Its a "bad beer" is your opinion of it, not fact. Im not saying its good beer, as in its what I go for on a consistent basis, but I dont feel its to the point where I have to have my arm twisted to have a pint... Again though, thats not a fact, thats my opinion.
It is however brewed to style though on a consistent basis. And they have won awards for it, more than once. Therefore, other brewers and judges feel the same.
Im not trying to play devil's advocate here. My favorite style is sours, followed by pales, stouts, etc. But for the American Light Lager and American Lager style, that is the comparison.
I remember their take on a belgian wheat. It was consistent over and over again. And it was horrible (IMO) but must have been to everyone else as well, because it didnt stay long.
