Michelob Ultra

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

my girlfriend left a 1 pint, 8 fl. oz. bottle in my fridge (and no, that is not some lame excuse, i give every beer a chance). what can i say? because of the size i had plenty of time to think about this beer. it’s a sweet, pale yellow, watered down brew that doesn’t offer a whole lot except for low carbs. i’m sorry, i’m not sure that i want to finish this.

Some corn and some malt with a slight fizzy character and nothing much else. WTF was I thinking? (probably about reaching 600).

Draft on tap at BW3 in Worthington OH. Pretty much what you would expect from a low carb beer. Little white bubbly head. No aroma. Lite on flavor. I must say that the drafts I had were cold and well carbonated. No aftertaste. No buzz.

Wife came home with a 6-pack. Looks, smells, and tastes like a watered-down Budweiser. Very corny with straw and sugar. Sucks.

Bottle. Once again I find myself wondering why I’m bothering pouring this into a glass... ahh, the things I do for the greater good of beer democracy. Anyhow, there is a slight difference between the color of this and that of tap water. I’d say Ultra is about two shades darker. Has a big head, fizzy and quickly fading. Aroma is the only thing worth mentioning... a little bit of a peppery flavor adds some intrigue and I find myself thinking, "Could this be better than I expect?" Then I take a sip... wait, did I? Can’t tell... there is no flavor in my mouth that would suggest beer. But that aroma... huh? Really something.

Bottle. Without particular flavour. Goes against my thoughts of, "If I’m having a beer, I don’t care about the carbs/cals", so I hadn’t tried it sooner. A smooth beer, but possibly because it is overall lacking in flavour. I’d drink it before other light beers (cough cough, HEINEKEN) but wouldn’t seek it out for certain.

Extra pale yellow, wispy head. Served cold in a chilled mug. No aroma, little flavor(a bit grainy). Pretty much what you would expect. This could be worse though. This is more or less inoffensive, just nothing there.

Bottle. Pours clear and light yellow with faint white head. Aroma is light malt, very light and maybe a hint of wet cardboard. Flavor is nearly non existant, however tastes more like beer than water. I realize the drive for low carb beer however I find with this beer that if this were a necessity for me, I’d quit drinking altogether.
