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.

A very smooth drinking Beer with no after taste and it is as strong as Beat Ice, can’t wait to see how well this slides in summer when it’s warm out.

smooth, crisp, and strong. I love this beer as it tastes a lot like Bud Light, but packs a punch with the higher alcohol

One of the better tasting buds. Goes down easy and has a smoothed taste. Aroma was good and smelled decent for bud. Appearance looked like bud light Taste was great and more refreash than a regular Bud. Overall this is a quality beer.

As a pils from the states this is what I expect. Smooth with little backbite and the alcohol level is higher than std. Bud lite. Nice addition to their beer line.

Bud Light Platinum has a thick white head and a clear, straw appearance with few streaming bubbles, but a decent amount of lacing. The aroma is a combination of alcohol, sweetness, husks, and grain, and the taste is richly sweet (cloying), grainy, of rice, sharp, and fairly bold, with a touch of hop bitterness at the back end of the sip. Mouthfeel is light to medium, and Bud Light Platinum finishes pretty crisp, clean, refreshing, and easy drinking. I think A-B/InBev may have struck gold with this one (or , should I say platinum). It’s a winner, and it’s head and shoulders above the dull and flaccid Bud Light. I think we’ll be hearing a lot about this one! RJT

Clean, crisp and drinkable; a beer nerd’s worst nightmare. Can be found everywhere.

Gold pour with a fizzy white head. Head lasted for about 3 seconds. Awesome. Sweet grainy alcohol water with a lot of fizz, minimal if any lasting flavor in this one. A bit of citrus hops and just a touch of grape drink floating around if I really look for it. Maybe a bit sweeter than the regular, but I didn’t notice much else side by side. Not sure how they pulled that off. Good beer, hope they make a chelada platinum version as well.

It smells stronger than bud light. It is a strong beer no matter what these so called consumers say. Its at a stronger level then coronas which is well known. It gets you pretty tipsy. And its a slow drink, unless you are trying to get drunk. No matter who you are a 6 pack will get you going.
