Bud Extra (B-to-the-E)

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

from the can to my glass, and hopefully down my throat. pour is gold yellow with a white head that fades fast. aroma is medicinal sourness with mango. taste is horrid zima and jolly rancher sweetness with fake orange flavor. it tastes like really bad orange candy and cheap wine. what kind of fool would ever want another after trying this once? if i needed the energy to stay upo and drink i would grab some coffee and pour some whiskey in it or do a line of something, drugs are a better decision than this beer.

Decided to get fancy and toss this in a La Chouffe Tulip. Smells like powdered kool-aid (cherry flavor) and a little like a red bull. Utterly transparent pale yellow with a nice starting head that fades to nothing in short order. Hmmm tastes like an under carbonated Red bull with sweet tarts dissolved in it. Can’t taste any alcohol...at 6.6% you can usually notice some.

Foamy/frothy, large, white head is soapy around the edges. Pale straw hue with visible carbonation. Unmistakeable aroma of stale gas-station blueberry muffins. Medicinal and soapy...sort of like talcum powder. Metallic as well. Rather stank-nasty, honestly. Heavily sweet, moderately acidic flavor. Heavily sweet, moderately acidic, moderately astringent finish. Cloying fruit sweetness tops even Lindemann’s. Chalky yet sticky sweet finish. Medium-light body, lively carbonation. It’s like I’m drinking Nyquil and chlorinated pool water. Ick ick ick.

First beer I’ve had out of a can in who knows how long. "B-to-the-E"? Wicked lame name. It looks like clear yellow with a quickly dissipating head. Citrusy aroma. It doesn’t really taste much like beer, more like some kind of carbonated fruit drink....like a watered down Orangina.

Well, I never could work up the desire to spend the money on a sixpack of this stuff, especially if I’d be stuck with 5 cans I didn’t want to drink. I was, however, surprised to find a gas station selling single cans of it for $1.50. Its really worth much less than that but I didn’t have any qualms over spending that much on a new experience, or experiment. Well: Experiment Failed. Typical straw color, fizzy head. Berryish aroma. Flavor weird, candyish with cheap beer undertones, unpleasant bitter herbal finish.

Can. This is certainly the most disgusting mainstream beer i’ve had. It tastes like beer mixed with Sparks alc-energy drink. And if you don’t know what that tastes like, its kind of like (is?) oversugared orange tang mixed with really bad vodka. And B to the E captures that taste, but mixed with Budweiser. I’ll pass, this fails.

Smells better than the usual bud but looks the same. This tastes more like a Red Bull than a beer - that said, it probably is better than regular bud.

Bottle. This a’int beer, it is a fruit drink. Piss yellow with no head. Nose reminds me of Kool-Aid and fruit juice. Strong notes of pineapple and pear are in the flavor. It doesn’t taste bad, but it a’int beer, so I will score it neutral.
