1/5 rDev -44.1%
look: 1 | smell: 1 | taste: 1 | feel: 1 | overall: 1
Can you even call this beer? It tastes more like cheap soda with beer flavor injected into it, and it might as well be.
Cheap yellow color, generic corny nose and taste, zero hop. Terribly thin and watery mouthfeel.
Out of all the cheap commercial American lagers, this is my least favorite. I wouldn't drink this if you gave me one for free.

L: Pours straw yellow with a two-finger white head with decent retention.
S: Smells of corn, hay barn funk, faint amount of malts from the barley, no hop aroma.
T: Taste follows the nose, very grainy, nothing really stands out.
F: Light-bodied, high carbonation, thin & watery.
O: Nothing special here, you know what you're getting into when you buy some bud light. It is a crushable & affordable beer that is widely available.

Surely everyone on here has drank a bud light at sometime in their life. The only reason I did a review. I buy beer in kegs and Bud light has the shortest life before going sour, of any beer I have tried. Dark beers can go 6-9 months and still taste fresh. Bud light starts tasting sour after 3 months??

Look: Golden clear. White head. Head went away rather quickly.
Smell: Only a hint of malt. Nothing else. That says, no unpleasant smells either.
Taste: Light malt taste, ends with mild bitterness. No obvious sourness. More flavourful than water.
Feel: Light-body. Medium carbonation. Doesn't leave Anthony in your mouth after you swallow it. Watery.
Overall: It’s an OK beer. Easy to drink. No unpleasant aroma or smell. Good substitution for water.

Look, Bud light is for 20 year olds!
Don't listen to those guys giving it a 1. It's the #1 selling beer in America!
I honestly wish I had a dollar for every one of these I drank in my life.
I probably would be close to having $100,000.00! I mean it; [I literally just did some math and it's more like $35,000.00]but you get the picture.
It served it's purpose; and when I was drinking way more then I should have, most likely kept me out of trouble by allowing me to keep my wits about me after 20 or so beers.
Ice cold on on a hot summer day... Yep! Every time!

Overrated all I got to say, compare this to many of the various budget beers out there and it does not justify the price tag. Around where I live you can get a 24 pack for like 19-24 dollars. way over priced considering you can get some premium beers for cheaper. One saving grace of Bud Light and Budweiser is if you have to bring beer to a party not many people are going to turn there nose up to it just due to the name.

It’s OK, for a mass produced beer. Looks like a light beer, smells like a light beer, tastes like a light beer. With that said, ice cold on a hot day might increase the likability, in the end it’s just a light beer.

Pours a pretty piss yellow with a nice white head. Smells like rice and a wet saltine. Taste is essentially nothing save for the small amount of maltiness that's on par with lacroix flavoring. It's the most heavily carbonated light beer I've had, but I wouldn't say it detracts from the experience. Overall not the best but I killed 16 pints of this at my cousin's wedding so it's drinkable.

Poured from a can into a pint glass.
Appears light golden yellow with a white foamy head that dropped quickly to nothing, with no lacing.
Smells lightly malty, ricey.
Taste follows the nose with a dry finish.
Mouth feel is thin which is medium for the style.
Overall, free, at a party? Hot day? Good to drink.
Otherwise I would go with a different beer.

This is a horrible beer. Taste and smell are inseperable, somewhere between wet cardboard and Raid and the smell of newly-treated black leather jackets. Joyless. It tastes too bad to quench the thirst. It makes the back of my neck burn when I drink it. It is the worst-tasting major brand beer. A Bud Light night is a sober night for me.

Ok so granted it is not the best beer if you are looking for taste or something fancy. But IMO, out of all the beers out there, the popular, or the most manufactured, this is the top one. Because it has a way better taste than Miller light and Coors Light, I will also review those, but Coors light is more watery than most. And miller light is disgusting.
So Bud light, is the best if you want to get drunk in a way that you somewhat enjoy the taste, and it goes down smooth.

The only reason I give this beer any points at all is because for some reason after taking a break from it and enjoying some real beers, the sweetness that comes from the rice ingredient in bud light is refreshing... for about 2 beers and then it’s gone. I suggest this one if you throw a big party and want something everyone can drink on. It pretty much tastes like carbonated water when ice cold. The look is better than it’s been in years however the blue and white colors are getting tired. I like the idea of the 80s graphic logo but bring back the red, white and blue cans.

Mass produced American lager beers are so ‘80s and past their time. Thank goodness craft breweries have rescued us from this trash that we used to drink when we did not know any better. Bud Light truly is fizzy yellow pee water. There is no enjoyment drinking it and if it is not iced cold tastes and smells like vomit.

Very dry beer, as these rice lagers tend to be. Some sweet malt notes and grains up front on the palate, barely any hop bitterness. Overall, most of us know this beer, it’s highly drinkable, perfect for the hot summer weather.

Poured from a 16oz can:
Light gold in color, a bit of a white head but the head doesn’t last long. No lacing. Not too appealing.
Smell is weak, some rice, barley, a bit of yeast. Even the smell is a tad watery.
Taste is almost exactly like the smell. Pretty balanced between the rice, barley, yeast, etc.
Feel: credit where credit is due - this beer, as awful as it tastes to me, is actually decently refreshing. Finish is clean and dry, carbonation is high. Easy to drink and drink a lot of it without getting totally plastered.
Overall, pretty boring, but it does have good aspects. It’s cheap and available anywhere.

*Rating is relative to other light beers*
Appearance: Pours a light golden color with a large, crisp, white head. SRM of 7-8. (4.00)
Aroma: Rice, corn, and dry yeast. Some crumbed cracker and yeast. (3.75)
Flavor: Light flavors of rice, dry, corn, rice cracker. Dry yeast and duds. Finishes balanced and clean with hints of honey and corn. (3.75)
Feel: Medium-bodied for the style. Strong carbonation. Finishes smooth and balanced but leans slightly sweeter. (4.00)
Compared with Coors 3/18/20: Similar appearance. More malty aromas. More corn and grain malts. Less cracker and rice. Overall a smoother and less crispy finish.
Compared with Coors 7/16/20: Pours a similar color with a more lacy head. Less carbonation-looking. Agree with previous. More rice and less corn sweetness. More sourness.
Compared to Michelo Ultra 8/13/20: Pours a slightly darker color. Less oxidation as this is from a can. Slightly smoother, milker, and creamy. Less dry. Winner: Bud Light due to non-oxidation.
Overall: A very nice representation of the light beer style. It's well-carbonated and but smooth. Decent amount of corn and honey (than other light beers like Coors). Subtle corn and honey flavors. Better than I expected for the style. (Relative Final Rating: 3.62)

*Rating is relative to other light beers*
Appearance: Pours a light golden color with a large, crisp, white head. SRM of 7-8. (4.00)
Aroma: Rice, corn, and dry yeast. Some crumbed cracker and yeast. (3.75)
Flavor: Light flavors of rice, dry, corn, rice cracker. Dry yeast and duds. Finishes balanced and clean with hints of honey and corn. (3.75)
Feel: Medium-bodied for the style. Strong carbonation. Finishes smooth and balanced but leans slightly sweeter. (4.00)
Compared with Coors 3/18/20: Similar appearance. More malty aromas. More corn and grain malts. Less cracker and rice. Overall a smoother and less crispy finish.
Compared with Coors 7/16/20: Pours a similar color with a more lacy head. Less carbonation-looking. Agree with previous. More rice and less corn sweetness. More sourness.
Compared to Michelo Ultra 8/13/20: Pours a slightly darker color. Less oxidation as this is from a can. Slightly smoother, milker, and creamy. Less dry. Winner: Bud Light due to non-oxidation.
Overall: A very nice representation of the light beer style. It's well-carbonated and but smooth. Decent amount of corn and honey (than other light beers like Coors). Subtle corn and honey flavors. Better than I expected for the style. (Relative Final Rating: 3.62)
