    If beer “burns”, you’re doing it wrong. Sure there’s the odd Jamaican Ginger or Cinnamon that might be spicy, but I’ve never had a beer strong enough to get that burning sensation that stronger alcohols can give.

    Are you allergic? Did you try a beer so far gone that it’s basically formaldehyde?

    You’re of course welcome to chose not to poison yourself with alcohol and I don’t want to push anyone into drinking …… but if you legit were willing but didn’t like the taste, microbrews have a huge range of tastes and strengths that could appeal to many different people

      Its been a while since I had alcohol. The last thing I had was Vokda since my wife is using it to make Mint Extract, and sip was enough to remind me why I don’t like the drink.

      As for Beer proper. I think it was a fresh bottle of mikes hard lemonade, and what I can recall was overwhelming bitterness mixed with a burning sensation. But that could just be the alcohol drying out my throat.

      I also did a rum and coke shot, again bitterness and burning.

      Not sure if allergic, but I can see a sensitivity to it. Especially with my strong sense of smell.

      I personally see it more like an aversion like how some people avoid carbonated beverages

        Wow, humans sure are different: I find that cloyingly sweet. Then again, I generally go for strong bitter flavors: black coffee, dark chocolate, the bitterest style of beers, the Cabernets of wines
