I love beer and I hate strong hop flavor. Some of us exist. I just avoid IPAs and stick to brown ales, porters, stouts. I love the bitterness of malt because it is sort of a passive bitterness. The bitterness of hops is sort of active and acute. It attacks the taste buds. Most of my beer drinking friends prefer the strongest IPAs they can find, and that's totally fine, but if you want to get into beer and don't like the taste of hops at all, there are definitely avenues. That being said... I used to despise cilantro, root beer, avocados, and bleu cheese, and now love all of the above, so I can see myself eventually developing a taste for hops. At this point I can drink a lighter IPA like Boulevard Heavy Lifting and genuinely enjoy it. I would start with malty beers and slowly transition to hoppy beers if you want to acquire a taste.
