UPDATED: JUL 13, 2008 # 1900 Can at Bockyhorsey’s Bocky Bash on 7-5-08. Aroma of grain. Yellow body with white head. Just the standard grain flavor you would find in swill. Bought mainly for around the house when my dad visits but someone hadn’t rated a n/a beer so had to bust it out.

Not nearly as good as other NA beers I’ve had. Very thin body, and slightly less carbonation than the competition. No real character to speak of, and not much more entertaining than water.

SpringsLicker’s Fish Fry. Sample from a can thanks to Suttree. Crystal clear yellow with a thin white fuzz. Aroma is water, some grain. Taste is water. Not that offensive. But taste is about like...water.

Pours an extremely light yellow color with a very small thin head, almost no lacing. Below average carbonation with a slight smell of sweet hops. Tastes like colored water not much taste or body at all. Water is the dominant flavor. Drink and piss. Again, water is the dominant flavor.

Pale golden color, head started out pretty big but disappeared rather quickly, very little lacing left around the glass as well, nose full of corn & stale malts, very light & watery body, bubbly mouthfeel with light notes of toasted barley & bread, bland finish, the Busch beers with alcohol are no good, and neither is their NA offering

UPDATED: MAR 31, 2009 So this is the supposed worst beer on RateBeer? I’ve had a lot worse, mostly brewpubs that put nothing less than an abortion of a beer on tap. See... the more ingridients you add to a beer, I believe the worse off it could possibly become. Therefore, if you don’t put a lot into a beer, like Busch NA, I don’t see how it can really taste so damn awful. The Lost Lake I had the other night was worse than this. Now, I’m not saying this is anything great, no way. The nose is still pretty putrid, full of straw, corn, and fuel (butane). Frothy, fizzy, pale, thin, oily, tastes a little bit like celery. Bad, but not the worst. That title belongs to Molson 0.5 and the Groggs beers (all of them).

Clear carbonated yellow with a darker tinge than I expected. White head. Skunky aroma with, yes, some dough. Extremely watery palate. Half doughy nothing/half vile taste. I found myself not wanting to swallow. Who drinks this?

Sampled at Bockyhorsey’s Bocky Bash on 7-5-08. Number 600! Thanks Bill, though I’m a little curious why you had this in the house... As for the rating: Anheuser Busch, using detailed and proven scientific methods, discovered everything good and desirable about beer. Then they invented a way to remove all of it. This is the result. Cheers!
