With all the different varieties it is a hard comparison. It really is just one of those things you have to try. Some people love it, some people hate it, and some people have to have it cause it was hard to get/the in thing. Personally, I prefer it over similarly priced beers and I enjoy the lager and the Old Chesterfield Ale. I picked up a case every time I was in PA to bring back but wasn't willing to pay much over a $5 markup for someone else to bring me any back.
