Michelob Ultra

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

Bottle. pale straw colored beer, little head. Took 2 sips and poured it out. Not the worst beer I’ve ever had, but this is very bad. Little malt, little anything, but a whole lotta bad flavor - very slight graininess to go with an overcarbonated water.

Tastes like Michelob, just worse with less body, if that is possible. Did not make me want to excercise. Great gimmick though.

Rule #1: never buy bad beer. Rule #2: if the opportunity comes to try a beer, however bad it is likely to be, at least try it. And so it came to pass that I had opportunity to try for free two beers I had never tried before, this being one of them. The beer has a clear, light ginger ale body with a white head. Aroma, surprisingly enough, has some floral qualities. My hopes thus raised were quickly dashed when I tasted seltzer water with a dash of graininess -- yuck!

I don’t like light beers that much. Seeing that this is the lightest of all, I really don’t like it.

95 calories for this beer. Not only is it a low carb beer, but it will probably cause you to yack up any carbs or food you previously consumed. A step above Corrs Light taste-wise.

The stuff smells pretty skunky (and I had the canned version). The taste isn't repulsive: it's just not there. One of the lightest light beers out there.

Looks like sparkling wine. I’ve never seen a whiter head on any beer. This beer really sucks, wouldn’t bother trying it. It was free from a distributer.

1/4/03. Poured out of 12 oz. bottle, stolen from my father's fridge in Bloomington, CA 1/4/03. Glad I didn't pay for this one. Pours a very runny-looking, extremely pale yellow. Looks weak. Mediocre head that lingers in a thin whisp with very active carbonation streaming up the glass constantly. Surprisingly good lacing. Aroma is pretty faint, and it smells liks a clean pilsner with a faint trace of fish guts thrown in-- something slightly funky going on in there. No hop character, very little of interest at all, and it's a little bit off-putting. Initial taste has a bit of tartness and sourness to it, almost like a sour apple candy without much of the apple. Masks the malt (what little there is). After swallowing, and after your mouth is cleansed of the lingering carbonation sting, the bottom just drops out onto the finish. A little bit doughy and not much else. Not very long. Extremely thin and fizzy in the mouth harshly humming with carbonation. Not a good beer. Not even close.
