If it tastes awful don't drink it. In home brewing as in life.

You'll know if you have an infection by looking at the top of your beer in the fermenter.
If there is webs of white or ringlets of white then its most likely infected.
A rigours cleansing with bleach is necessary if thats the case.
This happened to me recently so i know what its like!

If it looks the same as normal you're probably fine.
