Montieth's Summer Ale is like drinking fizzy, same goes for Montieth's Radler. Anyway the chances of Hurricane getting his hands on any Montieth's is pretty remote.
I say don't rush it. I was never a big beer drinker even after I turned 18, (legal drinking age here.) However I found that after a hard day at work or after a run or just at the end of a hot day I felt like something refreshing to drink. I didn't feel like water and everything else is too sweet so a beer is EXACTLY what I needed. Since then I just developed more of a taste for it.
I didn't go through the piss-water stage so in that way I'm a bit of a "beer-snob" but that's not a bad thing considering the crap that gets passed off as beer. You'll learn to appreciate the refreshing bitterness of beer after a while, I think you perhaps took a wrong turn by trying a Stout first. Even some long-time drinkers don't like Stout for the strong burnt coffee or toast tastes you get from it, (a dark beer is more of a winter beer to be drunk at room temperature by the way. So many people get this wrong and always insist that a beer should be cold.)
Lagers are generally easier for first time drinkers.
But hey, if beer's not your thing you could always pretend to be tough and swear by hard liquor. Why do spirit drinkers think they're so much tougher than beer drinkers by the way? Sure the alcohol content is higher but most spirit drinkers I know mix so much fruity shit with it one would have to drink three glasses to get one standard drink, (except my mate Alan who has the habit of making a gin and tonic with about one part gin to one part tonic.)
