well see that's just the thing, there are so many different kinds of beer. a pilsner (e.g. corona extra) for example tastes nothing like a stout. i think most of the piss beers are "light lagers", they don't have a lot of hops. pilsners are not far off, but they have some other sort of flavor that i can't describe. IPAs have a lot of hops. That's that bitter/sour sort of taste. Stouts are smoother and much more dark. If you're interested in trying some beer I would recommend "The Poet" (Oatmeal Stout) by New Holland or any brewery's Amber Ale. Both are dark, smooth, not hoppy. Stella is very light and refreshing, not hoppy either.
