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."

I agree with cakanator. This is nothing special but doesn’t belong on the absolute bottom of the pile. Had this on a sunny day and it was quite refreshing. Poured a blonde colour with a thin white head. Aroma of yeast, caramel and barley. Similar flavours with very light hopping. Mildly bitter with high carbonation and a fair CO2 prickle. Quick, crisp finish.

from the 12oz american can! Nothing special, but I’ve had Bud when its been ice cold on a sweltering day when it was my only option, and it was crisp clean and actually nice for the situation. However its pretty basic, nothing stands out about it except that its very consistently made. Medium bodied, but not really deserving a bottom of the bottom rating.

Just a regular pilsener to me. Light yellow colour, little to no head. Smells like pils malts. Tastes like a pilsener. Nothing wrong with it. Not something great, but every score below 1.5 seems like nonsense to me.

Thin rice beer. King of macros in size, but definitely not taste. What else to say?

Bomber that just so happened to fall into my possession. So this beer is terrible. It’s a hair better than bud light, but not much. It smells bad, tastes bad, and the lingering aftertaste is awful. Am I gonna buy this beer on regular occasion? Hell no. But will I drink if its the only available? Yes. I wouldn’t put it on par with the malt liquors or Ice beers that are even worse, that I would never be desperate enough to drink, but it’s still bad. Don’t let it warm up because it might wanna come back up, because this is not a beer that sits well warm at all. King of Beers? More like king of profit....but that would belong to it’s light version wouldn’t it? Hmmmm.....

If you want to play beer pong in a classy way this is your beer. If this is the king of beers than...I’m not feeling clever tonight sorry.

Bottle. Clear and golden. Watery and indistinct. Some bread notes. Moderately refreshing. Low end beer.

King of piss not a beer. But if its hot day and you need something to drink than this one is not a worst solution , there are much worse beers. Basically no taste and a little hop aftertaste.
