Back to the topic, I was at busch gardens and since I rode all the rides twice and it was free, I decided to do the "brewmaster's table" tasting. Going in, I was pretty sure they'd kick me out for my comments.
Anyways, I tried bud light, bud, bud select, Michelob amber bock, and bareknuckle stout.
If I had to pick one to drink, the amber bock and stout weren't too bad. Straight bud was absolutely horrible- grainy and astringent. Bud light, to my surprise, was better. That select stuff was decent but not much different than bud light. The stout was a lot better than people led me to believe. It's still an A-B stout, but at least it had color and flavor. People were bitching about how bitter it was. ya... okay.
Please note that my comments are relative to the style. I wouldn't buy this crap if it was the only beer on the planet.
My girlfriend had the energy drinks and fruit/spice-doctored michelob. Those were all disgusting! The best tasted like Jack Daniels coolers that had gone rancid. I think she liked the chocolate flavored amber bock.
