Some beers do taste like crap! However, "beauty is in the eye of the beholder", or taste buds and smell.
Try a "Dry Beer", Asahi Super Dry from Japan, comes to mind, less after taste.
Beers from Holland and Belgium can have a lighter colour as well, but with still have enough of a flavour for your tongue.
When I was a kid once I asked my Dad why do you drink beer, he would say, he liked the taste. He would give me a sip, my usual response was, 'Yuck!'
My Dad would have a few dozen bottles of beer around the house, for guests mostly. Molson's Canadian, Red Cap Ale, Black Label, Labatt's Fifty, Labatt's Blue, Molson's Export, Old Style Pilsner (Lethbridge). Those beers all taste quite different to me now.
