I first have to explain my dislike for this name. If anyone from AB is listenting, whoever created the name B-to-the-E, Bud extra, BE, Bud E, whatever needs to be fired. When I go to the bar to order a drink I don't need to recite a laundry list of names that this drink may or may not go by. *phew* What a terrible name. The first time I tried this "beer" I was disgusted, it was expensive (around $5 a bottle) and had an odd fruity juice+beer taste. So why do I give it such a high score? Well the beer quickly grew on me. At the bar I go to they started to slash the price of B^E to $1 (yes!) so it was a drink I went to often when short on cash. I then began to like it's distinct taste which is of berries and beer, you can taste raspberry hints. The color is shiny gold and the bottles have a "cool" edge to them. The alcohol content is respectably high and the caffenie does indeed work well and keeps you alert and drunk at the same time. I'm not a fan of redbull and vodka but this is a varation on that theme. What I found best for this "beer" which is like a malt beverage (but not as sweet or girly) is that you can add liquor to it! Adding a shot of shnaupps, ameretto, whisky, or another flavorful spirit really makes Bud Extra taste like something special. I recommend this beer as an experiement if you can find this rare beverage. Also try to put liquor into it and you'll see the true power of Budwieser BE. It went from one of the worst beers I had, to one of my favorites. With an open mind and some mixology you might find B^E pretty pleasurable.

Now, I hope this review is taken seriously because it is so much higher than other reviews on this site. I must stick up for my favorite beer though, it isn't as bad as some are saying! I'm not a huge fan of Bud or Bud lite, but Bud Select gets the job done for me. I must admit Bud Select isn't a REAL beer, sort of like an un-Beer for people who enjoy beer but don't actually LOVE beer. The color is good, looks like A-B put some food coloring in regular Bud because the color is like carmel urine. The aroma is faint, but at least it isn't offensive, similair to the mouthfeel. Actually, Bud Select itself is just not offensive, it has an unsually clean taste with no aftertaste (none!) and a sharp and sweet marco-beer flavor upfront. The beer/drink is targeted for younger people and those who find beer to be too offensive and harsh yet aren't completely turned off by it. All in all the flavor is unique, unoffensive, and very pleasing if you are only a casual beer drinker. It's the best low-carb beer out there too, I think everyone can agree about that!
