0.6 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 1/5 TASTE 1/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 1/20 IMtheOptimator (1161) - Bethel, USA - OCT 16, 2004
Well, I guess no RateBeer account would be complete without the mandatory ratings of "the king of beers" and "the silver bullet". I used to like this stuff as a kid. But kids are stupid. It’s not their fault; it’s just lack of experience. Very little aroma. Breaking it down would be doing it more justice than it deserves. The taste is... well... first I had to find it, which took a while. What I eventually found was mostly skunk. Palate was thin and watery. Sure, one could probably drink large quantities of this stuff in a sitting. But then again, water’s pretty easy to chug too. And it doesn’t leave a bad aftertaste in the mouth. I urge all of you out there who rated this beer > 4.0, claiming "I’ve tried them all and this is the best!"... you HAVEN’T tried them all. You’ve probably had maybe five different macrobrews in your life. Get out there. Try something with flavor. Spend more than a dollar, even if it begins to cut into your wifebeater fund.

The silver bullet biggest draw for me is that the mountains turn blue when it’s at optimum drinking temperature. Other than that, it’s pretty unremarkable.

Smooth but fairly tasteless.... Smell is offputting, but ok otherwise.... Could prob drink forever

Average light beer, but better than most in it’s class. Still not very good, but a notch ahead of Bud & Miller.

Good cheap go-to beer. Nothing special. Just really cheap and decent when cold. Great for camping or after mountain biking.

On tap at a ballgame. Slightly better than I expected, (actually had a yeasty flavor and slight texture), but still down at the bottom compared to craft offerings.

Had at an all-day music festival on the beach - plastic bottle. Pale color, nothing to note on smell, flavor minimal and unimpressive.

Pours piss yellow with a finger of bright white head. Aroma of corn and grain. Taste is corn and grain. Light bodied with a thin texture. Fizzy carbonation and no finish. Overall, it’s crap. Kinda like most other light beers.
1.9 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20 EchoShine (13) - Athens, GREECE - MAY 15, 2012
The silver bullet for what it is its a good drink in the florida sun if you need something quick. Distinct taste over others in its class... sort of that metal bullet taste. Better than Bud so extra points for that.

You know what it is, the silver bullet! Seriously, serve it as cold as possible without freezing, because it will numb your taste buds and you won’t have to taste this god-forsaken swill. Not going to waste any more words on it.

Had this at Convento Rico on tranny night and there isn’t a better pairing I could think of for this ’beer.’ Hard looking make-up and brawny trannies while I chugged this down in big sips to get the whole ordeal over with - I’m not sure what was worse, the beer or the show, haha. Another milestone!
