Higher IBU the more bitter. Usually on the packaging especially on IPAs.

You may not be against the bitterness but the type of bitterness. You will find that some hops are citrusy, some are piney, some are spicy, etc. If you don't like the piney taste try a more citrusy IPA (Sweetwater IPA comes to mind). Like Gerard said the DIPAs often have more malt to balance the addition of hops so try those as well. Then if you decide you don't like hoppy beers there is no harm. Plenty of other styles out there.
Preciate it Albert. So, are the hops where the bitterness comes from?
