beastdog75,65,1320,well for my first review i d figure i would start off with the so called king of beers america s most popular brew not because it tastes great but because it is readilly available and the commercials are funny first off bud has the color of bright straw it leaves a thin fizzy head that lasts for a few seconds the smell isn t too bad it has a very faint malt smell and an even fainter hop smell all together it smells like a very generic beer the taste is ok bud isn t the most repulsive beer out there but it is very unspectacular it tastes like the smell as it has some malt and some hop flavor but very little just enough dryness to make it thirst quenching thin mouthfeel and very fizzy if you let the beer warm up a little bit one of the chemicals in it gives it an extremely faint taste of green apple the alcohol taste in this is very light and there is almost no aftertaste i would say most of this beer s qualities are due to the usage of rice making it crisp and non overpowering my recommendation since i m not an ab hater i would recommend this with pizza or hanging out with the guys just a normal beer when you don t want anything special,if you re a fan of beer you re probably not watching your calorie intake anyway so the only reason these types of beers exist is for people who really don t like the full taste of a real beer nevertheless i m reviewing bud lite review 2 for me if you re following my beer journey which is up there in terms of popularity next to coors light in nj anyway which is coors light country i don t automatically have a predetermined dislike for anheuser busch so i m going into this review giving it a fair shake first off this stuff is paler than normal bud a very pale straw color it forms a better head than bud but not by much i took a sniff and i don t know if i got a bad bunch but the smell was kind of like a musty grain smell not too good i took a taste and luckily it tasted better than the smell a very slight malt taste and absoultely no hop character no bitterness here folks very watery and not as carbonated as regular bud the aftertaste is just about non existant as is the alcohol taste whereas budweiser specifically lists that it is brewed with rice on it s label bud light says select grains meaning there s probably corn and rice in there not to mention a slew of other anheuser busch chemicals i do find it very drinkable as it would go great with greasy bbq food a non offensive beer and i am sure that there are worse beers than this out there,"{""appearance"": 0.0, ""aroma"": -1.0, ""palate"": 0.0, ""taste"": 0.0}"
