As the topic states i can't seem to enjoy a beer, it is to bitter and to my palate lacks non of the complexity i find in bourbon or single malt scotch this in itself could stem from going from wine to bourbon and never exploring what this great drink has to offer.

Any tips on how to get used to the bitterness would be appreciated, i really want to give this category of drinks a chance.

Just don't eat that yellow snow.
And don't drink that yellow beer, either.

There's nothing wrong with "yellow" per se, but beer with any flavor at all (not like Bud, Miller, Coors, for example) tend be German lagers and Pilseners and the bitterness is much appreciated by those who enjoy them.

Also, definitely avoid most American craft/microbrew pale ales and IPAs and such. Bitterness and hop flavor are key elements of the American Ale style. English dark ales, if you can find them, tend to be more malt-forward. Porter (English, not American) might be just what you're looking for. You might also enjoy Newcastle Brown Ale, which is usually readily available.

Most importantly, you should remember that your appreciation of beer is greatly enhanced by exploring its many varieties and styles.
That is pretty similar to the situation with whiskey, as well. So, if you decided to go that route, be prepared for a long, interesting, and rather addictive journey. Probably more so than with whiskey, since beer is much less costly.

The main issue is the amount of liquid in a beer i can't seem to adjust to it.

There are over 100 different styles of beers out there. Keep looking. Beer is an acquired taste.

You might like to try some of the Belgian beers, they range from heavy to light, and some are quite fruity, and, are not usually that hoppy. Try some of the English beers too, like the Oatmeal Stouts (try Samuel Smiths), or Bass Ale (I have always liked this beer for its wonderful maltiness) which tend to be a bit on the sweet side and slide down so easily.

I am about beer like I am about sprits (bourbon, scotch, cognac, other brandies, tequila, and any others), I like pretty much all the varieties of beer, including the super hoppy ones (e.g. Sierra Nevada BIG FOOT).

I had a great belgium ale/beer it was fruity and complex but the amount of liquid got to me, still all of your advice is helpful, now to figure out what is a good first time cigar to pair with my bourbon and scotch.

Try Guiness Lager. Don't let the black look fool you. It's a very smooth beer.

If you need a beer, you need a beer. If you don't need a beer, you don't need a beer. It's really simple unless you need to overthink every problem.
