Surprisingly better than the original. Not as bitter. It must be light on the nasty.

24 oz. can. No freshness date seen. Cryptic date code on bottom of can. Poured out a very clear, very pale shade of yellow. Barely any color at all. Aromas are of yeasty bread, not much else. Thin, soapy head that disappeared quickly. Flavors are of rice, and slight caramel notes as well. Thin body, thin mouthfeel. Not much going for it, but it’s fine for a hot summer day when you want a beer, but don’t want to get hammered.

A weak version of Bud light with very little to no flavor. They took everything out to brew this. This is a kids beer maybe to get them ready for the good stuff. A hugley light American Lager that needs to add hopps , malt, barley, and some time in the lagering tanks.

Smells incredibly skunky. I think I like this a little more than the original, but I wouldn’t buy it conciously again.

12oz bottle served cold. Aroma is toasted corn and pours a pale golden color. Small head that leaves no lacing. Taste is typical for an AB beer. Watery and light on the alcohol and hops but full of a corn flavored maltiness which is not entirely bad but suffers from a lack of complexity. Certainly, I would rank this lower if it wasn’t a light beer.

Pale straw pour with moderate head retention. Aroma of malt, and sweet corn. Sweet taste, with a hint of hops and malt, and a green apple taste. Light mouthfeel, with high carbonation.

Uh...same as Bud Ice, only lighter! What can you say about AB that hasn’t already been said?

When faced with the grim choice, is the only Bud product I will spend money on or drink. Better than regular Bud or Buf Light, but that ain’t saying much.
