Bud Light Lime

Brewed by Anheuser-Busch InBev
Style: Fruit Beer
St. Louis, Missouri USA

Serve in Flute

Pours a pale straw/yellow color. Aroma of synthetic lime. Like drinking lime flavored water. No discernible taste other than Lime flavoring. Although, it does has a slight grain aftertaste. Not good.

UPDATED: OCT 27, 2009 flat artificial lime flavor... was on sale and i was hungover. wont buy ever again. miller chill is better than this. and thats not saying much

I thought I was going to hate this beer but was pleasantly surprised. A lot of lime flavor that is pretty refreshing. A decent summer beer and not as artificial flavored as Miller Chill.

Not good, but I’ll admit, pretty fucking great by a pool in Vegas on a 105 degree day.

I figure I should follow my review for Black Tuesday with one for this beer. I expected this to be on the same level as BT after hearing such great things about it, but unfortunately I ended up being a bit let down. I tried this at the GABF. A guy asked me what I thought of it as I was making a disgusted face. I said I really wasn’t a big fan and didn’t know how this could even be called beer. Then I saw his nametag saying he was an Anheuser-Busch employee. He said that he honestly didn’t like it much either. Oh well, at least he was honest and I didn’t need to snap back at him with my usual Joe Wilson-inspired, "YOU LIE!!!" Pale yellow color with a fizzy white head, just like Bud Light. Aroma: oh, the humanity. Smells like nasty imitation lime juice and not much else. Taste is nasty artificial lime juice and Bud Light. Someone told me that this really isn’t that bad if you don’t consider it beer. I disagree - it’s absolutely disgusting no matter what you consider it, even if you consider it urine or sewage. Well, I guess it’s probably average for sewage, but I’ve certainly tried better urine. Palate is lght with very high carbonation like a spritzer. Unpleasantly high carbonation. Really nothing good you can say about it in this category. Taking a second sip was one of the most difficult things I have ever done, but I actually ended up forcing myself to take 3 or 4 before giving the rest to my girlfriend, who somehow only thought it was bad, rather than mind-blowingly awful. Overall, this is an impressive offering from A-B, and here’s why: they keep pushing the absolute boundary of how bad you can make a beer and use their incredible marketing power to make it outsell the entire craft brewing industry. They could probably make Natty Light Tapeworm Infested Pig Feces and have it break 1% overall beer market share. Whoever the ad wizards who came up with this one are, they truly are "real men of genius."

330 ml bottle from LCBO. Pours a clear, pale yellow with thin white head. Nose is like weak lime juice that at least does a decent job of masking the adjunct smell you’d normally get. Flavour starts very bland, then the artificial lime taste kicks in and dominates. Very light bodied. Virtually no discernible beer characteristics, but as a beverage its probably less offensive than some macro swill. That’s something, right???

Bottle. Pours a clear yellow color with a white fizzy head. nose is light lime juice and some cardboard. Palate is thin and watery. Flavor is bud light with a squirt of imitation lime juice. carbonated and fizzy.

UPDATED: OCT 5, 2009 Lime Kool-aid probably has more taste then this stuff. HHad this once will try my best never to have it again. Amazing, but this is even worse then regular Bud. There are now three truism’s about real men. 1) Real men don’t eat quiche. 2) Real men don’t drink lattes. 3)Real men don’t drink lime beer.
