Oh yea, some truly awful beers were brewed in the infancy of British microbrewing. And there are still some terribly dull beers being brewed, tasteless golden ales stuffed full of hops in an artless and displeasing fashion.

That said, one man's meat is another man's poison. there are some flavours eg phenolics, which a lot of people can't taste, which means they can like a beer others find undrinkable.
