Bud Extra (B-to-the-E)

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

Pours very pale yellow with a thin fizzy white head that has poor retention. Aroma is redbull, straw, and corn. Flavor is redbull, mineral water, bitter herbal notes, off grain notes and cherry jello. Finish is corn and artificial berry flavors. Palate is thin, acidic, way overcarbonated and extraordinarily dry. Not very good. I am not sure why this stuff still exists as I am pretty sure they were ordered to take away the energy drink add-ins in some lawsuit. It tastes much more like an energy drink than beer.

16oz can claims 6.0% abv. Extremely clear light pale yellow with large fading bright white head. Aroma of a redbull. Flavor is like that of a sweettart, with a raspberry tart finish. Not awful, i probably wont be able to drink the whole can though

Couldnt really tell this was a beer tasted more like a energy drink Straw color with a small white head. Aroma is fruity with a sweet tart character-cherries. Flavor is of tart cherries,sweet like candy

Can. The ’label’ is a bit different than the one on the site, it only mentions raspberry flavors, not caffeine or whatever. I guess its the same beer. Anyway, pours a clear golden with a medium, but quickly dissipating head. The aroma reminds me of pixie sticks, really. The aroma is quite strong and not exactly horrible, but for a beer this is very odd. A light and watery body along with a sugary sweet and sour body. This is so far from a typical beer flavor, and in a bad way. Not disgusting, but really I think I’d rather drop pixie sticks into water.

From a 1 pint can marked 8-06-25-D-2- MA. The label says Raspberry flavored but the commercial description on this page does not mention that. I hope I have the right one. It pours clear yellow with an overpowering aroma of raspberry. But whether this raspberry is real or raspberry flavoring I am not sure. The taste is w-a-a-y too much raspberry. It tastes like a wine cooler. This was a drain pour. Not one of Bud’s better ideas.

First of all if I want to get a caffeine buzz while I’m drinking I’ll drink a cup of coffee or do a jager bomb. This was pretty much horrid, by no means necessary is this a beer. Flavored seltzer water with some alcohol and caffeine.

Sampled in the BrewMaster’s Club at Busch Gardens Williamsburg on 07/10/2008. Very clear pale golden body with a small frothy white head. Sweet fruity almost redbull aroma. More rebull flavor with a grainy background that takes over. Medium light body with fairly high carbonation.

Not really a beer, but a decent wine cooler that gets you good and awake and slightly buzzed before getting to the real stuff.
