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.

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.

$1 draft at McFadden’s NYC, with an all star cast including Gurney, Dawid, Slippers and the Governator. Very very light colour. Utterly tasteless, or is it? Is that a hint of rice? Maybe, maybe not. Amazingly I’ve had worse as this was so bland as to be elatively inoffensive.

Very thin and mild, bordering on watery. Fairly clean with light hops. It was very cheap while I was travelling through California though.

24 fl oz tall can into a pint glass. Served as cold as I could get it without freezing it. Aroma: Sweet malts/cereals. Not horrible, honestly. Not pleasing though. Appearance: Completely transparent super pale yellow. More clear than yellow it is so pale. Absolutely no head, even with an aggressive pour. Taste: Ever so slight hint of beer flavor. Palate: You can definitely feel some strange, fizzy, watery substance in your mouth. Overall: Man I wanted to give Bud Light a fair shake. This guy has absolutely no flavor though. I mean, if that’s what they were aiming for--a completely flavor-neutral beer--then AB knocked this one out of the park. Not horrible tasting, but not tasting-tasting. Extra overall points for not being foul.

I loved this beer in high school and the beginning of college. It’s nice on a hot day on the golf course when you don’t have any other choice. Makes me pee a lot.

Bud Light is a cheap beer and very easy to obtain. However, its watered-down taste, quasi-urine finish and poor appearance put it low on my list.

I like this beer for prolonged drinking. Color: light yellow, pale. Aroma: hay, dough Taste: Bland, Medium sweetness, a little salty Aftertaste: short, like water. Easy, drinking beer.

This beer is proof that there is no God. Carbonated corn syrup. No taste. No palate and it won’t even get you drunk. A pitcher of Bud Light was 2nd prize at bar trivia and every time we’d make second we wouldn’t even drink it. We’re not snobs but this....this "brew" is stands in an elite class of insult to good taste. It is the archetype of dumbing down and cheapening quality of products for the sniveling masses of proles. You know what though? I kind of like the cheap corn aroma even though it’s an indicator of mediocrity.
