St. Louis, Missouri USA

Piss-poor pale lager. Light yellow gold. White head. Corny. Cheap tasting. Virtually no flavor. No redeeming qualities.

I don’t think I’ve tried this since I was a teenager. It caused me to not like beer for years. Busch Beer is nearly colorless. It starts with a fragile white head and a lot of effervescence, but it all disappears in seconds. Yes, I poured it in a glass. There is barely any aroma; perhaps corn and butane. In the mouth, it feels like day-old Calistoga with some tannins added. The flavor is very faint. What is there is industrial grade cereal and... a farm full of chemicals. I know, I know: no additives. But, still... the Horror... the Horror...

UPDATED: MAR 9, 2008 Started drinking for a change from my usually 30 of PBR. Not to bad. Much better than Budweiser, which I will not touch. Easy drinking. Not a bad flavor. Good on hot days. Not much alcohol content from what I can tell.

UPDATED: SEP 2, 2007 this one is rated on that "generic beer" scale. i actually prefer this over almost anything miller. it might be because i used to drink the hell out of it because it was $18 for 30. perfect party case. but as soon as your over 21, it loses a lot of appeal.

I have been craving a cheap beer lately, for lawn mower season, so I grabbed some of this. Drank it out of the can, like Augie Busch intended it to be drank. Lets face it, the mountain scenery looks far finer than this beer., and I’ll give them a point for that. Aroma is strong of corn, palate is the same, not bad, not great, not good, it’ll do after I mow the lawn.

24 oz. can custom made for the sorry state of Texas. Way to sell it. Body is a very clear very pale yellow with a thick foamy head. Nose is going to be strong-I can smell it from 18 inches away. It smells like every dive bar I have ever been in-reeks of stale hops, corn, and desperation; also has notes of old strawberries, cardboard, and soap. Taste-when one describes “Frat Party” it is easy to tell you how the party looked, smelled, felt, and sounded. But how does one describe the taste of a frat party? Surly this has bothered scholars for many millennia. Well, call Stockholm and tell them to send my medal. Frat party tastes like Busch Beer (don’t steal that you twats-I have already trademarked it). Slightly sweet, sharp metal corners, cottony, fruity yeast character, low bitterness, medium CO2, adjuncts. Not as nasty as some other beers that I have imbibed, but not something I would make a part of my normal repertoire. I have 20 ounces left of this to drink and I believe I will go finish it n my front porch while I wait for that Nobel. Yeah I gave it a 4 for appearance. The head lasted and it had some lacing. So sue me.

Rated 8/19/06: Ah yes Bud’s younger red headed brother, I used to drink this like it was going out of style in school. Today I was able to revisit this one during a golf outing, Free Swill! sure I’ll sample em all. Light and bitter with lots of adjuncts mixed in. It isn’t horrible to drink but It’s not much either.

12 oz ban- Oh the memories from college.... crap in a can. Its the only beer that I ever threw up the next day after waking up that came up chunk for some reason. Thought I’d share that. Besides that its your standard yellowish beer that smells pretty rancid.
