Bud Ice

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

Pale golden colour (330 ml bottle), thin head. Slightly sweetish aroma, neutral watery palate. Introduced in 1994... Ten years of existence... Perhaps, that’s enough?

The aroma on here surprised me. It smells a little like honey. It’s also a honey sort of colour. It’s...not...that...bad actually. I’ll probably never get it again, but it’s not...that bad...::sip::...

This canned brew poured a large sized head of foamy finely sized mostly lasting white colored bubbles that left behind a poor lacing. The body was carbonated transparent and weak yellow orange in color. The mouth feel was bubbly and tingly initially with a astringent rice beer smooth finish. The flavor was better than ecpected with notes of rice weak malt astringent hops and weak dough. It does have 5.5% ABV and does seem to have a bit of a kick to it, more than a regular Bud.

Bottle. Tastes like regular Budweiser but without all the flavor and smoothness. This was not easy to get down.

[12 oz. bottle] This definitely falls into the I didn’t even know they still made this category. Poured a pale yellow with no head. Smelled like stale rice. Tasted like stale rice. Very watery, but it was 5.5%.

Looks like pizzle beer. Why do they even bother making this stuff. It doesn’t seem like there should be a place for it. If regular Bud ain’t strong enough for you try a malt liquor.

I hate this beer, it has a bitter nastiness even out of a bottle. The golden color reminds me of something else rather than beer.

Remove some of the water from Bud and what do you have? A really crappy beer that is a little stronger.
