on THE TAPHANDLE

Bud Light, a Pale Lager by Anheuser-Busch Companies

12 ounce can. A friend was celebrating his fortieth birthday. A surprise party was thrown for him. Bud Light was the beer of choice. I had never previously drank a Bud Light. A Budweiser, yes; a Bud Light, no. I figured that it couldn't be that bad. It was. I should have had the punch.

The aroma was that of skunky bad breath, with a very faint hint of aluminum. (Thank you, can.) The flavor was almost non-existent. It tasted like fizzy, dirty water. The palate was horrible—thin and watery.

In the future, I will definitely pass. I would rather drink water—clean water!
