Since people are looking for a Bud Light Golden Wheat review, I though I’d give it to them (thanks for the heads up Brando). Below is my review of the beer copied from BeerAdvocate. Take a listen to the podcast.
12 oz bottle poured into an American Tumbler. 09254 (Aug 23rd) Julian Date “Roll gently to mix” on back – due to sediment. SCORE: C
A – It certainly is golden! A bit dark for a wit-style-type-thingie. Golden orange and totally hazed with a fast-forming but fast-leaving white head. Low retention and no lacing left on the glass. 3/5
S – The citrusy orange peel is immediately evident if not a bit too strong. The coriander is there too behind the lopsided orangey-ness of it but is still prominent. The wheat is pushed far back as this beer relies heavily on the orange peel carrying it. Not bad but a bit unbalanced. 2.5/5
T – Thankfully the orange peel isn’t as intense in flavor as it is in aroma. It’s much more balanced with the wheat (and other adjuncts) playing a bigger role and the coriander spicing and orange peel giving mellow attributions. Not bad. 3/5
M – Smooth and soft. Not as thin as one would imagine. It’s got a crisp finish that makes it refreshing too but the spiciness may get a bit cloying if… 3/5
D – …you’re going for drinkability. It’s good (for a Bud Light) but it seems geared towards women (no offense). It’s a bit fruity…in comparison to it’s rival Blue Moon. Not bad overall but the one bottle will be enough for me. Forever. 3.5/5
