I wasn't aiming for poetry, just making a point. The point that sheer intensity of one particular flavour isn't in and of itself a great thing. A lot of these craft beers taste very strongly of lemony astringency and not a great deal else, which can be refreshing for a pint or two on a hot day but doesn't really hold one's interest for very long. It's the like the difference between a loutish 15% Aussie cabernet sauvignon and a good burgundy or Bordeaux with loads of complexity and structure.
I'm drinking a St. Peter's beer right now that's plenty hoppy but it's delicately floral rather than just overpoweringly citrusy and the hops are balanced by a a slight sweetness from the malt.
