Hops are an acquired taste, but once you learn to dig it, you realize that the hops are there to balance the super sweetness of the malt. THAT is where the real beer flavors are, the malt and the the yeast. If you were to sip pure beer malt it would pucker sour-sweet, hence adding hops (or a variety of bitter herbs which is why "spiced" ales became so popular, me, I dig hops)
