Per Peter Lucas (SAS RET):
What do Urine and american Beer have in common?
They both taste the same going in and comming out!!

The German side of my family refers to our beer as "****wasser".

Bad rap as far as I'm concerned bc the most noticeable fault of
American beers like Bud and Coors is the *lack* of taste - ****
or otherwise.

There are, IMHO, some enjoyable American beers. But they're
smaller brands - some of which are even claimed thb brewed in
accordance with the old German "Purity Law" - as in

I rather like to drink Michelob when I'm stateside, but do I recall
someone
telling me that's actually a Canadian beer ?

No. It's as American as it gets. For commercial, watery, fairly
tasteless beer, it's the best of the bunch. It's great for canoeing/
kayaking because you can get it in cans.

There seems to be a big difference between Michelob on tap and in bottles
from what I've seen. A few years back, when you asked for a Mich in a
restaurant, that's what you got. It was about on a par with some of the
'better' lagers here in the UK. Now, it seems that you get a Mich Ultra by
default. Is that actually the only one from them in a bottle now? I don't
get over there often enough to really know. I found the Ultra a bit of an
'acquired taste'. It certainly tastes a lot weaker than other versions that
I had previously drunk, but doesn't actually seem to be. It is a lot less
'rounded' in taste - a bit thin and 'crisp' - but never-the-less, quite a
pleasant refreshing drink with a meal. Once you've let it warm up just a bit
from the almost-frozen state that it gets delivered to your table in, that
is ... For plain old 'throwing a few beers down your throat' it's hard to
beat good old Bud. Just about strong enough to qualify, and quite a pleasant
taste. Bit gassy, but tolerable. Do you get Stella Artois over there ? Or
Kronenbourg 1662? They are nice tasty lager beers.
