In fact it's not only beers. The British-produced versions of soft drinks (sorry, I'll wash my mouth out later...) like Coke and various other fizzies seem grossly over-gassy, so the overall taste is of the straight-up-your-nose CO2, rather than a more subtle tingle that mainland Europe seems to prefer and that doesn't mask most of the taste.
