Have you guys seen this stuff in stores? I just saw it yesterday and it made me laugh a little...
Bud Light Golden Wheat
Bud Light Golden Wheat
In the end I see this as a stepping stool to craft beers for the fizzy yellow beer drinkers

hopefully this will bring them to understand that there is more to beer than bud light and "the dark stuff".
it irks me when someone sees me drinking a hefeweizen (I know... a hefeweizen) and say that's too dark for me.
really?
So is this a light version of a wheat beer or just branded as bud light? People seem to think it tastes watered down which I'm thinking may be because they actually did try to lower the calories on it.
My G*d yes!! No one can tell me that the micro-brewers haven't had an effect on the national beer market.....Marketing gimmick...they'll do anything to get your buck!!! :-(
I'm drinking a sixer right now, I just had to try it. I told my wife geez its gonna s*ck. Even the bottle look dumb , like some secretary designed it. Now, work with me here. Its called Bud light Golden Wheat. So I am comparing to Bud light. Its 10 times better than Bud Light. It's not awesome, but its better than Bud Light.
The way I see, I'm tired of going places where only BMC is sold, and I dont have anything to drink. I hope people love it, that way I will have soemthing to sip on at BMC sponsored events.
Ive drank 2. Guy that owns the local beer store gave them to me to try a few weeks ago. He runs all new beers by me. I'm not aan expert but i guess im as close as he can get. Its not bad, but its not what we would consider a true Wit either. Its something i would order at the local BMC sponsored event. Definately not enough flavor though.
Had a few of these at a dinner this weekend. I like it. It's just like what you'd expect, Bud Light flavor with a little wheat flavor. No stronger wheat flavors like in German beers, like the traditional clove/banana type flavors, but you can definitely taste the wheat.
I'd have to say that while this doesn't hold up to real wheat beers, it definitely is the top of the Bud/Miller/Coors light beers.
Worth a try. But don't go in expecting a German wheat. But they're only 110 calories.
~r~
to be fair, most hefeweizens are only 170-180 per 12oz.
as far as this being at the top of BMC, I'm not really sure. I kind of prefer Blue moon to this stuff
...However I'll look more closely next time at the wheat and if the bottles are similar to the american amber ale bottles they have I may have no choice.
Those bottles are SWEET.
Have either of you tried shock top? Is this just a rebranding of that?
