HOPIQ TAKE
Bud Light if you want the beer that's been engineered to taste like nothing in the smoothest way possible, Natural Light if you want to save a buck and accept slightly thinner beer. Both clock in at identical ABV and IBU, but Bud Light has a fractionally rounder mouthfeel—it's the more polished sibling. That said, Natural Light's stripped-down simplicity is honest in its own way; it doesn't pretend to be anything but a cheap, crushable lager.
