My first and last ever Bud Light purchase, for review purposes only. There isn’t much in the flavor department, maybe a hair more “flavor” than Busch Light, and certainly more than Michelob Ultra. This is a water beer through and through, at one point extremely popular with the Baby Boomer generation, these days not so much. If you are going to waste your time, money, and calories with any light beer, stick with Miller Lite.

Finally decided to try this

There is faint cereal off smell, but noticeably less than some other mainstream beers

Taste kind of like malt forward sweet cereal/corn bread and some toffee, barely any traces of hop profile, and to top it all off, it tastes like it been diluted with soda water

Thin bodied, soda-like, fizzly

Overall it's tastes like a boring beer mixed with carbonated water, goes down easy, really don't know how to feel about it...

Poured from a 12 ounce can into a Shaker pint glass, best by date "03JUN24".

APPEARANCE: pours a clear, light golden color with one-finger white head that quickly dissipated until there was almost nothing, a small partial ring of small bubbles remained around the rim of glass, it reminded me of a soda pop, there is no lacing on the glass, medium carbonation.

SMELL: it smells faintly like sweet corn and bread.

TASTE: the taste follows the nose, initially sweet corn then bread, it's very bland and the flavors are understated.

PALATE: this beer is thin and watery with a very light body and medium carbonation.

OVERALL: This is the worst beer I have ever tasted, it tastes like nothing, it's does not have an unpleasant or off-putting taste, it's just really bland and boring, I don't understand why anyone would buy or drink this beer when there are so many better choices, the only positive things I can say is it's relatively low in calories and alcohol.

Look is light straw yellow. Smell is of light adjunct malts and hops. Taste is inoffensive and smooth. Feel is light bodied. Overall, a decent light lager for when you want to take a break from craft beer.

should be classified as a seltzer. has no aftertaste whatsoever and no flavor which makes it very unenjoyable for me. others may appreciate that.

The only highlight for bud light is the pour from my perspective.

Don't know why this is so poorly rated. Easy to drink without much taste.

Carbonated yellow water with hop extract and rubbing alcohol aroma. How can they sell this swill?

Bud Light is what turned me off from beer for years. Grew up thinking, "If that is what beer is, I don't want it."
