Everyone has their own taste preferences, but IMO, you're going to have a
hard time finding any homebrew less bitter than bud. IMO, Bud has almost
no bitterness at all. On the other hand, just about anything you brew
will
have more body/flavor than Bud.
I like to recommend darker styles for someone's first attempt because they
are more forgiving. However, if you've never had a beer like that before
it may not be a good idea. Maybe go out and by commercial examples of a
stout or ****ter and see what you think. If you like them, they would make
good candidates for your first homebrew.
