Anheuser World Lager (World Select)

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

What crap this is. Why green? This beer is quite well skunked. A bit more flavor than other Anheuser products but I predict this one isn't going to be around too long.

Pours light gold, small white head, and lots of carbonation. Right when I opened the bottle it was like a smack of funkiness. Malt, skunky hops. Lightstricken goodness. Well, the flavor is blah if nothing else. Some malts, some hops. Nothing great, or good.

Bartender wanted me to try this(and got it for free)so here goes.Pours the usual watery, pale yellow.Head and lacing was OK, but not promising. Aroma was nothing that stands out, and the flavor was boring and the usual AB fare. Nice try by AB to imitate a European lager, but not even close to being as good.

"Budeken" ain't too bad... nice attempt by Anheuser-Busch to clone a green bottled European lager. Not as much hop bite as the European beers they tried to imitate, but still very simular to them. As others have said, I would probably buy this fairly regularly if it were priced about the same as other A-B products. Cool bottle. Decent beer.

Straw Gold. Fizzy fading head. Light aroma, almost non-existent. Hint of grass and sulfur, maybe butter or corn. Flavor equally light, clean and empty. Certainly approaching water and is basically refreshing slightly beery carbonated water. Weakest of malts up front, light hops rise in the finish, barely detectable. Impressively clean, though. This is as drinkable as the style can be, although this beer is surely very skunkable in the green bottle (careful selection from a dark shelf prevented my sample from being light struck - to which it is no doubt prone).

First time I had seen this beer in Oregon bought a single as the six pack was way too exspensive.Nice looking green bottle by the way. Pretty average looking pale golden lager..small bubly head , minimal lacing. Average hop roama ( saaz)..fresh at least. A sweet tasting lager..very sweet and this dominates the tongue for 2/3 of the mouthful..there is a a small astringent hop aftertaste. Too carbonated for my tastes and horribly cloying on the back of the tongue. Not drinkable. For $8.49 a sixer this is very poor..way worsethan the "imports" it hopes to beat..I had a Becks after this and realy there is no comparison..the Beck's kicked this into touch.

Pours with a two-fingered head and actually leaves a good lace. Light carbonation and very light bodied. Color is a clear, golden amber. Hoppy nose. Starts with a mix of hops and malt, finishes slightly bitter. You know it won't be good with a green bottle but a good lawn mower beer. Expensive for A-B, $1.29 for a 12oz bottle.

I love pilsners so this was right up my alley, kind of tasted like Labbatt Blue. I would definitely buy this stuff again although it is a bit on the expensive side.
