Any bud select 55 drinkers here?

[aztec12]

Just bought me a 6-pack,never had one of these so will see.

 

[Drew99GT]

With an alcohol content of 2.4%, I'd have to drink 2 cases to enjoy that stuff...

 

[aztec12]

Didnt know that,o well its only a 6-pack.
any flavor or just water down beer?

 

[Quattro Pete]

Yeah, I really struggle with anything below 5% alcohol content... I almost thought I liked Goose Island 312 (4.2%), but the more I drink it, the less I like it.

 

[CivicFan]

Life's too short to drink things like that.

 

[greenaccord02]

It tastes like seltzer water. Really not good IMO and I'm no beer snob. Mix yourself up a Gin and Tonic or a Jack and Diet, but steer clear of that mess.

 

[wavinwayne]

I'm sure there's someone out there that will drink this water, but I shall pass.

 

[mrsilv04]

I would expect it to be like "Natural Light"....

That stuff shouldn't even be made, what a waste.

 

[greenaccord02]

No, it's much worse than Natural Light. Much worse. When I said seltzer water, I really meant it.

 

[aztec12]

I had natural light but this beer really sucks,natural light is way better than this.

Wow... That must be bad.

I'm surprised A-B would put out a product which is that bad.

Actually, it would be more surprising to me if A-B actually put out something good for once...

If you want to stay with Anheuser-Bush, two decent beers are the Michelob Porter and Budweiser's American Ale. I have had the porter and it is good, my friend has had the American Ale and says it is decent.

I actually don't mind Natural Light when I'm trying to get drunk on a really hot day. It has to be ice cold, though.

...and you'd have to have at LEAST an entire 12 pack of it.

 

[greenaccord02]

Yeah, that's what I'm talking about. I was thinking more like a thirty pack.

+1 for both of these. Also, i'd like to add Michelob Pale Ale, Dunkelweizen, Amber Bock and a couple of the seasonals to the list.

There is a bar about 15-20 minutes away from me that always has bottle of the Michelob Pale Ale for $1.50!!

One reviewer noted "Overall, almost no body, definitely drinkable, but so is water?"

That pretty much sums up my experience with nearly ALL of A/B products.

Michelob Ultra Amber is a notable exception as it tastes like a decent very light beer should.


And I must say, I didn't know that ANY beer would taste worse than Natural Light. Knowing that Bud 55 does, I will not bother trying it.
