Unhopped ale (lemmy.antemeridiem.xyz)

I normally don't drink beer or ale because I find it too bitter. I have no problems with malt though (I actually think it's pretty interesting). Would I be correct in thinking that unhopped beer is less bitter?

Also does anyone have any advice for brewing my first ale? I have made fruit wine, mead, and cider before but never beer. I have some kveik yeast and spray malt from other brews that I can use so I am thinking of using that. The closest I have gotten to brewing ale or beer is making bochet braggot so any help is appreciated.

I have a little bit of experience with brewing beer, and in that experience the big thing that struck me was the fact that the process is way faster than when I was making wine. Like, I could basically let the wine sit there and do its thing for a very long time and there was no real negative consequence, but I had to get the timing just right for beer.
