I'm drinking this right now cuz it was part of a multi pack that was practically free. its actually quite good. dark, thick and malty like a craft Porter, but more floral and less bitter. Reminds me of a Pyramid Snow Cap Winter Ale which are actually quite good, and I don't taste a bit of coconut..

Best ones: Flying Dog, Three Floyds, Bells, Victory, sometimes Sierra Nevada depending on the brew (Celebration, Bigfoot), Smutty Nose, Rogue, to name a few.
Fat Tire is just a notch above Budweiser. Seriously.

All those you mentioned are not necessarily available in a bad selection pinch hit, and further, while Sierra Nevada is cool, I find it a very yeasty IPA style and can only drink 12z, the 24z are almost a heinekin.. Also you seemed to have missed my point entirely. Whether or not you like New Belgian beers or not, they are one of the few commercially available beers in the US which are ACTUAL ALES as opposed to American light lagers. There is such a world of difference between even a mediocre ale and a superb lager when ale is preferred.
You can call Fat Tire boring, but please don't compare it to budweiser again, that is just a useless hyperbole bordering on trolling
