How do you describe taste of beer to someone who has never tasted it?

Pee

Foamy liquid bread flavored with pine-tree like hops, usually.

It tastes like the cause of, and solution to, all life's problems.

Well, that covers Budweiser.

Go to a pub. Go to the bathroom. Inhale deeply. There you go.

But what if they don't know what pee tastes like? how would you describe what it taste like.

Honestly, I describe it as kinda bitter, but not bitingly so.

I personally don't care for the taste, and prefer it with fruit flavoring.
(Last night I got to try a grapefruit flavored beer, and it was fairly good)

To my refined palate, it's like donkey p!ss. The complete opposite of what i feel, while drinking a premium, sipping rum. Nobody can return to lesser spirits, post their beginning of a journey in the rum world.

But Captain Morgan isn't even good rum.

next closest flavor to hops i can think of is asparagus, yet it's much softer.

Captain morgan is vile and offensive, cheap yet low quality and p!ss poor. Only college kids drink on that horrible stuff. Ironically, it was the first rum i tasted. Neither premium, nor sipping rum, mediocre even as mix-only material (captain+cola).

Yeah, its like drinking vanilla extract. Good for mixing into a coke, but not much else.

You don't, you tell them to try whiskey instead. Might as well get used to something that gives you a good buzz than something that will just make you vomit
