Beer-a-Day #225

Anheuser-Busch’s exclusive ice-brewing process takes the beer to a temperature below freezing, which leads to the formation of ice crystals in the finishing process that gives Bud Ice and Bud Ice Light their rich, smooth taste.

Just when I thought I was done with macro lagers…

I don’t have high hopes for this one. It’s “light” and there’s that “ice-brewing process”. It’s more like “let’s take a beer with little-to-no flavor and remove some flavor from it”.

Yeah, yeah. “Keep an open mind” and all that.

It’s like water with a little yellow food coloring added. The white head seems to be lasting longer than some other macros I’ve had recently…nevermind. It’s gone. Smells a little bit like rotten pineapple and stale beer. At least it’s not skunked which, considering the funky clear bottle it’s in, is a surprise. (They probably use hop extract.)  It’s flat, and it tastes like a fraternity basement bar smells. I suppose on a really, really hot day this would be fairly refreshing (and your only other option was antifreeze).
