If it tastes like piss then you're drinking the wrong beer.
What beers would you suggest to someone who doesn't like beer?
If you don't like beer, I'm going to recommend you drink something else. If you can better define what you don't like about a specific beer you've had, we can talk about beers that might fit your palette a bit better.
The best thing to do if you want to try some beers is go to a beer bar that does flights/tastings and try a bunch of different styles. Non-beer drinkers should probably stay away from lagers, pilsners, and IPAs, as that's what people like OP associate with "piss water" but that's a pretty small portion of what makes up the styles of beers. Stouts, sours, fruited beers, ambers, hefewiesens, are a bit more friendly to the palette.
Dark beers like stouts or porters. Often times they're sweetened with Maple/Coffee/things if that's more your taste.
Honestly go to a well known brewery near you and order a flight. That way you can sample a bunch of different styles and go from there.
Hitachino Nest White Ale. A Belgian-style wheat beer that is both light and complex, with orange peel, coriander and nutmeg flavors.
Unlike other beer flavor descriptions, this one is actually legit, you can really taste a bit of those things, and it's delightful. It's also not a dark, heavy beer, it's light and refreshing.
It is the best beer I've ever tasted, and one day I will travel to Japan so I can have some straight from the tap.
