Oh I’ve only ever really tried one or two American beers, the local lager that everyone said was good (Yuengling?) sucked ass lol. So I had to drink some IPA that wasn’t much better. If I’m talking about beers, I’m talking about European beers personally
I’m aware that cold drinks mask some parts of flavor, but I’d say it’s not that light beers are bad beers, but rather that they’re made with being consumed cold in mind - much like ice creams are made with being consumed cold in mind.
It’s summer. It’s warm. I don’t want a warm beer. I want cold beer. So I choose the one that tastes best cold, rather than the one that tastes best warm (which I’d rather consume when it’s not scorching hot)
PS: Speaking of warm beer, ice cream, and dark beers: Stouts and porters pair well with ice cream. I know, it sounds funny. But it’s true.

So I’ve heard. Since I’ve given up both sugar (as much as possible) and alcohol though, I’m probably not going to try that or the classic root beer float for a while.

Normally I drink mass-produced local (Estonian) lagers, or the original czech pilsner that modern light beers trace their heritage to. All great cold, or OK warm. The American beer wasn’t even OK cold lol

Sounds like you’re making better health decisions than I am. Hope you manage to keep them up!
