Maybe a session ale.

im looking for something a little sour, but not bitter, i dont like
fruit at all, miller lite is tasting too sweet to me. I really like
the modelo negra, has a sweet first sip but that goes away. i want
refreshing, sour and not heavy in the gut, i dont like any drink to
sit with me. Theres also winter drink and summer drink, in the winter
i sit and drink inside, in the summer i like to do stuff and have some
drinks, id like if they had a winter alcohol content and and summer
alcohol content, maybe 3 percent in the summer and 5 or 6 in the winter.
This is why I never got the fixins to make beer, it would become my
full time obsession to get that perfect flavor, and when I hit it Id
be too drunk to remember the recipe and process. but if the flavor was
right id replace my mountain dew with it, i like beer, so id have to
come up with a zero proof recipe

Ales will get bitterness largely from the amount of hops and/or
when and how the hops are added. Sierra nevada (and others) make a
late-hopped ale. Sierra Nevada calls it "Torpedo" because they add
an extra kick of hops late in the brewing stage via a "torpedo"
filled with hops.
Some have started doing "hazy IPA", which is a cloudy beer (as
opposed to clear). These will often have a hint of fruit.
Not hazy, but real interesting is Hell or High Watermelon from the
21st Amendment. It is slightly fruity, but not as much as you
might infer from the name.

Beer making is just really getting started. The art is maybe 100
years behind wine making in where it stands today.

I thought I didn't like IPA for a really long time. Turns out
some of them are sour and some of them taste fruity. I'm told
this depends on what type of hops they used....but IDK. I like
the fruity IPA, but I only had a couple sour ones so I avoided
all IPA for a long time.
I had a really smooth and tasty Scotch Ale and went around saying
Scotch Ale was great. Then I had a different Scotch Ale and it
was harsh AF.
I haven't yet had a milk stout that didn't suck. Any beer with
coffee flavor is also not my thing.
"Bitter" is a type that sounds like it ought to be bad, but so
far has been good every time.
Blue Moon is supposed to be a Belgian wheat ale with orange
flavor, and I really like that one. I tried a craft beer labeled
as a Belgian wheat ale with orange flavor and it was really bland.
Porter is great in a stew, but not as great for just drinking.
Lager and pilsner are safe from almost any brand. Most of the
mass produced beers are either a lager or pilsner, so these'll
taste familiar at least. For a mass produced, American beer my
go-to is Miller High Life, or Genesee. Don't know if you have
Genny in your locality, but they make it on the Genesee river in
NY so the toxic waste gives it a nice twang. It's got a little
more flavor than that Alabama crick water they call Budweiser.

I bought Arrogant Bastard Ale just so I could take a picture
of myself drinking Arrogant Bastard Ale.
It turned out to be pretty good though.

There is a fairly long list of things that I consider
undrinkable. I can tell without taking it off the shelf
that Bud Zero would be one of them.
This is more to my liking.
