    I generally stay away from Budweiser products but I do like their Bud Light Lime on a hot day. It reminds me of the Shandys I used to drink in England during the summer. I also like fruited beers like Magic Hat #9 which has apricot to Belgian Raspberry Lambics. So, I came across this product in the beer aisle yesterday...

    Who at Bud let this stuff get past the focus groups. It's terrible. I falls flat in all three categories: seltzer, beer and ice tea. No redeeming value to my tastebuds. I guess I was hoping for a fizzy Snapple Peach Iced Tea with a kick.
    Don't waste your money!

    I am liking the various Selzers, typically the clear Vodka ones, not with Tea. I just can't digest beer like I once could, the new Selzers are nice not filling and hydrate as you drink. :)

    On a scorching Texas summer day, not much better than an ice cold piss beer & a shady spot in the backyard while tending the smoker!
    Bud Light is my preferred. That combo you just described seems kind of all over the place flavor-wise...T

    Pretty much immediately lost me at:

    Bud

    Light

    Seltzer

    Iced Tea

    Only "Bud" product I ever thought was OK, was "Bud Dry," unless you are talking "Czech Bud."

    Light? VERY few beverages I am willing to swallow have that in their description. Will admit? "Coors Light" is not "horrible.

    Seltzer? Almost every "hard seltzer" has a horrid "malt beverage" taste.

    Iced Tea? I pretty much only like my own "sun tea," made in a glass pitcher, brewed by the sun. No sugar/sweetener, and just a bit of fresh squeezed lemon.

    The ONLY Bud I ever liked was Bud Ice? I think, but that was 25 years ago in college. Distributor got a incorrect delivery and was selling for something like 50% off to move it fast. We bought 1 or 2 car loads of it

    WAY back in the day (about late 1989, very early 1990?) Thought "Bud Dry" was OK. But? For mass-market "beer," my go to is still Miller Genuine Draft.

    Budweiser makes truly awful products. No small wonder, then, that all of their bottling facilities are next to sewage treatment plants. Some months ago when aluminum was scarce because of C19 shortages, the only beer left at the local spirits shop was Budweiser. Not a can or bottle left of any other brand, but plenty Budweiser.

    Pretty much most of the seltzer ice teas are awful. If you are looking for seltzer “High Noon” makes a bunch of different flavors that seem better than other brands. If you are looking for ice tea flavor then firefly ice tea flavored vodka is quite good. Makes a great John Daly.
