I can smell iron in the soil from a distance (depending on how much there is), and if there's a lot of iron I feel very sick, almost like I'm going to vomit, and I want to get away from it. There was one place like that where the closer I got the more sick I felt and the more iron I smelled, I could taste it like there was blood in my mouth, some months later did they start digging there and found a lot of iron.

I do not really like lager (love other types) for the same reason, the taste has a lot of iron in it especially some brands but I seem to be the only one who can taste it. I kind of rank lager as less or more irony taste lol.

Sometimes at some bars does one or multiple beers on tap taste weird and sweet regardless of type or brand. No one else of my friends seem to be able to tell. I where at a bar once where only one beer tap tasted as it should... The rest had the same sweet weird taste.

I also do not like coca-cola or Pepsi so my taste buds may just be weird.

The bar thing just sounds like they don't clean their taps very well.

It might also be from oxidation. There are a lot of ways that can happen, even directly through the walls of the tubing between the kegs and faucets if it's the cheap kind.

That would actually explain why one bar i have gone to many times has one beer (that is always on the same tap) that always tates wrong, I thought it was a batch thing. Thanks for this information!
