It could just be that I'm not a fan of bocks, because, I was surprised when it wasn't much to my liking. It's kind of like abbey style ales. Cool history, but I think it sucks.

I like boks as a session beer. Boks are good for food pairings too where you want a dry but slightly sweet pairing. I feel the same way about a lot of IPA's and double IPA's. The citrusy flavor, to me, is over powered by that awful pine resin aroma and flavor.

Ah Budweiser...the beer that makes people around the world shake their head in wonder and think "and those people call themselves civilized drinking this shit?".

Budweiser was primarily responsible for the beer wars of the 70's and turning the nations macro-lagers into the watered down horse piss that it currently remains today. Few nations have as bad a macro-lagers as the U.S. as is represented by Bud.

I buy it out of habit. After the first glass beer is beer lol. The real bilge water is light beer, I don't know how people drink light beer.

Darth. You need to do a test. Schlitz offers for sale it's beer made with its original 1961 recipe. Drink one, taste it and keep in mind that's pretty much what Bud was like in 1961. It will give you an idea of how bad macro-lagers became in the 1970's due to Wall Street pressure for Breweries to consolidate and maximize profits by attenuating their brewing recipes with adulterants like rice and corn...yea know? Stuff that wouldn't pass the Bavarian purity laws.

With the exception of Yuengling the vast majority of US Macro lagers blow chunks. They only really deserve credit for being made on such a massive scale with a consistent quality from batch to batch, month to month and year to year.

I mean take a trip to Belgium and order a glass of Stella Artois. You'll say hmmm looks like a Budweiser but how comes it taste so much better, has a better mouth feel and drinkability and a really pleasant aroma?

It's because they don't stint on the hops and barley malt or use rice, wheat and corn instead.

I don't doubt that for a minute.

But most of my beer is consumed while fishing or during a ball game, when my mind is in other places besides what the beer tastes like lol.

When I'm out, dining or otherwise, Ill usually order something besides a Bud. My current favorite is Big Timber, in a large frosty mug along with some prime rib or what have you. It's brewed locally in Elkins WV.

You should try one.
 
People diss Budweiser, and it certainly isn't a fave of mine, but it's all what your taste is. It certainly isn't lacking in flavor; it has a very strong, distinctive taste. I have been to many a get-together where they had Bud, and on a hot day, I certainly don't mind it.

It's the beer equivalent of a quarter pounder. I'm a little snobby, so I still like my angus green chile burger....but in a pinch, a quarter pounder can be really tasty.

Holland has the worst, courtesy of Heineken. But, yeah, our macros are notorious for sucking.

I do prefer a hoppy IPA to a really bitter red ale, because of the flavour that those hops provide. Sometimes, I feel like those bitter reds are stale and tasteless.
