Bud Light

Brewed by Anheuser-Busch InBev
Style: Pale Lager
St. Louis, Missouri USA

Serve in Dimpled mug, English pint, Lager glass, Shaker

Pours clear, light yellow, with a tiny white head. It smells slightly sweet and has a slight green apple flavor to it. It’s not good...

UPDATED: JAN 14, 2012 Ultra light lager. Little aroma of bread. More taste of carbonation than anything. Very watery.

I think I’m a little more charitable than most here. It’s certainly not a great beer (or even a good one), but it’s not awful either. Bud Light is mediocre but dependable--always the same and always easy to drink. I’ve certainly had worse.

Bomber from a courteous co-worker. I chose this to be my first beer review because this is the beer we all grew up on in high school/college. It’s the beer that for many was the first they ever tried and for some, the only beer they drink. I pity those people in a way because obviously, they are lying to themselves if they say that they drink this for the taste, No, you drink this to catch a buzz. This might be a beer you drink if you are tailgating, at the beach/lake, or at a house party. But if I am going to have a casual beer at my home, or one to help complement a meal, I certainly will resort somewhere else. I’m now going to go rinse my palate out with a Stone Imperial Russian Stout. CHEERS

Bottle a pint glass - pours light light yellow with little to no white head. Aroma is malt. Taste is negligible. Aftertaste is filmy. Quite refreshing. I can’t believe this beer is so popular. Perfect for breakfast!

UPDATED: AUG 21, 2011 Not the worst beer I’ve ever had. Pours like anything you’d find in a dorm; looks and tastes about the same. In all reality, I prefer Bud Light to most bocks from Germany, so I guess that’s something. Goes down like water b/c that’s basically what it is, but it’s not particularly offensive in any way. Drinking this at a party is like eating the bread they give you for free at restaurants: nothing you’d ever pay for, but why complain if it’s free?

I’m not going to get on the band wagon of smashing this beer, I think there is a time and place for it. Its light, and it tastes the same WHERE EVER you go. Which is impressive.

The appearance is of overhydrated piss with a fizzy white head, exactly the beer that Greg Koch laughs at. The aroma is of slight grainy malts and corn, not really much going on, the taste follows the nose, really not much there. The palate is basically what it’s supposed to be and for that it’s not too bad. Overall this is a textbook bland light lager, nothing good or exciting, just something to pound down without becoming obese.
