Yeah, I've got some reasoning: they're different recipes.
It's pretty much impossible to compare bitterness between two different beers, especially homebrewed and commercial when you have no clue of the recipe.

Because Ales are the anti-Coors, brewed and shipped warm. 
But seriously, O4_srt has it right. You reduce the malt and hops flavor of a full bodied ale if you serve it too cold.
It's the same with cheese as well. Once you try letting a good cheddar (or anything else) warm up, you'll never eat cold cheese again on purpose.

coldness dulls your taste. that's why all the BMC drinkers want their beer "ice cold." They like to lie to themselves pretending it's b/c beer tastes better when it's ice cold, ignoring the fact that when it warms up and they can actually taste the full flavor of the beer, it tastes like $hit
