COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Has a smooth, refreshing taste. Busch is brewed with a blend of premium American-grown and imported hops and a combination of malt and corn to provide a pleasant balanced flavor. Since being introduced regionally in 1955, the Busch beer brand family has grown to become one of the top-selling value beer brand families. Busch also holds a noted place in Anheuser-Busch history as the first new brand after the repeal of Prohibition.

Cheap, watery, generic. Although, I do enjoy one or ten every now and again.

I used to have an extreme hatred for every member of the AB family, but the past year or so I’ve drank so much free Busch and Busch light (or bobby as my friends call it) that I’ve grown a tiny bit fond of it. Kind of sad, really.

Can. High fluffy but lasting white head. Clear light yellow body. Malt corn aroma. Very thin and sweet flavor with just a bit of hops bitterness. Watery, boring. High carbonation, short aftertaste.

Good beer for a cheap drinking binge. Flat, not much taste, with a hint of wood.

12 oz can poured into a shaker. Clear straw colored with a small off white head and active carbonation. Aroma of corn as well as some sulphur. Taste is very light with corn and some slight sulfur. Watery, nasty stuff.

Pours from the 12 oz. can the standard pale straw yellow with a foamy white head that settles into a modest collar. The standard macro fizziness shows, a seemingly endless supply of tiny bubbles. Aroma is almost non-existent. 1st sip tastes like corn chips. Seriously, it tastes like a glass of liqified Fritos!! After letting the beer warm up for a few minutes, the Fritos taste diminshes and is replaced by a watery, slightly metallic bitterness chased by a corny, grainy aftertaste. Mouthfeel is super-light...drink it & it’s gone. Overall, it’s your basic standard Macro Lager. It was offered to me by a friend, I accepted it to be social, & i’m drinking it only to pad my number of reviews. This is strictly for the die-hard macro lover.

Woo hoo! Bought me a bottle of Busch! Pour is a light gold, little head. Aromas are slightly grassy... but that’s even a stretch. Flavor is straight macro malt with no complexity of any sort. Not even an off-putting metal taste. Maybe I should have bought it in a can so I could have more to say. Aftertaste is watery... (which is probably better than any other alternative.) The only reason this is getting any points is that there are no horrid elements... it may be completely pointless, but it is not evil. It has no swirling side notes of metal, rot or butt sweat...and that is a good thing.

Wow this one came in a camouflage can with this written on the can "Cold as a Mountain Stream Smooth as its Name." This is pretty much the worst of the macros I have tried. Hardly any smell other than metallic and corn. Piss clear and just a watery corn flavor. Not good at all.
