I'm new to beer and love the taste and smell of hops, but can't handle the bitterness. Everyone in my fam loves a Boulevard or other Kansas City IPA- in fact, that's all the beer they buy gatherings. To get a beer with just the barest hint of hops and no bitterness, should I start homebrewing? I have some equipment, but no space at present to set up. I make a killer limoncello with grain alcohol. Is there any chance of beery happiness for me?

I wouldn't say it's essential to homebrew to get beer that is hoppy (aroma) but less bitter, so definitely a chance you can find something that works for you being produced today from a brewery. There's so much variety at the moment and plenty of styles to dive into. Since you mentioned bitterness, see if you can find things by their IBU (bitterness score) and work from that?
