COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Introduced nationally in 1982, Bud Light is brewed with a malt and hops ratio different from Budweiser for a distinctively crisp taste with fewer calories.

Pours from the 12 oz can a pale golden color with a foamy one finger white head. It’s about as fizzy as one would expect. Aroma--I mowed my lawn late yesterday, too late to rake up the clippings because it got too dark. It rained overnight. The smell of those soaked grass clippings...that’s the aroma of Bud Light. Taste is of club soda with a few ounces of beer mixed in. A "beer spritzer" if you want to call it that. Mouthfeel is on par with the aforementioned club soda. I do give it high marks for drinkability. It has that, but not much else. Anheuser-Busch was wise to use the "drinkability" aspect of this beer as its sales pitch, because that’s all it has going for it. I was offered the remainder of a 30-pack of this stuff (about 14 cans) at the end of an after-work tailgate party, and I accepted it purely to be polite. This beer was absolutely free and I still feel that I overpaid for it! I’ll never cough up a dime for this, and the only way I plan on drinking this again is if my only alternative is dying of thirst!!!

This was my go-to power hour beer back in college, and it did the trick. Still better than the other big brewers because you can barely taste it, which is better than tasting like dirt.

Filth. Extremely light golden color. Aroma is faint skunk. Taste is offensive.

Consumed in a 12 oz bottle. Color is nearly clear as water. No aroma, no head, mouthfeel is water. This is the worst of the worst.

DiabolikDUB (144) - Portland, Oregon, USA - JUN 5, 2009
Poured from Bottle into Pint glass. Pours a pale crystal clear yellow with a one-inch bubbly head that dissolves quickly and leaves no hint there ever was one. Aroma is faint sweet caramel, no hops to speak of and a little bit of yeast? Flavor has a little more of that caramel flavor although light and has a touch of earthy hops. Very light-bodied beer which I suppose makes for easy and quick drinking. While its not good its also not completely terrible. Pretty sure I’d rather drink this from the bottle rather than a glass.

CoreyDW (18) - Arizona, USA - MAY 31, 2009
UPDATED: JUN 25, 2009 Had it in a bottle. Boring flavor. Poor aroma. Like carbonated water. Somewhat refreshing but not a good beer to sit around and relax with.

Went to a party, and this crap was all they had. No aroma or taste. I heard it’s distilled urine...true story. Quenching in the same way cold water is. Blech.

Tin. It was all Burt had. Poured pale urine gold with no head. No aroma. No flavour, no finish. It was like water, but not as refreshing.
