500ml can. Brewed in Russia. Pours pale yellow with a small white head. Aroma is paper, corn. Taste is light sweet, cereal. Very watery. Worse than the usual budwesier, which I may have rated a little harshly.

[Bottle at Coast 2 Coast, Stevenage) Although most people love to hate it, I personally have no objections to the standard Budweiser. It?s crisp, clean and easy-drinking (albeit lacking in flavour) and is pretty refreshing on a hot day. I therefore thought a lower abv version would actually be a good idea, as you don?t necessarily want something as strong as a regular bud on a hot day. Unfortunately this was nothing like regular Bud. It pours a pale gold, but the thin white head vanishes almost immediately. There?s a very mild fizz, but this had died by the end leaving the beer flat. The beer is very bland and watery, with little taste other than mild soggy cardboard. It?s rubbish, makes me think of what the bad Sainsbury?s economy lager I tried last year would have been like if I?d have left it open overnight. Oh well, hopefully that will be my sole pale lager over and done with for the year!

330ml bottle from Tesco - Piss yellow, no head. Nose is sweet and grainy. Taste is just sweet. Sickly and sugary. Nondescript palate. Ideal for the BBQ crowd.

Light golden coloured clear lager. Holds little taste but not the worst body which is fairly crisp.

(300ml Bottle) Was left at home after a house party so not purchased through choice. Taste and aroma of nothing at all really so can not thing of how to describe it, I just know I never want to see/taste it again as it does nothing for me.

Nov 2010: This beer is brewed for the UK market only (I am lead to believe), God knows where it is actually produced. Clear 300ml bottle, the cap already promised to a BA in the US. ’jermsumm’ gets it in my next package. The brew number is a special one; it means something to a lot of British people, which is obviously why Bud choose 66. When a Brit hears the number 66 it reminds him of different things, depending on age and education. Let me explain: 1066 The Battle of Hastings, where we defeated an invading French army: 1666 The Great Fire of London, 1966 When England won the football World Cup for the first and only time, or the iconic Route 66 from Chicago to LA: However, a number between 65 and 67 is what it’ll mean to most who buy this beer (if they can count that high). I poured the beer into a Hoegaarden Crand Cru stemmed tulip glass to give it some class (this failed to have the desired effect). It looked like a regular lager/pilsner/helles, golden clear, clean and bright. The white head leaving before it had fully arrived, a trait I hate. You’ll not be suprised to hear the beer had very little aroma or taste, in fact it reminded me of fizzy water such was its characterless, gassy, flavourless make-up. Perhaps I’m being unkind here, hey, no I’m not, this beer is terrible to the core (if it had a core to be terrible too). There was a mini hint of sweetness from something, but I couldn’t detect any hop, malt or yeast involvement what-so-ever it this so called brew. Most likely the worst beer I’ve ever reviewed since joining this site. My son-in-law bought me this on his first anniversary of his marriage to my daughter, can’t wait for next years treat!
