Anheuser World Lager (World Select)

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

This stuff is gross for the price they want for it. It is basically Bud, but a little smoother. Not much smoother however. It looks just like Bud too. This beer won't last on the market for long, so grab a six-pack and save it as a collectors item.

Had this one for free, and thank God I didn't pay for it. At $7.99 per six pack I'd rather buy Evian water. That aside Busch once again wasted its time getting all these "world class" brewers together to make this beer. It is basically a glorified, less skunky bud. The bottle is cool looking, but thats about all it has going for it. If you must drink a Lager, drink Harp

To me it seems that Anheuser-Busch is trying to get a piece of the Heineken market. Packaged the same, looks the same, and even reminds me of the taste a great deal. I'm not a big fan of heineken, so since this reminds me of said beer, I won't like this very much either.

Light golden in color, crystal clear. The head is initially medium in size, white, with very small bubbles. Head is mostly diminishing except for a thin white ring around the edge of the glass. Corny, grainy aroma (almost grassy) and somewhat sweet. Skunked flavor, with big sour grains, lightly sweet malt floating around somewhere in the background. Watery mouth feel leads to a non-existant aftertaste. I feel sorry for Anheuser-Busch if they think that this is an "extraordinary" offering. I went into this with a totally open mind, hoping that AB would surprise me with a class-act brew, but alas...

I was intrigued by the price coming from AB (over $6 a six pack) so I thought to myself that maybe AB had cut their brewsmasters loose for this one... no holds barred... boy was I ever wrong ! Much better than Bud, but not good enough to justify the hefty price

What can one say, for Bud, it's pretty good. Forgetting that, it's just an average, mass produced beer.

First off, this beer has a major handicap: the price. It’s over eight bucks a six pack, so if it doesn’t rock your world, you probably won’t buy it again. On the ratings front, it certainly smells better than other AB products. Hoppy, lightly sweet aroma ... Deep gold in color with a quickly diminishing head ... More flavorful than the average domestic "convenience store stuff," but that’s not saying much. Dry/hoppy start, with much the same on the finish. A bit on the weak side, ala most domestics, but it does have more character.... Dry and a bit weak on the palate as well ... Not bad stuff, but not great either. I wouldn’t purchase it again, simply based on the fact that I don’t believe it delivers what the price demands. But, as you can see from the rating, I don’t pride myself on being a "beer snob." Just because AB is on the label, doesn’t mean I’ll automatically pan the beer. For those of you with a similar mindset, I recommend giving this a shot, though I’ll wager most of you won’t buy it again.

Yeah, wow, this is certainly something extraordinary that brewers from around the world collaborated on, something special & world-class alright, world-class junk, really no better than any other beer that rolls out of the AB plants, this did have a bit more body than Bud, I would actually prefer this over Bud, it's a bit better but still nothing that AB should be screaming proud about
