I'd have to agree with that. I'd say Becks is probably worse than some American macro brews; I'd go with Yeungling over a Becks all week long and twice on Sundays.

I wouldn't call Becks "difficult to drink". It's more that, being that it's from a country world famous for their beer, Becks is just plain boring.
For novice beer drinkers, I usually advise people to find something in the middle. If you start with things like Budweiser, Coors, Becks, etc, your impression of beer will be that it's just grain flavored water with no nuance. If you start with hardcore beers like imperial stouts, double IPAs, barleywines, and such, you'll find beer to be overwhelming. Go with a blonde ale, kolsch, a quality pilsner, or golden lager. Try different kinds and, if you find that you're enthusiastic about beer, try the higher ABV and stronger tasting ones.
