Tallahassee, Fl. - Publix Supermarkets - 12 oz bottle. Very pale golden pour with a quickly fading white spritzy head. Brief aroma of limeade and lime flavored kool-ade - very artificial. Flavor is sweet and refreshing, but not very beer like. Lime flavor is somewhat natural tasting and not unappealing. Would be a good companion on the beach when you just want to drink and are not worried about a lot of of flavor to weight you down - just want to quench your thirst - don’t expect more than that. Mouthfeel is a tad harsh - leaves you a bit breathless, similar to low carb offerings.

12 oz. twist-off bottle, coded lot/freshness date on the back of the bottle, sampled in a pint glass.
L: Crystal clear pale straw golden with a fast rising white head that I can hear fizzle as it retreats into a soapy skim. Fizzling sound Bud Light Lime loudly emits reminds me of a can of soda poured too quickly. I can spy a few stray bubbles flowing from the bottom of the glass to the top.
S: The sweet aroma of lime soda with a chalky lime ’Sweet Tart’ candy in the background. No trace of anything that remotely resembles something called beer.
F&T: Spritz-like carbonation at first, but the carbonation quickly dissipates to a moderately active level, softly crisp feeling light body that is almost as easy as water to drink.
Sweet lime soda, but not too sugary, is the dominate taste, supported by a chalky candy flavor. As it warms, the lemony cornmeal Bud Light taste sneaks out, but in no way does it interfere with the taste of the soda pop lime. I have to say, A-B has done a good job of masking any beer flavor this might possess. And I believe I might actually prefer this to Miller Chill. I wonder if Coors makes an lime infused beer?
I don’t know, I guess this passable on a hot, humid summer evening, it is, in its own way, lightly refreshing, takes the edge off watching the Cubs lose to Cardinals tonight in the bottom of the ninth. Other than that, unless its free, I won’t be having another Bud Light Lime anytime soon.

Happy 4th of July - flavor includes a hint of lime and not much else.

Jul 3, 2008 This was a lot better then expected. Pours straw yellow with hardly any head. Better then regular Bud Light. And 100 times better then its competitor Miller Chill

Jul 3, 2008 Pours a still gold, like corona. Head is white, and releases an aroma of grains and lime. The lime flavor is synthetic in that it doesn’t have the citrusy freshness and sharpness of a real lime. Heavy doughy, bready malt on tongue. On a hot day this can be ok to drink, but it is very low quality
