COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Bud Light Platinum has reinvented the category of light beer. Within each cobalt blue bottle lies a bold formula that’s triple filtered with a smooth finish to create its stop shelf taste. Its the first of its kind, and the only beer worthy of the name Bud Light Platinum.

bhensonb (9004) - Woodland, California, USA - FEB 17, 2013
Bottle from a SaveMart. Pours light gold with a transient white head. Aroma is sort of dilute malt liquor - the tall boy kind. Med Minus body. Flavor is grainy, and fortunately has little, if any, fusil oils. However, it seems gummy and grainy. It’s underrated. Not!

hopscotch (8217) - Vero Beach, Florida, USA - JAN 10, 2013
Bottle... How can this beer be so sweet and pack an abv of 6% with only 4 grams of carbohydrates? The numbers don’t jive. Fortified? Artificial sweetener? Either way, this is not at all good.
