It’s All The Same
I’m not too proud to admit that I’m a bit of a beer snob. There are a few domestic brews that are OK - but, for the most part, imports blow them away. Sam Adams and Shiner Bock are a couple of fine American beers, and quite a few of the microbreweries make brews worth drinking.
It’s generally an accepted rule of thumb that anything from Anheuser-Busch is crap. Although, they do have some great commercials. Just stay away from their beer.
Near the bottom of the AB brand - if not THE bottom - is Bud Light. You know, as if regular “full-bodied” Budweiser isn’t bad enough, they reduce the calories, along with the “flavor”, and what do they end up with? Right, donkey piss.
But, like I said, they do have a great marketing machine down there at Anheuser-Busch corporate. And the constant barrage of ads for the new Bud Light Lime finally intrigued me enough to give it a try. After all, the crisp, refreshing, taste of lime in the summer is highly refreshing. And with the addition of the lime, this “premium light beer” certainly wouldn’t taste like donkey piss anymore.
And, it doesn’t. Now it tastes like donkey piss, with lime.
Back to being a beer snob for me.

Yes, but you drink that Mexican donkey piss with the lime - which, quite frankly, is worse than this. At least BL is made with American water.
Note, however, that Bud Light Lime is in a clear bottle, just like Corona. Thus, the donkey piss. You’d think these brewer who’ve been in the business for 100 years would have learned about brown/green glass by now.

I beg to differ that Bud Light is better than Corona. I wouldn’t even bother trying it because honestly…you just can’t get good, authentic donkey piss in America. It has to come from mexican donkeys or it’s just not the same.
Although I DID see a commercial last night for Sam Adams Summer Ale and it looked like it might be really good. I plan on trying it soon.
