Anheuser World Lager (World Select)

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

From a 12 oz. green bottle with a bottled on date on the below the back label. Poured a clear lager golden with a small foamy, bubbly topped white head. Aromas of funky, herbal hops and faint sweet grain malts. Good carbonation and a crisp, smooth light bodied mouthfeel. Tastes of sweet grainy malts and a lightly spicy, herbal hops, very soft in their bitterness, and a dryish grain husky finish with a lingering sterile metallic in the aftertaste. I want to like this, but in the end, I found it to barely passable, resembles Heineken in many ways, but I thought it could use a little more body and hop flavor.

Golden pour, no surpise.. the head is white and bubbly. Aroma is of corn, maybe a bit of grassiness. Sweet and sugary taste, skunky. OK... it tastes slightly better than Bud, but at this price you’re banging at SA’s door and their stuff is much better than this. I think the 10 countries they represented with this beer are Panama, New Guinea, American Samoa, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia and Stankonia amongst others.

Pours a straw like yellow color with a soapy head that doesn’t stick around for long. Aroma is maybe some malts, corn, and a light bready scent. Flavor is lackluster with corn, a very light malt note, and of course Anheusers signiture ingredient....Water. Palate is everso slightly bitter/sweet and watery. Overall, It’s a small step up from regular Budwieser.

Pours golden yellow. Little to no head, like most domestics. Finishes with a slight bitter taste, akin to a Heineken or other german brew. I guess this would be good "lake" beer, but thats about it.

For being a World Lager I expected something extraordinary. What I got was a piss yellow watery swill that tasted of saltwater, light grains, and citrus. Also had a vile solvent skunky aroma that reminds one of rubber cement. Not impressed at all.

The 12 ounce bottle poured a crystal clear pale golden colored beverage with a small fizzy head that was entirely gone in 60 seconds and left almost no noticeable lacing on the glass. The aroma was of rich roasted malt and bread dough with a hint of floral hops in the background. The body was medium-light with lively carbonation and a watery texture. The flavor starts off with a light, uncomplicated sweetness - slightly fruity - that lasts through the medium-short finish.

No head on the pour, a golden color. Slightly skunky taste, reminded me of heiniken. The bitterness is a little too much for me to be enjoyable. I dont see this beer around as much as I used to, it must have lost its short popularity.

I never thought that this would happen but they made something truly palatable. It’s like a bud but sweeter. Not that nasty hurricane sweet neither. A good sweet. Definently nothing to freak out over, but it’s interesting to see budweiser try to make something that’s a little bit more marketable to the microbrew croud.
