Along with most of the work force, on Friday evening my wife and I stopped for happy hour on our way home. We sat down at a high top and ordered a round of beers. I had a Sam Adams Oktoberfest and she ordered a Shock Top. We ended up eating dinner and then headed home.
On the way home we decided to stop by 7-Eleven and grab a six-pack along with a movie from Red Box. As we looked through the glass doors of the beverage coolers we saw a new beer. Anheuser Bush has released Bud Light Wheat. The packaging looked to be a mix between Bud Light and Shock Top. We decided to grab it and try something new. So we headed home with a new beer and a movie.
Last spring when I tried Budweiser’s American Ale, I was surprised at how flavorful the beer was, so I was excited to try this newest release.
I guess that I had really built up this beer before I tasted it because I was sorely disappointed in the taste. There was a small hint of wheat and orange flavors in the beer but still had the backbone taste of Bud Light.
You can tell from the packaging and idea behind this beer Anheuser Busch is trying to target the same market as Blue Moon and Shock Top. My advice to anyone in this market: spend the extra $1 for a six-pack and get a better beer.
