Bud Extra (B-to-the-E)

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.
