Budweiser Select




Budweiser Select.

Hmmm... King of Beers. I've never been a big Bud guy, usually preferring it's arch-nemesis Miller. That is probably rooted in my Wisconsin upbringing, but regardless, I generally prefer the taste of Miller.

Bud Select is no exception to this preference. I don't like it. It's only recent beer-can challenger on my palate was the High Life from last week, which I'll review later.

Basically this tastes like Bud to me, full strength, high octane Budweiser. I actually feel like I'd prefer Bud Lite to this. Hopefully as I drink more cans of other things I'll be able to describe it better.

I really enjoy the fresh, full taste of Budweiser, and with only 99 calories, how can you go wrong with Budweiser Select! Mmmmmmm.

For my active lifestyle, there is no other beer that can satisfy my quench while taming my waistline. :)

Hi. I'm Bill. The one mentioned in the original post. I'm the beer snob. No question. Generally if I'm sitting at the bar with anything less than an Westcoast double Amercian pale ale in an imperial pint class, well then I may as well be drinking unicorn diarrhea. Which brings me to Bud Select.

"Distinct & Flavorful Beer with a Bold Taste that Finishes Clean."

That is the claim printed on the can. I will address it point by point:

Distinct - Distinct from other beers in this category in a similar way that water from my kitchen tap is distinct from water in my bathroom tap.

Flavorful - It taste like something so there is indeed flavor.

Beer - Bud is made with rice so fuck off with the "beer" claim.

with a Bold Taste - now they're just being silly.

that Finishes clean - YES! with such little taste, the sensation of beer-like taste quickly leaves the mouth.

Bartender...I would like to close my tab please.
