3.68/5  rDev +57.9%
look: 3.5 | smell: 2.5 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | overall: 4

Appearance: Decent foam, a bit cloudier than Bud Light or Miller and Coors alternatives.

Smell: Although I know it sounds cliché, Budweiser just smells like beer. I know they use rice and that definitely comes through here. Nothing much else to say.

Taste/Mouthfeel: Actually, compared especially to Bud Light, Budweiser tastes pretty good in my opinion. Maybe I've been lucky not to get an expired one or something. Very crisp, definitely refreshing, and not gross or anything. A bit watery, but not too much. Also can taste the rice, which probably gives it the smoothness.

Drinkability: Due to its relatively high alcohol content (compared to alternatives in the BMC families), Budweiser gives you a noticable buzz earlier than other beers.

Overall: I know I could take flack for this review, but I'm gonna say it: Budweiser is a good beer. I've tasted bad beer...Keystone...Natty...Bud Light for crying out loud! Budweiser does not fit that category in my opinion and as such is my favorite American macro.

1.49/5  rDev -36.1%
look: 2.75 | smell: 1.25 | taste: 1 | feel: 3 | overall: 1.75

A: The appearance is typical. A pale straw color with a pop pop fizzy coca-cola head that deteriorates pretty fast.

S: Faint malts, cooked vegetable smell, no hop spiciness/grassy smell. Pretty offensive.

T: Just plain distasteful, all I can get is faint barley malts, some of that beechwood taste... I guess. A LOT of carbonation, and so as the cooked vegetable corn adjunct, pretty nasty.

M: Pretty watery but it's heaviness is from the corn adjuncts I believe. Light mouthfeel as this beer is easy to slam down on a hot day, just make sure it's ice cold. Nonetheless, it has all the traits of Bud light, just more corny/malty taste.

O: Just a typical American adjunct lager that is meant for people to slam on a hot day after maybe some lawn work or whatever. But if you're expecting complexity and enjoyment, turn somewhere else.
