Go for a Belgian ale, a Czech pilsner, a German lager, or a German weissbier. There are American breweries that make those styles, but a lot of times they add way too much hops because they suck. If you're buying imported, make sure you get dark bottles, or, even better, bottles covered in foil. This prevents the beer from skunking during transport.

Buy sampler packs. Gets you a good variety, and if you don't like a type you at most get only 3 of it. Avoid any kind of pale ale if you don't like bitter. Try dark beer, porter specifically.
Cook with what you don't drink. (ipas are terrible but they still make great beer batter).

Yes, tripels are fantastic, although I prefer a Westmalle, or any other Trappist beer. Those monks have perfected beer making, and that style is right up your alley. It's on the sweet side and fairly strong, so if you dislike bitterness and are used to spirits and wine, you'll definitely enjoy it.

> use of more hops
hops are the reason beer is bitter fyi
