I'd go with bud light platinum. I'm not sure if that really counts since it's 6% abv but it says light on the bottle so...

Eh I've found the best method is to just let my 4 year old pick bottles based on what she thinks looks cool. It's generally turned out alright. That said the book Tasting Beer has been helpful in getting a better idea of different types and styles.

By and large the only smaller company I consistently like is Dogfish because they do weird poo poo that you can actually understand the flavor without lying based on taste and the description and they make comically huge ABV beers now and again.

Soemwhat unrelated, just can't image how bad it was even a decade ago in PA. I was lucky since I was in NY then, but went home for the holidays and wanted some beer and had to buy a goddamn case of just one type. Luckily when I moved back bottle stores started becoming a thing.

Edit
Some of the beers she's picked

I've tried ufo and some other brands but none of them have ever come close to franziskaner. In Germany it would be impossible to find a bar without hefeweizen on tap and the best i can do is 3.99 0.5l bottles of franziskaner from the imported beer store. Sometimes I see 12 packs of 12oz bottles but it is still not as good as the 0.5l bottles with the foil

Seconding this. Bud Light tastes like goat urine cut with paint thinner, but Platinum is really surprisingly drinkable, especially for the price.

I like fancy beers and also normal beers unless they decide to get super weird and put cherry and espresso flavors in. If you read the side of a beer and it says something about dark cherry and coffee beans then you need to just put that thing down and pick up a Coors instead

The beer is when I want to relax and have a good time, otherwise it's drinking vodka out of the freezer in my underwear with tears streaming down my face
