Brewed using the finest barley malt, select grains, all-imported hops and a pure-cultured yeast strain. The special choice of grains combined with the extended mashing process produces a smooth, refreshing beer with fewer carbohydrates.

my dad bought this beer because "[i] need to watch my weight" and he bought a 6 pack and gave 5 to me.

i had it out of a bottle and didnt bother pouring it..i have no idea what it looks like but im guessing clear, because this abortion of a beer tastes like water, feels like water and smells like water. its a crap beer. i was at an airport bar and noticed the person next to me was drinking michelob ultra, which is fine, they like what they like and i cant do anything about it...but when they have sam adams and guinness on tap, why the hell would you drink michelob ultra? then i realized that this "beer", along with just about every other AB product is made for people who dont drink beer.

if youre at a party and they have michelob ultra, do yourself a favor and drink water.

this beer is the absolute worse beer i have ever had. stay the hell away from this atrocity.

I have no strong opinions on McUltras. I'd drink it.

This beer might be the best joke sold by the yellow bellies in St Louis. Typical, typical, typical of every ab inbev beer. No lacing, obnoxiously sweet smell from their yeast. Sweet taste to follow through. Beer for self conscious, vanity driven, soulless ghouls... Or folks who pretend to be speed trialing through residential neighborhoods with a full cyclist uniform on.

From a bottle. Pale golden color. Sweet corn aroma. Light body with strong carbonation. Sweet corn flavor with a slight floral bitterness. Not terrible, but nothing special either. Does not warm up well.

My dad drank Michelob in the sixties. He called it a premium beer. I turned 21 in 1976, but first drank Michelob in 1974 as the drinking age was 19 in Illinois at that time. It was more expensive yes, but it tasted better than any other American beer to me. What became of that beer "Michelob Lager"? Michelob Ultra lacks taste as well as calories. It's not worth sacrificing the taste to stoop to this beer and pretend it is a satisfying beer. I cannot find Michelob Lager anywhere here in Western Washington. I miss it.

The least exciting beer I’ve tried to date, it’s not bad, it’s not good, it’s barely anything other than sad water. Just get some Natty Light or Miller Lite instead.

This beer is like a seltzer water with a hint of beer flavoring.

Nose is sweet corn with the slightest hint of noble hops.
Taste is much the same. Light sweet corn, a bit grainy, very subtle hop character.
No terrible for what it is. Would certainly choose this over bud light.
Not as good as Miller lite or high life.
Clean, dry finish. Drinking this after a run and it’s quite refreshing.

All that said - drink it quickly. Does not warm up well :)

No color, no smell, tastes like someone added a splash of beer to carbonated water. Would rather drink anything else over this.

The pour is straw colored with a fair amount of carbonation. The body is light & the taste is grains, water, & light hops. This was an okay beer but maybe a little too light for my preference although I would recommend this beer for someone who is a little too out of shape. Cheers! C
