What were they thinking when they decided to release this beer! Created an account just so I could mention how bad this beer sucks! This beer sucks! Oh...
Taste... I was hit with, old rotten tea, (at least that's what I'd think rotten tea would taste like) too sweet, this is an insult to all lagers!
Smell... eh, not pleasing...
Look... yellow...
Feel... wet
Overall... sucks!

Is it possible to scream while drinking a "beer"? I'm asking for a friend. The friend is me.
This tastes like someone poured Arizona tea into a bottle of 7-Up and then added yeast and fermented it for 2 weeks.
Look, I don't mind beers like this every now and then. Hell, I quite like Bud Light Platinum. Even Bud Light Lime is tolerable. But this is just nasty. Too much lemon and tea, and not enough beer. It's closer to Mike's Hard Ice Tea than anything resembling a beer. Stay away.

I have never found a beer that I enjoyed so I always pass on drinking one. Until I tried the Bud Lite Lemon Tea. I absolutely love this beer. I find it refreshing and lite. I wish they sold it year round by me but they don’t. So sadly I have to wait until summer to be able to enjoy it.

Looks like a lemon tea. Tastes like a lemon tea. Fills a niche. Not too bad for a bud product.

I just finished my #WatermelonWednesday entry to #BumptheHump & now I am going to delve into a rather large CAN to try & stay cool on this hot, humid Summer evening.
From the CAN: "This is the famous Bud Light … We believe what we put into our beer is just as important as what we leave out. That's why we brew using essential ingredients, real lemon peels, and age over tea leaves for the best in summer refreshment."; "Refreshment With a Twist"; "Lager Brewed with Real Lemon Peels and Aged on Tea Leaves with Natural Flavors".
I was startled by the loudness of the Crack! & so I signaled the crane into position to begin to lift this monstrous 25-fl. oz. CAN for a Glug. It ran pretty steadily on its own, so I just sat back & let it do its own thing. This included the formation of just under two fingers of fizzy, foamy, roacky, bone-white head that quickly fell away to wisps. Color was a gorgeous Golden-Amber (SRM = > 5, < 7) with NE-quality clarity, calling forth The Gelt Gang of Midas, Croesus & Mammon, all wanting a taste. Nose had a curious tea-like quality with a slight hint of lemon & a slight perfuminess.
I am going to pause here for my $0.02 worth - this would do better as a "Spiced & Herbed Beer" or even a "Fruit & Field Beer", but as an ALL, I CANnot get behind giving it high marks.
Mouthfeel was thin & watery. The taste was really odd with the tea being the strongest flavor in this curious mélange. I am curious as to what sort of tea they used in this. It seemed like Black Tea or something with a strong flavor. The lemon reminded me of enhancing iced tea with a wedge of lemon, but I generally eschew doing so. As far as being able to tell that it was a beer of any stripe, that was a lost cause. A LOT of people are making fun of the new spate of spiked seltzers, but this is what some of them taste like! I just was not feeling it as any style or type of beer. Finish was semi-dry, very mellow & tea-like, but not very satisfying in terms of its being a beer.

Bud Light Lemon Tea brewed by Anheuser-Busch, with an ABV of 4.20% This American Light Lager pours out of a 25 oz can into a pint beer glass. The color is a nice light golden amber color with a thin white head. There is a little to no lacing to this brew. The smell is Rich with tea sweetness, mixed with light brew. Kinda smells like Arizona sweet tea, not saying that is a bad thing. You pick up on fint brew notes as well in the smell. Now for the taste, it is Bold with a mild sweet iced tea notes mixed with brew notes. If you are a fan of Iecd tea I highly recommend you give this brew a try. The body of Bud Light Lemon Tea is a light medium. There is nothing overpowering about this brew, it has a super nice balance to it. This brew would go nice on a hot summer day. The mouth feel is Bold Sweet, Iced Tea, Smooth, Clean and Refreshing. Overall I going to give Bud Light Lemon Tea a 3.75 out of 5. I would definitely look this brew up again givin the opportunity too. Anheuser-Busch did a nice job on this light brew.
