Each time I've tried it, it's been a different kind of beer, and each time it's tasted exactly the same to me
The stuff I mentioned in my first post, compared to a pilsner like Bud, is practically like comparing wine to beer. At least sparkling wine to beer.
In soda terms, like Seven-Up compared to Coke or Pepsi. Seriously, abbey-style ales are that different.
The difference is that Seven-Up is tolerable to me, whereas I have to go brush my teeth after tasting beer. The taste is pretty much offensive to me, and I haven't been tasting things like Bud or Milwaukee's Best, but some middle of the road stuff like Sam Adams Octoberfest and Blue Moon (which you've mentioned). No matter what, it tastes just plain disgusting.
It's funny, there's more people in this thread who have said that they don't drink beer than I've met in my whole adult life.
