That's what's known in the brewing trade as an "adjunct" beer.

Adjunct meaning that it's made with cheaper grain ingredients, "adjuncts," than beers
made with 100% barley. Corn and rice are the usual substitutions for barley.

Many really high quality 100% barley beers, often referred to as pilsners or lagers,
made by craft brewers in the U.S.

Examples are Tumer Pils and Sudwerks Pilsner. Try 'em and you won't go back to
Corona or Bud.

Budweiser sells a lot of beer. But so too did Ford sell a lot of Pintos.

Except that in almost every case nowadays, your average 100% barley malt brew is likely to be so overly hopped that you cannot taste the malt anyway!  What a waste of good barley!  You might as well brew it from potato peels.  Because all you are going to taste is pine cones and hints of citrus!

You drink lager after you get your Tech. After Extra you graduate to ale.

Nope. Not at all.

Beers (and ales) are brewed in particular and definite styles. Pilsners, for example, are full barley but
the malt is light in color and relatively light in flavor. Hopping is appropriate, having been developed over hundreds of years.

Some styles of ales, on the other hand, can be relatively full-bodied in malt and fully commensurate with abundant hoppiness. Scottish style ales or Extra Bitter ales are like that and are very tasty for those who can handle their full-bore flavors.

In the particular case of the India Pale Ale style, which features relatively light maltiness, there is
very frequently these days far too much hops. This is a distortion of the original style and can be
completely unbalanced regarding malty and hoppy flavors. Not to mention also excessively bitter.

Hops are not used just for flavor but also for their preservative qualities. The origin of India Pale Ales was for export from Britain to India so the original style used plenty of hops. Current exaggerated styles are, however, can be overboard.

The drink of choice for radio amateurs should be "Jameson Irish Whiskey" Marconi's mother was Irish and came from the Jameson family. I understand that Grand Father Jameson provided funding for a lot of young Marconi's early wireless experiments.
