It’s called an “acquired taste” mean something that doesn’t taste good on the onset, but you put up through the bad taste to get a positive effect, such as getting a buzz. Remove the buzz, there’s no reason to put up with it to acquire the taste. You’ve already acquired the taste, so after removing the alcohol it’s fine. But I guarantee you you wouldn’t start drinking if there wasn’t a peripheral benefit.

It isn’t an acquired taste though. It’s an enjoyment of bitter and botanical flavors same as certain types of teas.
Ummmm, yes it is. Bitterness is an acquired taste
