mtbc | Non-local beer preference

I usually enjoy pale lagers like the main products one is likely to be given when asking for Löwenbräu, Carlsberg, Tsingtao, Corona Extra, Asahi, Budweiser, Stella Artois, etc. However, to my surprise I find that the most popular Scottish pale lager, Tennent's, is not to my taste. I wonder what's with that. Perhaps it is more malty than I like? I know very little of beer.
