Bud Light Lime

Bud Light Lime
Anheuser-Busch, Inc.
Lite American Lager
4.2% ABV
OG?
IBUs?
Clear 22 oz bomber with no freshness date poured into a funny looking plastic glass.

Appearance 3/5
Light yellow colored with a white creamy head that receded into a thin, but moderately persistent one. No lacing whatsoever, but it could be the glass. Very clear.

Aroma 3/5
Smells of adjuncts (can't say which) like all its cousins, and of lime extract: not citrus like the real thing, however. No hops.

Taste 3/5
Tastes like carbonated water spiked with lime extract. Some sweetness in the middle but generally bland. Less disgusting than other "lite" beers because lime doesn't let the yucky taste stay on the palate. Finish is medium dry, but nowhere as crisp and bitter like a real pilsner. There are no hops whatsoever.

Mouthfeel 3/5
Thin and watery.

Drinkability 4/5
I didn't find this one disgusting, even though I let it warm up a bit. And I drank the 22 oz bottle easily.
