first i want to try to make a beer that there is less risk of not liking.once i have done that then i want to try different types.
A few places have Canadian Ale or Canadian Blond kits (Cooper's is one). That's somewhat of a light lager type brew, easier to brew than a true bud light clone.
I'm not sure if you plan is to buy locally, order from Canada, or order from the States.
MalFet said:The trouble with that approach is that American light adjunct lagers (like Bud Lite) are actually quite technical and generally require some advanced equipment. A cream ale or a blonde ale (which every homebrew shop on the net will sell you) might be the closest thing, but if you go in expecting something like you are used to I suspect you'll be pretty disappointed.
I think your best bet is to go out and buy a few different styles of beer. Go to a shop that let's you buy singles and pick up 12 different styles to see what you like. Make sure you're actually buying different styles of beer, rather than just 12 brands of the same thing. If you know a little bit about the diversity out there, I think you'll have better luck doing something you enjoy.
Canadian Blond kits from Cooper's is my next Brew.
I pickup the kit from a store in Hamilton for $16.50 + $3.25 for the Sugar.
I didn't pay any taxes
Store is called Complete home brewing supplies.

Or you could go with an American hefe...its fairly bland so it might be a good "gateway beer" to more flavor.

As far as the OP, i would reccomend a wheat beer or hefeweizen mild ale or blonde ale, i would also suggest trying new beers to see what you like and dont assume something like a porter sucks in general when you havent tryed more of them. I made the mistake of sterotyping a stlyle of beer because i only tried one brand of porter.And ive finally found a few i like.Same with pale ales it took me more than a few differnt beers to find one i like and i would have to say i like Left Hand Brewerys pale ale alot as an example.
