Historical Community Tasting Notes

Preserved from the RateBeer community archive (circa 2000–2018)

This made me throw up. Im not kidding. Very average lager which lacks the ice beer qualities found in things like Ice House and Natty Ice. I drank one 24 ounce can and it came right back up, odd for a man who drinks around 80 ounces of beer a day. It just doesnt sit right in the gut. Pours a light golden yellow similar to its older brother(Budweise
Somewhat literally since I forgot about it in my freezer and although it didnt freeze solid, it poured as a big slushy mess initially. I let it thaw before continuing. Thick white head. The nose is lightly grainy with a bit of sweetness. Its fairly bland and uninteresting, but compared to the MGD64, its like Westy 12 except that it isnt.
No money, rough day, (real) beer store closed = Old School!! Ugh, I cant believe I did this. I think this is the actual taste of regret. Yellow, fizzy, corny, sweet. This could possibly be the purest example of getting what you paid for: $1.19 for 24oz. PS: DONT LET IT GET WARM!!!!!!!
