Bud Extra (B-to-the-E)

Cool. Anheuser-Busch has found a way to bottle waterd down, cherry flavoured, Dayquil.

Can... Clear, straw-colored lager with a large, frothy, white head. Smells like berry jelly... every berry jelly ever created swirled into one. Tastes like a 70/30 mix of Red Bull energy drink and Budweiser beer. Medium-bodied and oily with soft carbonation. Sweet/tart, metallic-bitter finish. Everything else aside, this is a drink with a purpose! 6.6% ABV and lots of caffeine (guarana is basically caffeine as well), this shit will blurr your vision while making you feel wide-awake enough to fight and/or drive. Dangerous as Red Bull and Vodka! What’s the point? More late night fights? More wide-awake drunks on the road? More bouncers at bars? That’s it. The U.S. Bouncer P.A.C lobbied AB for this creation. Job security, you know.

Small 10oz can. Smells of cherries, and tastes of very tart yet also sweetened sour candies mixed with beer. About 1/2 and 1/2 of each, I’d guess. Lots of head, but not overly carbonated. Plenty of flavor, but expect a tartish/sweetish kriek lambic meets lager experience. Nothing wring with it, it’s just very unusual. Some caffeine in there to jolt you awake as well. A malternative, whether Anheuser-Busch admits it or not.

10 oz. Can. Pale straw yellow with a fast disappearing head and fizzy carbonation. Smells of stale bread, cherry sweettarts and grapefruit soda. The taste is mostly watered down apple juice, with just a touch of strawberry kool-aid. The finish is musty and slightly metallic. Barely drinkable.

this is an amazing brew. has the tartness of a nice kriek, the caffeine kick of a well crafted coffee stout, the appearance of an amazing pilsner all with anheuser-busch’s trade mark smoothness..................ok, so i bought this for $0.99 at a liquor store that was probably trying to get rid of it. and for what it was it was interesting and worth a try. of course i split this with someone and was happy to just drink 5 ouces rather than the entire 10. poured actually an impressive head for macro swill. appearance was similar to typical golden piss yellow bud product but with better head that left decent lace on the glass. aroma is herbal, not in a hoppy way, but more of a fruity medicinal way. as an energy drink this rocks, but as a beer is seriously lacking. are the natural flavors added sugar??? this definately tasted like some malternative or just a mix of watered down beer and red bull or amp or whatever slim canned caffeine drink does it for you.

Smells like perfume with some swill in the back. Tastes like redbull. Definitely inoffensive swill. This is fucked up.

Clear, pale-straw, fizzy body with a soda-like, effervescent white head. Sweet aroma of artificial candy citrus and fruit flavor. Some meek and pathetic malt is barely detectable in the background. Tastes like Red Bull meets Sprite meets Bud Ice. Glimpses of a bland malt liquor appear in the aftertaste. Spritzy, syrupy, watery palate. This is a bastard, mongrel beer that doesn’t deserve to exist. In a few years, we’ll forget that it ever did.

Its a mix of redbull type energy drink and beer. Comes in a tiny little can ... my roommates and I were intrigued by it after the AB brewery tour so we went and bought a ... 4? pack. Why its a 4 pack, almost wants to make me not buy it. But don’t worry I wont buy it again, unless I am really drunk and plan on trying to stay awake all night while drinking...which I don’t. Its a novel concept and with the $ AB can throw around it was a good idea, although looks like a flop.
