Busch NA

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

SpringsLicker’s Fish Fry. Sample from a can thanks to Suttree. Crystal clear yellow with a thin white fuzz. Aroma is water, some grain. Taste is water. Not that offensive. But taste is about like...water.

Pours an extremely light yellow color with a very small thin head, almost no lacing. Below average carbonation with a slight smell of sweet hops. Tastes like colored water not much taste or body at all. Water is the dominant flavor. Drink and piss. Again, water is the dominant flavor.

Pale golden color, head started out pretty big but disappeared rather quickly, very little lacing left around the glass as well, nose full of corn & stale malts, very light & watery body, bubbly mouthfeel with light notes of toasted barley & bread, bland finish, the Busch beers with alcohol are no good, and neither is their NA offering

So this is the supposed worst beer on RateBeer? I’ve had a lot worse, mostly brewpubs that put nothing less than an abortion of a beer on tap. See... the more ingridients you add to a beer, I believe the worse off it could possibly become. Therefore, if you don’t put a lot into a beer, like Busch NA, I don’t see how it can really taste so damn awful. The Lost Lake I had the other night was worse than this. Now, I’m not saying this is anything great, no way. The nose is still pretty putrid, full of straw, corn, and fuel (butane). Frothy, fizzy, pale, thin, oily, tastes a little bit like celery. Bad, but not the worst. That title belongs to Molson 0.5 and the Groggs beers (all of them).

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.

Can -- courtesy of biegaman. Fourth beer of the "Not-Very-Good-Beers-Tasting" - Day 1. Pours a clear gold with an average size crazy-bright white head -- looks a little unnatural. Aroma: Oh god, how does one describe this? Garbage for sure, some sewage, lots of vegetal notes, grain and burnt stuff -- best I can do really. Flavour’s a little better, thank goodness: Watery, grainy and vegetal. Light bitter-like finish that is awful and quite unpleasant. Light bodied. The aroma is downright offensive and the flavour is bad -- why would someone drink this regularly? It boggles the mind.

Clear carbonated yellow with a darker tinge than I expected. White head. Skunky aroma with, yes, some dough. Extremely watery palate. Half doughy nothing/half vile taste. I found myself not wanting to swallow. Who drinks this?

Sampled at Bockyhorsey’s Bocky Bash on 7-5-08. Number 600! Thanks Bill, though I’m a little curious why you had this in the house... As for the rating: Anheuser Busch, using detailed and proven scientific methods, discovered everything good and desirable about beer. Then they invented a way to remove all of it. This is the result. Cheers!
