LOUIS - Last April, Bud Light Lime Lime-A-Rita hit shelves, and in less than eight months, became the leading flavored malt beverage brand on the market, selling more than 500,000 barrels. Review: Great Lakes' Hissyfit Grisette (Tank Ten S.ST.Review: Bellwoods Wizard Wolf Session Ale.Skunkworth's Barleyslime: Bud Lime STRAW-ber-RITA.Review: Microbrasserie Charlevoix's La Vache Folle.at 8% per can, it's easy to get buzzed on this stuff at $3.30/can, but then you WILL have the worst sugar hangovers of your life (or vibrant red piss). why would you be buying beer when coolers offer a better flavour than a malt liquor product? Because branding, that's why. This is a product for those who don't like the taste of beer, but seriously. I just noticed that this malt liquor product isn't branded as "Bud Light Lime" but rather "Bud Lime", but considering it's 8% ABV and well over 400 calories per 473mL can, I think Health Canada would be shutting this product down fast if it had "lite" or "light" in the name. Bud Light Lime Straw-ber-rita is incredibly sweet, overly syrupy strawberry-like flavour. who knew that Anheuser-Busch InBev would try to force feed this stuff again. Overall Thoughts: This reminds me of all those malt liquor based coolers that were the rage a decade ago like Zima. An incredibly sticky feeling mouth after drinking this and some syrupy sludge on my tongue. this reminds me of those cheap VOX coolers that come in a big plastic 1L jug. There's a vague taste of soap in there, but overall. Taste: Tastes like it smells, fake strawberry syrup, sucralose - and lots of it, the feeling of my teeth rotting as I sip on this and a very sweet malt liquor sort of flavour at the back of my mouth. It's so sweet and strong that it's giving me a headache (no lies!) Very sugary and 430 calories per 473mL serving, not a drink for the diet conscious people at all, but with the big heaping of sucralose in every serving, this is for those who want a beer that doesn't taste like a beer. Are they actually using any beer in this? Doubtful.Īroma: The strong pungent smell of strawberry syrup is the first and foremost smell in here. It's incredibly fizzy and carbonated, like as if it's using sprite instead of beer as a base. It's reminiscent to some of the fruity coolers you can find on shelves today, but somehow brighter. The incredibly bright red hue to it is just NOT natural. Straw-ber-rita is Bud Light's take on Bud Light Lime meets a strawberry margarita.Īppearance: Bud Lime Strawberita looks like a strawberry cooler with some radioactive material added to it. Remember Zima? That's where I find Labatt is heading now days, they haven't created a new product aimed towards the beer drinking crowd of all time, but instead - they're trying to get cooler/cocktail drinking young adults to drink their products. Mainly so I could review it and see how bad it is for myself? Bud Lime Strawberita is Anheuser-Busch InBev's (Labatt) newest take on "beer", and by "beer" I mean fruity coolers. I don't know why I bought a can of Bud Light Lime Straw-ber-rita but. Today's one of those "oh god Cody, what did you get yourself into?" days.
