Have a Smithwicks or a Kilkenny. Actually don't. Leave them for me.
Donate. One day it could be your family.

I have had Duvel before, but I ordered it as part of a sampler so hell if I can remember which it was... I'm pretty sure I have the right flavor in my mind, but there's really no way to know until I have it again.

I'll keep these in mind.

Take a pen and some paper, or a smart phone, and WRITE WHICH BEER YOU LIKE at the time. Right after you decide you like it. Not just a bit later. Right now.
I just keep a big list of beers I've had. I remember whether or not I liked them when I read the name.

If he has a smartphone wouldn't it just be easier to take a photo of the bottle's label?

If it's a sampler, there's no bottle to take a picture of.

Are you talking about a gift sampler, or one at a bar? If it's at the bar can't you just ask the bartender to show you the bottle?

A picture of the label would certainly aid beginner readers.

Anyway I figure if he's already had a few drinks before he finds one he likes, it may be easier to have a semi-blurry photo to reference later instead of a barely legible note. Of course he could always ask the bartender to write it down for him but still.

I was talking about a bar sampler. And it seems weird to get up from your table and walk to the bar to ask the bartender to show you the bottle of the beer in the sampler that is... what was the name of it again? Anyway, the fourth beer from the right, yeah that one. Can you show me the bottle so I can take a picture of the label? I want to remember the name.
Or just open your phone and make a note.
Yeah, I was talking about a bar sampler, probably should have specified. Most of the beer I drink is when I'm out at gastropubs, beer gardens, etc. And since I have no clue what I like, and little desire to play it safe anyway, I just order samplers.

Try a hefeweizen, preferably Weihenstephaner but Paulaner, Schneider, Ayinger, Hacker-Pschorr, Andechser or pretty much any other German Weissbier will do as well.
The good ones are light, drinkable and have some relatively sweet banana and cloves tastes.
White beers like hoegaarden or blue moon, but better, to try are St Bernardus Wit and Allagash White (from Maine so probably reasonably available).
Something perhaps a little different would be a tripel or a strong pale ale, both Belgian styles that aren't too bitter and Duvel and Westmalle Tripel are fairly widespread and both are excellent. Duvel has a bit of citrusy fruitiness like white beers but it's much stronger and doesn't have the bit of pepper and spices that (good) witbier tends to have. Tripels do have that but they're a little heavier and more warming.

What Aethien said.
I strongly agree with the Allagash White. It's one of my favorite Witbiers; not hoppy, but a really great spice flavor to it. And I just finished a bottle of Westmalle Tripel with dinner. Yummy.
Love,

I'm not surprised. There's an awful lot of you (in a good way) for alcohol to dilute into. Out of curiosity, how much does it take to drop you under the table?
I'm not sure, to be honest. Depends on how fast I'm drinking and what I do when I reach my limit. Last time I went under, I had consumed two six-packs, half a bottle of aquavit and a couple of shots of rum or vodka or something. But I drank the beer over the course of the evening and the spirits during the last two hours of the party.
That was the last time I drank myself into unconsciousness. Have not done it since and have no intention of doing it again.
Please "talk up" if your comprehension white-shifts. I will use simple-happy language-words to help you understand.

I've never been able to develop a taste for beer. I tried.
