The popular mass-market beers are bland, but they don't taste BAD; they just don't have much taste at all. JMO.
For example, I once had a smoked beer from the Purple Onion (Outter Banks, NC). Tasted like what I assume would be licking an ashtray.

I want a beer that tastes like BEER. Not strawberry, not cherry, not lime, not coffee, not lemon, not....well, you get the point.

I blame it on today's generation which has to have some type of gum flavor in everything, from their coffee to their beer, water to vodka.
