Personally, I actually enjoy the taste of beer, however I have difficulty with the taste of alcohol. I suspect there must be some situation in my younger days that prompted this (I did drink like half a bottle of wine and immediately vomit it back up when my parents turned away for a second at some party when I was like 3), but I just can't stand the taste of alcohol. If something contains even small amounts of alcohol I can usually tell, and while I can drink it, I find it hard to drink much. Which is a bit of a shame really...
