Yeah, clean of flavour. In Britain Bud is popular because it is an entry level beer. Kids who are drinking soda pop and want to graduate to alcohol start on Bud, because it is easy to drink, not containing any of that horrid beer taste!

The dark stuff is what contains the flavour. The clear stuff is water. Bud is a light coloured beer because it is more water, less taste!
Being serious for a moment, your comment "dude, it's a clean beer" highlights the problem with a lot of beers (not just Bud, and sadly not just American beers but some European beers, and even some British beers). The problem is that people buy on looks, not on taste. For example adverts over here for Coors beer push the fact that it is "cold filtered". Cold filtering is a process that improves the look of a beer at a cost to it's flavour. Whatever the beer tastes like it will never taste as good after cold filtering as it does before cold filtering. So basically Coors adverts in England proudly state "We make our beer taste shit, but at the same time make it look pretty", and they know that too many drinkers are thick enough to rush out and buy the "pretty" beer rather than the "good tasting" beer.
