Fresh, well-kept real ale or quality bottled beers and lagers. Real beer is a living product (fermentation and all that, which continues in the barrel and sometimes the bottle) and has a range and depth of taste that preserved stuff doesn't. Most draught beer and many bottled ones are pasteurised and preserved for shelf life rather than taste.
Trouble is, real beer takes a little bit more care to look after than keg (ie, pasteurised, pressurised) booze, so many pubs which don't really know how to look after it keep in on too long and end up with bad tasting beer. The result - people think real ale tastes crap.
Drinking keg beer is like eating TV dinners. Real ale is the equivalent of organic
DRINK?

Ale's the worst tasting IMO - it's just rank - at least lager's cold and fizzy

lager has become synonymous with nasty keg beer, but is really just a different and quite legitimate beer style. I like some of the bottled lagers - Pilsner Urquell, Budvar, many of the German ones and numerous Czech newcomers that seem to be hitting the shelves, especially the dark ones

I don't find it vile, so much as unbelievably bland. People blather on about different lagers, but I can't tell 'em apart. All the main ones taste precisely the same, and they all taste of nothing, except Bud which is nasty, sweet-tasting, watery piss.
On the other hand, the Co-op in Charlton are doing a rather good offer on Beck's, and since I'm in on my tod tonight I've a few bottles of that to get through. It's drinkable, if unexciting.
If only I knew an offie that sold Badger ales in this part of London. I'd kill for a bottle or two of Golden Glory...
I do like lager but I can't drink enough to get pissed cos I just get bloated and need to wee every 5 mins which is annoying.
It's very refreshing when drunk very chilled in teh summer.

I'm not so keen on that one. Ginger and ale just don't seem to go together so well. It's perfectly drinkable, but not one of my favourites.
Tbh, though, I don't think I've ever had a Badger beer I've not liked. Even Tanglefoot is scarily drinkable, although after a few it does exactly what it says on the tin!
Just seen this thread/poll -- voted Option 1, amazingly
Mmmmmmm BEER!!!
I've drank it for 27 years, other alcohol much much more rarely++, but my tastes are discerning as to which sort
++eg was given a bottle of Jim Beam about six years ago. There's still a bit of it left!
Never** did me any harm ...
**almost never!
