Bud Extra (B-to-the-E)

Brewed by Anheuser-Busch InBev
Style: Spice/Herb/Vegetable
St. Louis, Missouri USA

Bottle. Pale gold in colour. Aromas are light malts, apple and ginseng. Quite sour. Basically Red Bull with traces of beer. Flavours are Red Bull with all its chemicals, artificial sweetner. No beery character. A(nother) cynical marketting ploy.

10oz can: I broke down and tried one of these "beers". It look like a beer, with a huge, fizzy white head that dropped to nothing almost immediately. The color is a bit different from your standard yellow. It almost has an apple juice look to it. The aroma is actually a bit sweet, somewhat candy-like. No hints of anything beer-like. It tastes kind of corn syrup sweet, with a hint of fizziness on the tongue. Again, no evidence of beer. I guess there is a market for this, but it isn’t beer drinkers.

I tried this at the A-B brewery. No beer taste whatsoever. Tastes like an energy drink. I could easily get trashed off this stuff.

Bottle. Dull pale gold colour. Sweet aroma, smells kinda like Red Bull. Palate is sweet and thin, quite sugary. Peach/apricot flavoured candy floss. Way too sugary. Luckily i got this one for free.

It would be an insult to the name swill to classify this as such. It looks like orange Gatorade and tastes like watered-down Tang with a hint of kerosene. The formaldahyde odor alone was enough to warn me off, but I managed to take a few sips, in the name of science of course. Undrinkable....thoroughly undrinkable. It left my mouth feeling foul and my tastebuds feeling violated.

Can. Sampled at the liquor store that I used to work at. We all thought that it was gross when it came out. Tastes like a watered down engergy drink. Carbonation was good, but the swill itself was nasty. Not even worthy of the .22 LR bullets I use for Bad Beer Target Practice. Treat it like a dead raccoon: Avoid.

Beer vodka and redbull in the one bottle, iv made it myself before and it was just as good as this stuff.

This is not a beer, it doesn’t smeel like a beer, or taste like a beer. However the cafeine helps me drink more real beer later, however i could do without this one
