Beers taste different from brand to brand, but this is a general description using my own terms.
1. Ales and Lagers (beers that are light in color and fairly clear) - have a slight sweetness to them with a slightly yeasty, wheat (even though there's no wheat) taste. The cheaper beers seem to me that they don't have any noticeable taste... just a very faint hint of sweetness.
2. The Amber beers have more of a light nutty roasted flavor to them.
3. Dark Stout beer (like Guinness) when I first tasted it. I described it as old cold coffee. Now, these are my favorite. They actually taste rich, sweet, roasted, nutty and creamy. Definitely a beer you sip and enjoy slowly. Not a chugging beer.

This is a silly question. How can we tell you what beer tastes like? Chicken. Yep. Tastes like chicken.
Most people don't like the taste of beer at first, but it is an acquired taste. There are few brands of beer I don't like. Ambers and darks are the best, imo. IPA's are my least favorite, but I still like those, too.
In all likelihood, beer tastes unlike anything else you have ever tasted, so the only way to know what it tastes like is to actually try it.

a good strong beer tastes like an unsweet tea, but with hops instead of the tea. There is also alot of grain in beer causing a full-bodied taste. Beer is an aquired taste. I thought it tasted bad the first time I drank it, but it will grow on you.

I don't think there's really anything you can compare the taste to. Beet tastes like beer. It's definitely an acquired taste.

According to the beer judge certification program (http://www.bjcp.org), there are 72 different types of beers, each with their own flavors. I suggest you go there for some reading.

Haha, I agree with the first comment. Go with Vodka. Does the trick so much quicker.
