even all that extreme; just a little bite to it, but it's got a lot of complex flavors. He doesn't even put ketchup on his burgers and fries. He always orders a plain burger on a bun.
So I figured he wouldn't care much for the taste of beer, and I was right.
He took two sips, and he was pretty much done. He complained of an aftertaste in his throat, and even though I explained that was the finish, and was part of the experience of a good beer, I doubt he'll take the time to acquire a taste for beer. And that's his prerogative. I'm just glad I was able to buy my son his first (and probably only) beer.
jk Thanks for pointing that out. I've fixed it!
