I think this beer gets too much hate. Its not terrible but its like bud light just better made with VERY smooth finish to it. The color is more pale or as pale as regular bud light. It doesn't have to much strong beer flavor in my opinion. But obviously more alchol with 6%. You cannot taste the alcohol in this. I do think this brew they took time on
P.s: with the 12 pack i got in the slim cans, I do believe this could be considered a gurly smooth beer. Theres not much beer flavor except a crisp aluminum tin flavor that hits immediately then smooths out. Personally I think this may be a gurls night out type beer but to be honest I like it. Weirdly smooth with good percentage. Not too many calories sitting at 139. Good job anheuser-busch

Would never drink this without planning on at least getting buzzed, but I trust this lager enough to not make me want to puke my brains out the following morning, let alone the same night, so that counts for something right?

There is an unpleasant sweet aftertaste in this beer that you don't get with regular Bud Light.
Don't recommend this unless the sole thing you are after is the 6% ABV, which is obviously higher for a lighter beer.
