Originally lite beers were a way to market pilsners (which are lighter in color and flavor to other lagers and ales) to an American public that wasn’t versed in the styles of beer. It even says so on the label. And there’s nothing wrong with a good pilsner... of course none of the America lite beers ARE good pilsners.

Few micro could produce the quality of Bud, and I’m a dark beer guy.

You can like it or not, but strictly speaking it is extremely high quality.

Interestingly enough, my Czech friends and family love Bud.

IMO, American beer flagships suffered from a lack of variety, which fostered derision.

The only good “pilsner” I ever had was German. American “pilsners” are ugly-tasting.

Best 'cheap pilsner' I've ever had. $1.80 for a six pack at the base shopette in '93.

My favorite pilsner was
