You don't have to be polished to drink "good" beer--just have to try some different styles. I think Smithwicks is particularly uninteresting although didn't think it bitter. Have you tried a Belgium beer? You'll not get the bitterness found in light ales and they can be extremely easy to drink, although usually very alcoholic.
If you're game, try Brother Theleonis. A belgium style beer brewed in the U.S. and damn good intro to belgium beers. The farmhouse beers are outstanding, too--Saison Dupont, Foret..I could go on.
Give it a try. I still drink Coors Light and Miller Lite but love a "good" beer.
