Bud Light
Bud Light arrived in the United States in 1982 as the lighter sibling of Budweiser and is brewed from barley malt, rice and a blend of American-grown and imported aroma hops. It pours pale straw with a white head that fades quickly. The nose is fresh and clean with a subtle hop note, and the palate shows a delicate malt sweetness over a faintly grainy base from the rice before a crisp, dry finish. The body is light, and the bitterness stays restrained from first sip to last.
