I poured the twelve ounce twisty into a pint glass. It is lightly colored golden and clear. White head rises fast and runs away faster.
Smells like 7-up. Maybe diet 7-up. Definitely an uncola. I am going to go with a slightly flat Sprite after consideration. the taste is like a slightly flat Sprite with only half the flavoring of Sprite. I only say slightly flat because soda generally burns me up with carbonation and this is about half of that, but it's well carbonated for a beer.
Besides appearance, there is no aspect of this beverage that I can review from a beer perspective. It does not smell or taste like beer. It is actually not unpleasant from strictly a cold drink standpoint. I would dig a gallon of this after running a 5k or cutting the grass or something.
Light bodied (really?) and easy to drink. Could give lime flavored seltzer a run for its money.

Served in an imperial nonic pint glass
This beer pours straw colored and clear. it is topped with an inch of white head that leaves spotty lacing.
Light lime and fruit aroma.
Light lime flavor. At least this version of ultra has some flavor.
Thin bodied with a dry mouthfeel
Michelob Ultra is one of the worst abominations ever labeled as beer. At least this has a little flavor.

Pours a clear barely golden yellow with a head that is like champagne and disappeared fast. Smell is lime,grains,some type of fruit(probably prickly pear) Taste is delivered clean and neat with a proportionate amount of the adjuncts which are discernible by the individual fruit. Again feels well put together,crisp,refreshing,well carbonated. This beer, being organic would not be possible without the huge buying power of InBev Overall for a light lager with adjuncts I will rate accordingly to the style. This newer version says LIME & PRICKLY PEAR CACTUS. It is also 100% organic-And the ABV is 4.0 instead of 4.2

Purchased as a six-pack of bottles from Publix for $8.99. Poured into a pils glass. Posting this review from some notes I wrote down a couple of days ago, but only now could post to BA.
L - Extremely pale yellow with no head and minimal lacing.
S - Smells of corn flakes and faint lime. Almost sweet.
T - Lime is pretty upfront, followed by an almost artificial prickly pear. Slight hint of dragonfruit and light hay.
F - Lightly carbonated and very light body. A step above La Croix. Refreshing.
O - I don't hate this beer, but I find it a bit boring - mostly due to the very light body, unable to retain a lot of flavor. If it wasn't a light beer, I feel like this would be a home run for the Michelob lineup. Glad to have finally tried it, though.

Amazing beer, but in a very specific way. Very refreshing, though perhaps not the highest quality beer on the market. You're not going to impress your boss, but if you're having a nice afternoon kick-back, or even a summertime party, this is a really good option.

Solid American “light lager” with added “fruit” i.e.the prickly pear. I enjoyed this and suggest anyone disregard any rating that suggests it’s not “real beer”.
