TIPS for Tasting
Drink different kinds of beer. As with anything else, it may be that there’s another sort of beer out there that you’d like better.
Switch to a different strength. If you find one beer to be overpowering, transition to a lighter style. These tend to be less fermented, which means they won’t be quite as bitter. On the flipside, people who are dissatisfied with weak, watery beers can try brews with more intense flavors, like porters and stouts.
Sample the range of brewing styles. Beers are classified by their brewing styles, the amount of time they're allowed to ferment and the ingredients used to give them their distinctive flavors. The more styles of beer you try, the more likely you are to find one that's pleasing to you.

Try lagers, which are cool and r
