It’s easy to drink several." I hate to sound like a Beer snob, but I find Bud to be very difficult to drink. Literally. It's flavor is unpleasant, almost to the point of seeming like something went wrong in the brewing process - which I'd assume to be the case if it wasn't for the fact that Bud *always* tastes this way. Every time I drink Bud (or any American style lager) I get a stomach ache, and usually a hangover the next day. I'm not sure what they're doing wrong, but... they're doing something wrong. I can drink multiple craft beers and I'm fine, but one Budweiser or similar style light lager, and my night is ruined. I feel bad for their brew master if brewing such a poor quality beverage is as difficult as he claims. What an unrewarding endeavor! I disagree with this statement:

This is a beer that fits the description of refreshing at serving temp and great as it warms. The malt you love (and who doesn't) is there as are a balanced portion of hops. Even my wife liked it, the non-discriminating beer drinker. Is this a fair comparison? I think so. Tonight I tried Sierra Nevadas Summerfest Lager.
