Bud Light Golden Wheat

Brewed by Anheuser-Busch InBev
Style: Wheat Ale
St. Louis, Missouri USA

12oz bottle -pours a dissipating tan head and gold color. Aroma is musty/dank barn, grain. Taste is slightly sweet light malt, musty/dank barn, hint of hops.

Bottle. Pour is almost clear golden color. White head. Aroma is malty, faintly citrus, light light wheat and a faint spice. Flavor is almost really good. Its nicely acidic up front with a light citrus kick. But then a lightly acrid and slightly cloying flavor hits that kind of ruins it. Without that part, it would have been a pretty good drink. Finish is crisp with some lingering acrid components.

Bottle and I dare say served in my smaller Ayinger glass: Pours a clean straw colored hue with a nice light bubbly head but not much lace. The aroma has notes of lemon and orange zest, light coriander and wet grains, some veggies, and a touch aspirin. Actually smells pretty nice but then I tasted it. Well what you expected, there is a watered down pale malts and corn note of the base Bud Light with just a bit of citric and spice undertone, the wheat is there but subdued. The medicinal and grainy aftertaste I dislike in most AB products is very apparent. Watery and spritzy mouth feel. Well it has drinkability and an improvement over regular BL, well I wanted to use slamability but it simply is not. (think Blue Moon Light and you get the idea).

I had a couple of samples of this beer. It had an aroma of citrus and grassy hops, some orange, and a bit of yeast. The beer had a pale gold-amber color with a very small white head that had little retention and cling. It had a sweet orange and grainy taste with a bit of bitterness, but the taste was somewhat light. The palate was thin with low carbonation and a touch on the dry side without much mouthfeel. Overall it is not bad for a light, wheat beer, but would be hard to drink much of this one.

Tastes like bud light, still mostly adjuncts but a miniscule amount of wheat instead of barley. I think the marketing people at AB noticed Blue moon was creeping up on their market share and came up with this beauty.

It is better than bud light. There are some limited wheat notes on the mouthfeel and finish. You can sense the spices lightly. Not so much on the nose.

12 ounce bottle from Dan’s Market. Pours a mostly clear bright orange color with a small white head. The aroma is grains and wheat and light spices. The flavor is actually pretty nice; smooth citrus and light spices, loads of grains. Somewhere in there that odd chemical like bud-light flavor seeps in, its hidden mostly, but it does come to the fore. Otherwise, a pretty light and decent brew.

Bottle. Pours a cloudy golden-yellow/yolk color with a large, foamy, white head that fades very slowly. Taste is of citrus, hops and wheat. Slightly sweet. Similar aroma. Refreshing, clean, very easy to drink and rather enjoyable, considering the low price point. Worth picking up again, especially during a hot day.
