Better than millers version of the lime thing. Still not very refreshing and not enjoyable

Bottle in Vegas. Pure clear yellow appearance. Aroma is a bland pale lager that reeks of lime. Flavor is basically a boring tasteless pale lager with tons of lime. Easy drinking but no body.

Too fizzy too sweet, reminds me of bad cider, however still somehow refreshing.

Definite aroma of lime with a hint of salt. Clear yellow in color with a minimal head. Has lively carbonation with a destinct salty lime finish. Oily in texture. Light body. This would be a refreshing beer on a hot summer day and that would be extent of it.

For a beer, this isn’t the best quality but it definitely has a drinkability quality too it. Feels and looks like budlight however has the hint of lime to it. It is an artificial lime flavor but isn’t bad. I would take this over budlight/other light beers anyday.

At first I did not care for this beer. However, it does have a great summertime feel to it. Its easy to drink like a budlight but has more of a mexican feel to it, similar to a corona. Perfect for a pool party. Cheers

Rating #1000! Ah, what a momentous event... so many beers, so many different styles tried. I have learned so much after tasting a thousand different beers throughout the world - what is a generally okay brew, what is adventurous, what is just plain wrong. Thus, for this momentous once-in-a-lifetime occasion, the question beleaguered me - what should I rate for number one thousand? Perhaps, deep down in my cellar, there is a fine Cantillon Jonge Lambik from 1983 just dying to be cracked open for this occasion? Or perhaps a fine sour ale, slightly chilled, poured into a trappist chalice on a warm Belgian night? Or even an amazing English ale at room temperature while watching footy; indeed, beer crosses cultures and experiences, and for this momentous experience, I thought I would dive deeper into the American culture, that of the United States of America, and a very specific demographic, one that I have always been fascinated by. Indeed, this demographic is a huge consumer of beer, but never a Cantillon or a London porter, no, it is always some kind of macro-brew. So, for rating number one thousand, I have the pleasure of rating: Bud Lime.
Hey, why not. the most Érudite of beer drinkers will point to Kriek as a predecessor that fruit-flavoured beers are perfectly acceptable, and they will be right. Indeed, adding a bit of lime could be no worse than the Jacobin’s habit of Passion fruit Kriek, could it? Or even just adding a lime to a Corona? Or the Parisian Haute-Couture experience of a Monaco-Panaché while idling your time in a café..... perhaps the frat-boys puking their brains out after thirty Bud Lights are not so far removed from the classy urban Euros?
So, this Bud Light Lime had been stored in my beer-slash-cognac cellar for many years, aged to perfection, arduously fermented by a million thousand dust mites in preparation for this momentous event. I pour it at room temperature - how else could you savour the aroma, the feeling, the true essence of the BL Lime? I pour it into a Westvleteren trappist chalice, stolen from the cafe across the street from the abbey, and the body is yellow with a greenish tint, with enough head to remind you that it’s beer. The aroma is all fake lime smells - no worse than a French Desperados, and no better than a Mountain Dew either. Plenty of sugar on the nose as well. The taste is as refreshing as drinking water with a twist of lime - where’s the beer? C’mon, I wanted some kind of beer! At least, some rice adjunct hint, or cardboard, or rotting garbage - nothing! It’s just like drinking lime water, with the added benefit of having alcohol involved. Should appeal to the ladies at the frat party that you’re trying to get wasted, anyways. But even as a beer, it’s completely unintrusive and totally boring. Not offensive, not awful, just boring. Shame on you, Bud! You could at least have made something that really, really sucked!
