Busch NA

Brewed by Anheuser-Busch InBev
Style: Low Alcohol
St. Louis, Missouri USA

Volgon’s 2000th celebratory beer and he was kind enough to share with me and DirtyMike. Actually I don’t blame him for wanting to share since if it were me, I’d have dumped it down the drain. Nice head over a slightly coppery piss-yellow color (a little darker than I had expected. Smells like flat, damaged rice. Tastes like a fizzy nothingness.

Sweet review Barry - I’m proud to be one of the damn Canucks you came to steal Bucks from. Watching you funnel that splendid American brew was a highlight for us all. If only I had the sense to add the Jim Beam to mine....as it was however I enjoyed a totally see-through, pretty much odourless, pretty much flavourless "beer" that somehow was drinkable - and in fact was almost preferable to one of the beers with alcohol we tried. I’m never going to have it again mind you, but the funnel for #2000 was perfect.

Well me an’ Dwayne, he’s my best buddy an’ all since we wuz in high school an’ burn down th’ science lab, tho’ I’m still a’pissed at his hide fer stealin that fine piecea a** tammy sue away, tho’ she did blow up like a state fair heffer I think that’s Dwayne whut did that not treatin’ her right an’ all....well, anyway, we wuz so mad at alla them fellas at th’ plant, theyuz all like hatin’ on th’ President an’ stuff cuzza they must like them Arabs...so anyways, we decides to go up ta Canadia ta Dwayne’s dad’s cousin’s friend’s cabin, an’ I know them Canucks hates the prez too but hell we figgered we’d be all alone an’ hunting’ us some nice bucks an’ just puttin’ back some cold ones an’ we’d show them damn Canucks I tell you whut by takin’ theys bestes’ bucks. Well we wuz all set to do it up fine with a coupla cases a the ol’ Red White an Blue, thats Bud an’ anywone drinks anythin’ differnt is a goddamn Commie bastard fairy. But somehow it gots lef’ behind and affer we finish hollerin’ and rippin’ into t’other one fer being sucha idiot we decides shit we gotta go buy some brew at one’a these here Canuck stores and allas they gots Busch, an’a bunch Canajun shit, an’ so we gets the Busch cuz you know its American anyways, an’ its not so bad an’ this funny Canuck money’s cheap anyways, an’ then we gets back ta camp an’ we fin’ out thet halfa it (cuz we bought two twelves) is thet stuff fer alkyhawlics an’ people whuts get sick on the real stuff, an’ so we jes’ pour sum Jim Beam innit cuz it tase like ginger ale otherwise, an’ you know whut? It ain’t so bad. I’m shore lookin’ forrard to me an’ Dwayne doin’ it up right at Bobbie Jo’s cousin’s (thats my cousin-in-laws you know) nex’ week, gonna have a half of MGD you know, don’t get that lucky ever’ week.

No aroma. Clear gold with thin white head that recedes to ring. Mildly sweet flavour. Some mild sweetness in the flavour. Decent carbonation and mouthfeel. While this is by no means a good substitute for beer, it is inoffensive and, against expectations, was not the worst of the tasting session and actually was well worth it to see Barry pound it back through a funnel for number 2000. Way to go Barry! Can enjoyed with beerhugger, CapFlu, DumDum, muzzlehatch, radiomgb and Rastacouere.

(Can) THIS BREWERY ROCKS - I cannot get enough of it! Wait, nope... that is my next review for Southampton. This beer was poured down a black Canadian Tire funnel into a waiting New Englanders stomach and, supposedly, making some counter-remark towards the beering society - I honour his fearlessness but question his wisdom? This beer poured a thin, white, quick dissipating head and a golden body. No carbonation. Nose of club soda. No flavour. No satisfaction...

Not as bad as Sharps or O’Douls. Not much taste, didn’t expect much, had it ice cold in iced mug. Did not have as much of the non-alcohol zing taste as the others

Gut wrenching, piss water. Like drinking skunk piss from a can. With this beer you would be better to drown than drown your sorrows.

This tastes like...a light non-alcoholic brew. It is not...bad per se, yet it very professionally maneuvers away from being ’good’. It doesn’t have much ’taste’, or a ’palate’ to describe, but it is somehow less offensive than the regular, foul Busch. So, if I were going for something boring and dull and without alcohol, well, I think on second thought I’d just choose tea or something...
