Way back, when I was in the Army at a small outstation in Germany, our EM club manager changed. He inventoried stock and saw no American beer, only German, which he thought unpatriotic. So he ordered cases of various brands (this was in 1997) through Army supply. No one drank them. Finally he piled all the American cases in the middle of the floor and put a FREE sign on them. I tried one and found it tasted the way I imagined horse piss might taste. No one drank them, even for free. Yeah, soldiers who wouldn't drink free beer! I don't know what happened to those cases but eventually they disappeared.
So that's my take on the whole American light beer thing. Water's simply better tasting and better for you.
