COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Brewed and sold since 1876, "The King of Beers" is the largest-selling beer in the world. Budweiser has been the world’s best-selling beer since 1957, and is distributed in more than 70 countries. Budweiser leads the U.S. Premium beer category, outselling all other domestic premium beers combined. In fact, one in almost every five beers sold in the United States today is a Budweiser.
"We know of no brand produced by any other brewer which costs so much to brew and age. Our exclusive Beechwood Aging produces a taste, a smoothness and a drinkability you will find in no other beer at any price."
"Brewed with 100% natural ingredients. We use only the finest hops, barley malt, rice, yeast and water. We craft and age Budweiser using time-honoured brewing methods."

Pours light yellow low frizzy head. Aromas of nothing and maybe some corn? Tastes nothing. Actually thought it might taste something. Ohh there might be hints of corn and carbonation. Was a while since I tasted this beer and it was before I started rating beers. I don’t know what this is but it certainly is not a beer.

12oz can poured into a shaker. Pours a clear pale yellow with some bright white fizzy head. Aroma of metal, corn and cooked rice. Taste is lightly bitter and light sweet. Rice water, corn, skunk and some wet cereal. Light bodied with a thin texture. Fizzy carbonation and not much of a finish. Overall, I’ve had worse. It’s beer for the unwashed masses.

341ml bottle pours a pale golden color with a small white head and no lacing. Aroma is cheap grains and hops. Taste is also cheap grains and hops. Just an average macro lager and not recommended.

UPDATED: FEB 8, 2012 12 oz bottle. Tried it at friend’s Super Bowl party. Pours pale straw with a white head. Slight aroma is of rotten eggs. Soda like body. There is not much taste here, but definitely it is not water. It went down the sink drain nicely.

Bottle or can; similarly very limited experience. Lots of carbonation, faint hop aroma. Very faint hop flavor. Slightly bitter finish. Not a beer to savor or to taste, per se. Would not buy with my own $.

Drank this from a can as it was offered to me free on a boat tour. Smells like grains, and something funky. Taste like water, grain, and steel. Luckily this was served to me ice cold, and I was distracted by a nice view while I drank this. Although this was being offer free to me, I did not ask for a second one. Almost any lager is better than this one. My advise is choose something else.
