Style: Pale Lager
St. Louis, Missouri USA

Serve in Dimpled mug, English pint, Lager glass, Shaker

Clear yellow with white transient head. Grass and metal. Light grainy flavor. Crisp finish if consumed quickly out of a fridge. Gets a higher overall impression rating because I bought this intentionally. I’m getting into shape and and minimizing my carbohydrates and calories, for now. If I wanted or expected a flavorful, full bodied beer, I wouldn’t waste my money on this. But because it suits my purposes, it gets a ratings boost.

Possibly the most hated beer on Earth amongst beer snobs, may fourth or fifth behind luminaries like Bud Light, Corona Extra, Coors Light, and Keystone. I enjoy Mich Ultra because I can drink a lot of them and because women like it. Nothing wrong with knocking down 3 or 4 Mich Ultras at Ruby Tuesdays or TGIFs and getting a nice light buzz. As some others may have mentioned it’s absolutely essential to drink this stuff as close to freezing as possible. Light in color, light in taste, light in character, light in everything. Not as bad as people like to say it is.

UPDATED: OCT 18, 2010 Is Michelob "the banquet beer"? I think so, maybe not. Either way, it’s meant to be a little more sophisticated than a Budweiser. It’s not.

OK, I’ll admit it, this big hophead lover tried some of his girlfriend V’s Michelob Ultra after golf. I also have to admit, it is a refreshing beer, not one that I would drink all the time or buy a case of it, but it is a quality product. Had a clean crisp fresh taste to it, but for the calories and low carbs, does taste watered down. Not bad for a light beer on a hot day or after golf.

There is nothing great about this beer. But you have to hand it to Am.Busch. This beer has a lot of taste for its carbs. For a light beer, a light beer, this may be one of the very best. Within its niche this is a good choice.

UPDATED: DEC 5, 2010 draft at PJW. This beer had no offensiveness in the aroma or taste at all. Very smooth, and easy to drink, so with that being said this would make an excellent beer if you plan on drinking ass-loads of it.

I decent beer to fall back on if you need an excuse to feel thin. Not much body at all, but the after taste surprised me with a little hint of malt. I would drink this one super cold because it will give you the effect that it is thick.

If your diet or health demands it, this stuff beats the NA brands, except possibly Buckler
