Same garbage from Budweiser, different label, don’t waste your time and money, just pee into a cup of seltzer, it’s cheaper.

Poured a really clear weak yellow color with a boring whte head. Aroma was pretty bland just lots of corn and some grassy. Flavor was much the same, reminded me of regular budweiser but cleaner and without the saltiness.

I guess "Select" means this is top tier stuff, but it’s not imo, any different from the other AB offerings. Skip it.

I just don’t get it. Anybody who actually spends their money on this has lost their ability to taste.

bottled@hill tavern. Normal poor lager. Weak malt aroma, Clear pale yellow, flavor is refreshing nothing else.

If I had to drink an AB product this would be it, this is the smoothest and cleanest of the big three in their lineup. Just slightly smoother and maltier than Bud and Bud light.

Who is Bud kidding, we all know that this is just Bud Light in a jazzed up bottle.

The first time I had this, it was very flavorful and bitter in an odd way. The second time I had it, it was exceedingly boring/watery. Turns out it was skunked the first time. Budweiser should deliberately skunk more of their beers.

This was surprisingly better than I thought it would be. It had almost a wine type aroma to it, I’m not sure why. The taste was better than bud and bud light. Nothing great, but I expected that I’d be giving it a 1.
