COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Busch NA is a fully-fermented, non-alcohol version of Busch beer that offers a smooth, full-bodied, malty flavor. All of Anheuser-Busch’s non-alcohol products are brewed, fermented and aged to full maturity. The alcohol is then removed through the use of low-temperature, low-pressure distillation. This extremely gentle process allows the alcohol to be removed without heating or cooking the beer, which retains the full, rich and delicate flavor and balance of our non-alcohol brews.

I hate regular Busch beer with a passion. More than any other macro. I don’t know why I would subject myself to its foul taste without even getting a buzz. I must be an idiot.

So for the last of my self-immolation where beer is concerned, I’m going to the bottom of the ladder. This is the worst it can get and I know it before I get into it.... I was wrong. God is this stuff horrible, rancid corn aroma with a dark urine colored body. Taste is dull and full of harsh grains that seem to have little claws on them as they go down. Ending is about the only thing here that isn’t down right horrible, instead it’s mildly disgusting.

Next time I get it in my head to hit the swill market again, someone just remind me of this shit.

Volgon’s 2000th celebratory beer and he was kind enough to share with me and DirtyMike. Actually I don’t blame him for wanting to share since if it were me, I’d have dumped it down the drain. Nice head over a slightly coppery piss-yellow color (a little darker than I had expected. Smells like flat, damaged rice. Tastes like a fizzy nothingness.

I had a sip of this at a bar just so I could rate it. You gotta love it when the white trash beers have non alcoholic brews. Its about like a yeast infected whore with a breath mint.

I do not think this beer is the worst NA around, although it appears to be rated as such. I poured it from the can into a pint glass, although I generally prefer NA beers from the can. It poured out the usual NA clear gold color with small rising bubbles and a small, fizzy white head. Its aroma was that of corny and grainy adjunct hops and a touch of malt. The taste was mostly sour, with a slight bitter finish, and a subtle touch of sweet. It was a slightly wet beer, with a relatively full mouthfeel for a NA, and had decent bubbly carbonation. I’m not sure whether it’s a good or bad feature, but it did taste fairly similar to regular Busch beer.

Pours a golden yellow color with aroma of corn and some hops. Flavor is more or less carbonated water with some hops present. Worst of the top three N/As in my opinion.

This tastes like...a light non-alcoholic brew. It is not...bad per se, yet it very professionally maneuvers away from being ’good’. It doesn’t have much ’taste’, or a ’palate’ to describe, but it is somehow less offensive than the regular, foul Busch. So, if I were going for something boring and dull and without alcohol, well, I think on second thought I’d just choose tea or something...
