I'm pretty sure it's still less than Bud Heavy. So it's an in between light and heavy. Maybe Bud Medium or Bud Big Boned would have been a more appropriate name.

It's okay. It's about $6 a six pack where I am, prob $.50 cheaper or so if I got it at Wal-Mart. Kinda just tastes like crisp no flavor bud light, but with the nasty aftertaste of a 40oz, like high life or something. For a cheap buzz I supposed I couldn't complain compared to drinking an Earthquake or some ****. They do a very good job of hiding the nearly 50% more abv as bud light. I would have loved this in college.

Also, the blue bottles remind me of "Skyy Blue" (similar to Bacardi Silver) a malt beverage from the company that makes Skyy Vodka.

I actually was surprised to find one of these at my Superbowl party. My taste buds were already shot from a a Founders' Pale but I did try it. Noticeably higher alch content but still reasonably balanced - still reminded me of a Bud/Coors/etc.

It did flip a switch tho. How on earth can a light beer have more alcohol than the regular (Bud heavy), yet still be considered light? Has anyone thought about this?

1 can of Bud Light has 120 calories, 4.2% alch
1 can of Bud Platinum has 137 calories, 6.0% alch
1 can of Bud Heavy has 145 calories, 5.0% alch

I've been brewing for several years now, so I should probably know all the tricks between sugar, calories, and alch content. The extra percentage point of alch (from heavy to plantinum) is a 20% increase in total alch - but the calories are actually decreasing about 5%.

Is it possible that each of corn, rice, barley has more/less calories than the other two? Is it possible that certain non-fermentables can impart taste while the entire beer is made of a low calorie fermentable?

I'd would really love some insight into this. Thanks for any chemists out there!

I tried it and it was awful. I tasted some sort of artificial sweetener... and thats all I could taste. I guess they could filter then add sugar. Either way they sweeten it for sure.

I agree about the artificial sweetener part. Really no taste except an aftertaste of sweetness. And the bottles are not even pry offs. I knew I should not have bought these...
