Bud Extra (B-to-the-E)

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

Can: Light clear yellow with a thin white head. Smells like Pez candy, takes like water mixed with Pez, watery body, lively carbonation. What a pile of suck.

Bottle from RaceTrack in Addison, TX. Tastes like a wine cooler or sports drink with carbonation. Palate is thin, but this is made by a mass-producer. Oh well. Not bad; now, I can party all night long.

Bold Yellow Coloring. Aroma Encompasses the Grainy Sweet Malt of Bud and Also of Fruity, Candy (Notably Similiar to Sweet Tarts) . Taste is Similiar...Some Bud Characteristics but Super Sweet Syrapy Notes Dominating Taste. Guarana, Sweet Tart and Crisp Tart Aftertaste. Tastes Complex but Unbalanced. Sparks is a Better Energy Drink.

Picked it up just for the rating! 10oz can. On my way to the airport, heading to Phoenix. crystal clear, almost a hint of yellow. thin white spacey fizz on surface. aroma of this fizz bomb candy I used to get from the ice cream truck when I was younger that had this foamy crap in the middle of a hard candy. very sour. Tastes like water with a candy dissolved in it. Overall, this better give me a caffeine buzz!!

Here they go again - the marketing geniuses at Anheuser-Busch. Let’s brew a beer and mix it with a Red Bull type energy drink. Will it work, well, I dunno - here I am at 4am, still bouncing off the walls and buzzed out of my mind.... Nah, just kidding - I’m still waiting for the caffeine, guarana, and ginseng to kick in. I’m surprised that it has such a high abv! Now - what kind of glass to use....(yeah, I know, it’s a 10oz can - you should just pop the top and chug-a-lug). I settled on a Delerium snifter - poured with a nice 2 inch head, light yellow fizzy body, and no lacing. Taste and aroma were Tang and sweet-tarts. Actually, I think this tastes better than any other "energy drink" that I’ve tasted before. 6.6% abv - I’m still not sure if I should be chilled out or pumped up.

Pour is fizzy yellow with a fast fading white head...smell is sweet and fruity and genuinely smells like a Red Bull...tastes very sweet and citric, but the familiar AB corn flavor still existing on the sides of my tongue...I am quite shocked the ABV is this high too...wohlfs is totally right...impulse buy at the stupid beer store...I guess it is not bad for what it is though...I would definately drink this if I was out in a club and didn’t really want to drink liquor...

Really nasty, but if you imagine it is a Lambic, it is not as bad, but the end is almost unbearable. It was 5%.

Smells like sugary fruity peach pixie stixx. In a way, it smells like your proverbial apricot wheat. Hints of lime are present in the nose as well. Transparent straw blonde color with a decent sized white fizzy head that is quickly dissipating. Start is sweet and sugary with some sour astringent notes. Still has quite an apricot flavor to it as well. Corny malty/Budweiser aftertaste. This beer is no worse than many of the cmmercially available brewpub fruit beers. This has a fair amount of flavor if you like peaches and a small beer-like aftertaste. I’ll take this over Bud any day. This is a tad fizzy. Unique.
