#69 Anheuser Busch - Bud Select

Tonight I went to Lemmon's Bar for trivia night. They have a better than average selection of beer but I ended up with a bucket of Bud Select to drink.

Bud Select had a little hops in the smell, but it was in a bottle so I couldn't get a good sniff. I know the color is a straw color, but a bit darker than normal. Lots of carbonation in this beer, but I can't judge the head since it was still in the bottle.

I recently complained that Bud Light doesn't have much taste, but that is not the case with Bud Select. Bud Select has a bitter, sour, maybe little skunky taste. I could only taste the slightest hint of sweetness in the beer, mainly the bitterness came though. The beer finished dry with little remaining taste which is odd for such a bitter taste. There is also a lot of carbonation in this beer which is really nice.

For a cheap 99 calorie beer this is an ok beer. I won't call it good, but it is better than Bud Light. I am holding off on the commercial beers for nights like this when it's more convenient to drink a commercial large company beer than the smaller craft beers.
