Is is the yin stomping on the yang? Is is the planetary misalignment playing pisha pasha in your brain? Is this whizzing down a hop-sandpaper slide on a Teflon tongue? No, it's worse—it's a disharmonious culture clash culminating in the battle of the United States vs. Belgium, with the big, bad, bold, bruising in-your-face hop bitterness of pine and citrus in this corner versus the bee-sting brawn of clove, coriander, Curacao and cloudiness in that corner, and when the dust settles, there can be only one man left standing. Because this is neither a marriage of convenience nor a divorce of discommodity. No—this is heathen chemistry, with the sole winner of this epic battle being your taste buds!
