I'm quite fond of ESBs. My favorite used to be Stoudt's Scarlet Lady ESB. However since I've moved out west I can't get it anymore. Fuller's ESB isn't bad, and Red Hook ESB is reasonably good. I bought a kegerator a couple of months back, which rather restricts my beer selection though. Currently it is serving up a 1/4 barrel of Fat Tire.

Guinness extra stout
I'll drink anything beer thicker and darker than that though.

When I was young and stupid, I did the American beer thing. It was cheap and everyone else said it was good, so I had no clue...then I got assigned to Germany...
Hello taste, goodbye American brewed horse-whiz. Since then I have to put Guinness (two 'n' s BTW) at the top of my list, but all the Guinness/Bass imports are high up (Guinness, Harp, Smithwick's, Bass) Also, micro-brews are usually much better than mass produced. Local breweries are always a good place to score a good beer (usually). The Ram in Indy is legendary during GenCon; out here in the Baltimore area DuClaw's is the place to go. But almost every city of size (or any one near a college) has some sort of passable beer in their array of alcohol.
BTW, Budweiser and the other American beers are illegal in Germany - why, because they don't the Beer Purity laws. They are usually made from non-approved grains (such as rice) or aged in an improper manner (such as blowing through a beechwood tube for 5 seconds and calling it 'aged'). Harp is a good example that a well crafted beer doesn't have to be heavy, Sam Adams is another good, more easily accessible, example. So whatever your taste in beer might be, don't settle for mass-produced, in the end you really get what you pay for.
