But then I'm not usually into the bitter ones anyway - Stella is more my style (or many of the other "German beer purity law" imports). If I do go for a bitter one though, Sierra Nevada's IPA is quite impressive. Anyway, the further you get from Bud Light the better. That sort of stuff had me convinced for a decade that I just simply didn't like beer until I finally tried some proper German/Belgian ones.
