Answers:
Do you like tomato juice? Try making a rusty beer by adding tomato juice or V8 1/2 1/2 to beer!
I don't drink Bud or Coors myself. I prefer stronger European or American Micro brews.
.

I'd say it is acquired...Just keep drinking it until it tastes good

yes

yes infact studdies show that people that start off drinking beer don't even like the stuff untill a long period of time . The only reason the ones that don't like it continue is mostly because of peer pressure

Why do you feel the need to drink beer? What a bizarre question! Ummm...have you tried some of the flavored beers?

Did you know that the taste for beer is possibly aquired while in utero? Beer is very close in taste to amniotic fluid (so says a study in Discover Mag).

yup. its an acquired taste. try experimenting. try different beers until you find one that doesn't bother you so much and just drink that for awhile. i would suggest something real light like icehouse, or bud light. or try hornsbys. its apple cider beer so it tastees pretty damn good, but still has that beer tast.pretty soon you'll start picking up the differences in taste, and know what beers taste good, and which ones don't.

Definitely an aquired taste and you will live a lot longer if you do not aquire it.

Yes, beer is an acquired taste...the first one usually taste bad...After you get that first one down, the rest go down like water!

yes, definitely, i love clamatio in mine

Yes, beer is an acquired taste and here is reason why:

Beer has three key incredients: water, malt, and hops.

The third ingredient is the reason it is an acquired taste. The second can be a contributing factor.

A hop is a herb; it is a flower that comes from a vine related to the cannibis plant. It smells "floral" (well sort of) and tastes bitter. It is the traditional flavor of beer and before refrigeration was key to preserving beer. Most people have no experience with this herb which has a strong flavor. As with any strong flavor, your body is going to react with shock when first exposed to it. Think about the first time you ate a chili pepper or something else with a strong and distinctive flavor. Did you have to get used to it?

The malt is specially treated barley where the starch has been converted into sugar. Before it becomes beer in the brewing process, it tastes sweet and a little nutty. It's like dissolving brown sugar in water.

You are probably reacting to the "hop" flavor which you either love or hate. To get away from the hops try beers which are maltier and balances the hop flavor. These will also be "heavier" tasting more substantial and sweeter. Varieties like stout, porter, or traditional German lagers fit this bill. Avoid most microbrews and English Ales.

Some people also are offended my "malty" flavors. Harder to get away from this but I'd suggest lite European beers like a Pilsner, light continental lager like a Heineken, or the American mass produced beers. Many of these replace malt with other sugars to lighten up the brew.
