This question just occurred to me: Why is beer so delicious?

Okay, first let me clear something up. This is not one of those immature journals you frequently see where the person posts just to say something like "whoa i just had a few wine coolers i'm totally buzzed guyz". This is a legitimate question that I'm curious about.

I love beer, you see. I don't like getting drunk, even though it often happens, as some of my friends will tell you, that I get on MSN with a slight buzz. That only happens on the weekends when I have two beers or mixed drinks instead of one.

What I do love, bar none, is the taste of a good beer. For instance, for lunch today I had a roast beef sandwich, some minestrone, and a bottle of Molson Golden, which is a golden lager beer from Canada. Essentially it's the Canadian equivalent of Bud Light Golden Wheat, but it's fairly tasty and definitely quite refreshing; one of those beers that is quite watery, but the good kind of watery beer, if that makes any sense.

I don't know if I can really describe what makes beer taste good to me. It might be the slight bitterness combined with the coldness of the liquid that I like, but then again I like sweet fruit beers like berry weisses and shandies, too. It's definitely not the alcohol taste that I like, because I really can't stand the taste of alcohol. It's why I need to cut rum with about four parts cola before I can drink it. All I know for certain is that a good beer tastes fantastic, and even a not so great beer is alright on a really hot day. I'll admit, I'm guilty of enjoying a Bud Light or a Miller High Life every now and again.

So for all you other beer drinkers out there, what is it that YOU like about beer?
