Bud Light

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

This was a year-old bottle I had been aging with care in hopes of mellowing. I heard the batch from January 12th, 2008 was a little hot. Pours a light golden color with a whispy white head that disolves instantly. Aroma is grain and rice, with just a hint of banana from the aging. Flavor is light and refreshing. This beer certainly benefitted from the year-long aging process.

Thin and yellow. Beer flavored water. Not good. But not horrible either....

Bottle split with Barrios at woody’s. Clear very pale yellow pour with minimal white head. Aroma and flavor of corn and grain. Thin body with moderate carbonation. Not as bad as some.

Watery yellow color, felt like water on the palate. Not much flavor at all. Trying to think of something good to say....not the worst I’ve ever had.

12oz bottle. Pours a fading white head and clear pale yellow body. Smells of malt. Tastes of malt with a faint hint of hops. Thin and watery.

TAP, BOTTLE, CAN: this beer is terrible, fizzy, very light and thin, not much taste

Nasty. Crap. Ca-Ca. The drink of the typical Joe Six pack, but certainly not me.

Bud Light is perhaps the most well known beer in the U.S. The advertising campaign for this beverage is monstrous and mostly likely you’ve had one (or a dirty 30) of these at some point. I’m not entirely sure if this drink qualifies as a beer however and it’s possible Anhueser-Busch InBev might agree. After all, the word ’beer’ isn’t mentioned in recent commercials I’ve seen for the product. Beer or not, Bud Light pours a pale canary yellow and has a sudsy head that quickly shrinks. Very thin body - like drinking fizzy, carbonated water. Minimal flavors here: a syrapy sweetness combined with some lemongrass. Absolutely no detection of hops. The aftertaste is stale and flat. For another dollar at the bar you can get yourself a Hefeweizen. It will taste 1,000 times better and still have that ’drinkability’ they talk about in the advertisements.
