Anheuser World Lager (World Select)

Brewed by Anheuser-Busch InBev
Style: Pale Lager
St. Louis, Missouri USA

Love the new style bottle. It rocks!! Hate the new beer. It sucks. The beer is quite sour and mashie tasting. Didn’t start well and didn’t finish well. The middle left a lot to be dessired too.

Has the look of a lager, pale and gold with a white head. Light aroma with some sweetness. It has a sweet and thin light taste that gets a bit sour at the end. Very little bitterness as it finishes light and weak. Nothing amazing.

Usually, I’m not a fan of Anheuser Busch’s products. But I got to try this beer at a bar (for free!) and I actually liked it. It had a flavor that was totally unlike any of the domestics. This is much better than Bud or Michelob.

I’m going to comment on this beer by telling a story. Once upon a time, in a great land called America, there were many diverse kinds of delicious beer. Then, in 1929, a political episode lead to what the people call "The Great Depression." Economically, life sucked for everyone. So one beer company, called Anheuser Busch decided that they would make beer more affordable by introducing an "adjunct sugar" namely, rice. So for years, the people of America grew blind to the idea of good beer and drank the swill peddled by AB. But due to growing internationalism of their economy, people began sampling imported beers, and began to grow weary of their crappy Budweiser. And the people factioned off into two groups to deal with this problem. One group said "Let’s get rich and buy beers from Germany and Belgium" and one group said "Let’s brew our own good beer. We’ll be labelled as ’craft brewers’ but at least we can get a decent glass of the gods’ own nectar" Well Anheuser Bush had spies in the meeting places of all these people, and the evil spies decided they could market a bad imitation of a Dutch beer called Heineken and draw the people back to crappy American beer. So whether you’re an import guy or a craft brew guy, don’t fall for the evil trap proposed by Anheuser Busch. Stay away from this evil, anti-capitalist, monopolistic swill. I’d rather drink my own urine. I brought a bottle of this to my friend who I’ve been introducing to good beers and he took one sip and poured it down the drain of his kitchen sink. If offered one of these, I recommend you do the same. The End.

Ok, so I am going to make a beer and call it The Worlds Best Beer. Then I am going to charge a shitload of money for a sixer and then I am going to fill my bottles, that I have labeled, "The Worlds Best Beer" with cat piss. And you know what? It would still be better than this sad, sad, attempt that Anheuser has put out. I heard a story that the 10 brewmasters just got all stoned and made this stuff. Damn hippies! Oh yeah I only gave it a 4 on appearance cause at least the label is attractive. Don't be fooled for there is evilness inside. Here is a helpful little hint. Don't buy this beer/swill. If you actually want to try this this is what you do. You go somebody that you see at parties a lot, but don't like at all(he will probably be one of those bud light drinking queers). Start raving and ranting about this beer and then at the next party he will have a sixer that he paid a lot of money for. Then ask if you can try it cause you miss it so much. Then after trying it tell him he is a stupid dipshit and should burn in hell. Hahahahahaha. He will probably be mad that you told him to buy this crappy beer and you got to try this swill for free and now you can give it a horrible rating too and hopefully lower it's percentile even farther!! Go do it. It will be fun.

I must be the only one who likes this stuff as it seemed doomed to begin with. Too pricey! However, a decent stab at the Euro lager and sooo much better than normal Bid or any mass market US lager. Nice try, but a little too seltzery. I wanted to like it so badly.

Am I the only person embarassed by AB’s portrayal of this swill........."World Select Lager"....I’m not even going to ask for a break. I tasted it on tap at the hopitality tent at SeaWorld Orlando. and it stunk bad. Aroma is trademark Anheuser maltiness with weak bitter notes. Utilitarian golden color with some rising bubbles, extremely sparkly, and no head. Sweetly bitter flavor that leaves behind a very metallic aftertaste. Ultra-light and somewhat non-refreshing palate. Basically, some enhanced slop.

Ok, this beer is better then Budweiser, but not by a lot. Then again, urine from a dehydrated crack whore is better then Bud, so I guess that?s not really a fair comparison.
