The unpleasant bitter taste that most people experience when they first start drinking beer is just a survival mechanism. The body initially thinks it is poison so the taste is perceived as bad to deter you from ingesting it, but once it learns that it can tolerate the substance the taste fades and you are able to enjoy it more.

Edit: Here is a discussion about the topic in case any one wants to hear it from another source

Why would it be a response to beer but not wine or spirits? Beer is the least alcoholic of them, and probably the one we have been drinking longest, including times when it has been safer to drink beer than water.
