Beer is like soup. There's tons of different ways to make it. There are sweet (like candy sweet, not just soda sweet) beers if you want them. The issue is you have to find them. There was a big movement towards sour beers for a while, which turned into a race for the sweetest beer and ended horribly in my opinion, but those are more rare than during that period now. There's also beers that taste like pickles, wine, or just about whatever else you could want. There really isn't a "beer" flavor, though there is a lager or pilsner flavor which is the typical cheap beer.
Yeah that probably what I am used to seeing. I have had draft beer but I can't tell difference so I assume I am lost cause there. Same goes for red wine for me they all taste basically the same. It's like difference between 7up and sprite.
Draft beer just means it's coming from a keg, not a style difference. You may not find beer you like, but if you've only tried the typical beer you get at a bar or whatever then yeah, it won't be good. I'd say go to a brewery and ask for help. The bartenders will be happy to help and they'll let you taste whatever you want before ordering. You can also go to a taphouse or something, but they won't be as helpful probably and you also probably can't get tastes.
O weird people always act like draft is so much better.
