I don't like fall flavors (pumpkin) or winter flavors (cinnamon, nutmeg). Though I will say that Pete's Wicked Winter was what originally turned me onto good beer, oddly.
Summer seasonals are just like...Summer Ales? I can't think of any I seek out.
though in general I like winter b/c I like stouts. and I like summer as lambics are really refreshing when it's hot out.
but most of the time I'm drinking IPA's I guess
Pretty much this for me, too.
I hate pumpkin beers and don't like the winter warmers or spiced stuff. Pete's Wicked Ale and Wicked Winter are the first "good" beers I remember drinking (this was mid- to late 90s on the East Coast, before they were bought out).
I love stouts, and I have them occasionally in the summer but they're much easier for me to drink when it's cooler.
Summertime is primarily pale ales, IPAs, and lambics for me. This summer, Fist City and White Rajah have been my go to ales. And I've been opening up lambics and gueuzes pretty frequently, too. A random beer that I recently tried was this Gose from Cincinnati brewer MadTree:
It doesn't get very good ratings on BA, but I really enjoyed it. RDH, have you tried it?
