551 | Bud Light Lime | United States | Light / Lite Lager | 1.3
Aroma: 2 | Appearance: 5 | Mouthfeel: 2 | Flavor: 2 | Overall: 2 America: Missouri<br> Brewed in Canada by the Labatt Brewing Company<br> October 21, 2009<br> LCBO Outlet #255 (Milton, Ontario, Canada – Main / Bronte)<br> 355ml can <br> 4.20% ABV <br> $1.60<br> I tried this beer after purchasing a single can from the 'singles' bin at one of my local LCBO outlets. The beer pours a translucent gold colour with a generous white head that disappears quickly. The aroma is phenolic in nature and not appealing at all. The mouthfeel is weak bodied, flat, and lightly carbonated (odd considering the huge head). The flavour is flat, citrusy, and weakly malty. This is a pretty bad beer even by swill standards which makes it even more surprising that the masses love it so much. |
