Bud Light Lime

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

Serve in Flute

Bought the case for my wife who was looking for a refreshing beer over the summer months. The earlier reviews are spot on in saying that it’s just average. I don’t think the lime flavoring is an enhancement, or that limes belong in anything other than a Corona or another Mexican brew.

Bud Light Lime has a medium, white head and a clear, pale-golden appearance, with some streaming bubbles. The aroma is of lime juice and maybe some faint grains. The taste is of lime juice, tap water, and slight grains can be picked up. No hops. Mouthfeel is light and watery, and Bud Light Lime finishes crisp, clean, refreshing, and dry. Overall, this is an okay light beer, and I rate it average plus. RJT

Pairings: Beach

Urine colored with ok white head. Nose of turning limes. Slight skunk, cloying lime...clear that Corona is the target here. ...for giggles at the airport. First and last time.

Straight from chilled 12 oz bottle at home. Ice cold at time of serving. Aroma: Skunky, barnyard hay smell. Not too pleasing; had to turn nose away whilst drinking Appearance: Golden color with a nice, thick frothy head. Dosen’t look half bad for a macro. Taste: The artificial limey favor is overpowering, and the brew itself is not great. Skunky with a corny aftertaste. Very light. Not terrible but quite below average, as to be expected with a mass produced beer. Palate: Very disappointing composition made it difficult to down. Although the body was surprisingly frothy, the beer itself was quite carbonated. Very sticky texture. Somewhat sweet lime taste is followed by the skunky blast and slightly metallic finish. Bitter aftertaste. Notes: One of the better macros but still falls short of average. Limey and skunky are what I would use to describe this one. I didn’t exactly despise this beer but American macros are still far from the standard when it comes to a good brew. Corona is a better choice in my opinion. Still, nice to have on a hot day at the beach or with tortilla chips and salsa. This beer seems to be very popular, with everyone in their brother seems to drink it.

Golden yellow color. Very little fiz. The lime flavor in it wasn’t that good. In a way I’m glad had one tonight because it makes me appreciate the quality of beer produce by the smaller craft brewers.

Pours a cloudy off yellow color with 10 seconds of fizzy head. Smells of lime with some salt. A very light taste with only hints of lime, no real beer taste. Prefer the Miller Chill over this any day.

Bottle. Tastes like Bud Light with lime juice. Somehow better than Bud Light, I guess the lime actually gives it some flavor. Still has the nasty rotten/soured cereal grain taste, just covered up by the lime juice.
