Tastes overwhelmingly like straw

That might be the most hilarious description of beer I've heard.

But if I had to guess, I'd say it's probably the malted barley that tastes like straw to you, especially if you taste it in EVERY beer. I don't think all beers have hops, and my wife describes hops as tasting like pine cones, soap, or flowers.
