Anheuser World Lager (World Select)

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

Apple juice body with medium off-white head. Aroma is mild grassy with minimal sweetness. Taste is bland, mildly sweet with the hint of grassy. Clean light body. Pretty inoffensive beer, which is a noticeable improvement for AB.

So disappointing. Not surprised, just disappointed... considering I paid over $1.00 for the bottle. I opened the green bottle and a skunk jumped right out of it at me. It went for the jugular, but I fended it off. I would like to say this is a better brew than Michelob or Budweiser, but I really can't. There's no excuse for this beer being lightstruck since it was brewed in America and is pretty darned fresh. The only difference between this beer and all other A-B products is that I didn't get the adjunct headache associated with all their other brews. Oh, and the hops are actually detectable. Weak brew. Don't spend your dollars on this one... whether they be Euro or American.

A-B got their "top brewmasters representing 10 countries around the globe" to come up with this concoction. What a joke and a lame excuse for charging extra for this junk. (Luckily I got away with only one GREEN bottle.) It tastes like each brewmaster came up with a recipe and they mixed them all together. This is "World Class" only in the sense that the world is rapidly going to hell in a handbasket.

Rather lifeless looking light golden liquid with a tall wispy off white head that fades to a small layer of big bubbles. Small amount of lace. Sweet euro malt nose, after initial volatile hops are driven off. Yes, sweet, sharp and crisp. Lacks depth and character. No soul to speak of. A brew to compete with the other green bottled imports. Sorry, but we already have this type of brew available, not extraordinary, just ordinary.

Pours a normal pale yellow color just like bud, same fizzy head. Aroma has notes of light damage and hops. The flavor is dry and bitter with a bit of a malty finish. This wasn't that good of a beer, I'd actually take a budweiser over this one.

Bottle. Clear amber color with a small white head that diminished quickly. Small hoppy grain aroma. Light to medium body with a thin texture. Small bitter flavor with light finish. Not my selection.

Slightly more palatable than regular Bud, with a few extra points for aroma, taste, and overall. The green bottle is a typical AB cost-saving insult, proving that they will never learn, and all their talk about using the best ingredients is pure bullshit. Sorry, Augie, try again.

Sampled on tap at Maxfields. Fizzy yellow beer with a white head. Bizarre lemony aroma with rotten eggs. Standard lager taste, a bit sweet and really boring. Good thing it was free.
