While it is not a great beer, it is not spit take bad. It was sweeter than I remember. It still had that Bud taste I remember. It was not bad in a lite beer sirt of way.

Funny you say sweet because I remember that character and I think Bud Light has it too. Might be why I don't like it... I prefer a drier beer. Mission accomplished Zymot!I went to the liqour store tonight ot pick upa sixer of real beer. (Goose Island IPA) Also picked up a 25 oz Bud, just for a $2.40 walk down memory lane.

If you dare!Actually, i just realized i drank a bunch of Bud and BL when i was golfing about a month ago. I can't say taste was really on my mind at the time. Although, i do have one of each leftover in the back of my fridge. They came back home in my golf bag.
Should i do a taste test?

My dad was the same way... Stroh's, Hamm's, Blatz, Old Style, Special Export, Drewry's, Goebel, Old Milwaukee, Schlitz.Bud is welcome in my fridge. I'll slam one if they're around. But Light? Not so much. Growing up, my Father had any array of cheap beer like Black Label, Hamms, Piels, Shaffer, Busch, Meister Brau, Gennessee CA etc.... So, I don't mind slugging down any cold beer on a hot lawn cut day and if you ever come over and spy a Natty Ice in my beer fridge, I probably bought it

I am so sick of quintuple-IPAs and imperial bullshit that I'd take a bud light over most beers nowadays. Had Modelo Especial in the cooler over the weekend. Wanted Dos Equis, but I don't want to admit that their ad campaign works on me!

I'm really enjoying the session IPA craze. I've been drinking lots of Sam Adam's Rebel Rider. Only 4.5% ABV!

That's what my climbing buddy's been digging lately. I'm over hops.

I like that I can now find a lot of different style options all under 5%, this helps with the little kids factor

I agree, seems most of what I brew now is 4-5.5%.

I'm bucking the trend. thinking back to recent brews:
6.7% (pale ale)
7.7% (strong ale)
9.4% (saison)
8.1% (DIPA)
the two before that were more "normal". 5.5-6% I think. for me there is a sweet spot - probably in the upper 6% region. low ABV beers are nice in some ways but often lack the body and depth I'm looking for. too high an ABV often becomes too sweet and heavy for me to really enjoy it often. it's not about getting drunk for me - it's about producing something that I like the taste of. it just so happens that's typically not a session beer for me.

I typically clock in around a 4.5% to 5%.
I suppose I should actually take readings.
I've got a buddy whose motto is "Go Big or Go Home". I think his weakest beer will clock in around 6.5%. Most of his are 7.5% to 8%.

All of my beers are in the 8-10% range, then they go to 40% then to 82% then back down to 65%

I really like it for summer beers. The bitterness makes it crisp and refreshing while still being able to carry some malt backbone.
