I don't think I'm bored... but I know what I really like after all these years of "testing".

I've bought beers recently that I tried and loved a few years ago, but have since had something even better. Which reset my standards making a former really good beer, not quite so good.

Kind of like having Sam Adams for the first time after only ever knowing Budweiser. I have a Sam Adams Boston Lager now, and it's still good, I'm just not particularly impressed by it anymore.

I too support an occasional palate reset with some Budweiser... helps keep things in perspective.
