Bud Light Lime Beer Review
May 1, 2008
My name is Liz, and this is my first beer review for The Brew Club! Let me just start off with the disclaimer! By no means am I am an expert on beer… I just enjoy drinking it. So the below statements are just what I think about Bud Light Lime. OK, with that said… Let’s continue with the review!
As far as 2 weeks ago, I started seeing more and more commercials for Bud Light Lime (I guess it’s Bud Light’s answer to Miller’s Chill). As a current Bud Light drinker, I was pretty excited about trying this lime flavored beer from Bud. I mean, come on… Who doesn’t like beer with a slight hint of lime? For years people have been adding a little lime to their Coronas, right? Blue Moon has lime flavored beer too! Its a popular trend! So, here we go! (drum roll please….)
At first glance I like the design of the Bud Light Lime bottle. It’s clear and the Lime logo makes it look kind of fun and refreshing. I think they’re definitely going with the summer feel here. Coincidental that they’re releasing this beer in early May for the start of spring/summer and the BBQ/Summer Party season? I think not… It makes sense to get people thinking abut what beers they are going to try for the summer season, right? Might as well be BL Lime.
I open it up and I smell a very, very slight hint of lime, not overpowering though. I pour the beer into my small glass (sorry no beer glass either), and it produces very little foam. As you can see in the picture, my glass is pretty small so it doesn’t fit the whole beer in it!
As I take my first taste of the Bud Light Lime, I can definitely taste the lime in the beer. It’s almost as if the lime flavoring is stronger than the beer itself because the taste of the beer isn’t very prominent; the lime overpowers it a bit.. If I had to describe the taste as best as I can, I would say that’s it tastes sort of like Sprite/7Up with a kick. The flavors are a little out of balance, more lime taste than beer taste. In my opinion, a little overdone with the lime.
I noticed that the Bud Light Lime has a 4.2% ABV, so its not a really strong beer in that sense – right on par I guess with the regular Bud offerings. How much does the Bud Light Lime Cost? In Jersey, I paid $6.49 for the six-pack (plus tax), so considering the average quality of this beer, I thing you can definitely get more bang for your buck.
To be honest, I’m a bit disappointed with the Bud Light Lime product, it’s not bad, but I was expect something a little bit more, and it’s a pretty normal light lime tasting beer. If you are wondering how many calories are in Bud Light Lime, its 116 calories. On the other hand, I think this is a pretty decent BBQ/summer beer if you’re trying to keep things light at the party. BL Lime can help, but overall I give this beer about 2 stars.

This is the second review I have read about Bud Lime and they are almost opposites of each other. The other I read was at losestadoslatinos.com That reviewer had nothing negative to say about the beer. I guess I will just have to go out and taste it for myself.
May 2nd, 2008 at 8:09 am
This is the best review I have ever read!
May 20th, 2008 at 11:11 am
I didn’t think this was a very good review at all. It sounds to me like you basically gave it a bad rating because of the alcohol content. This is baffling because 4.2% is the same alcohol content as a Bud Lite and is right in line with most lite beers.
If all I wanted was alcohol content, I’d go buy Colt 45, Mickey’s or Busch Ice and call it a day. Those will give you the “bang for your buck” that you are seeking.
May 28th, 2008 at 1:52 pm
compare it to corona…kinda the same, better or worse?
May 28th, 2008 at 6:24 pm
I would agree – mostly with the review. Nice too try, but a little too much on the lime. If “I” were to compare it to Corona, I would say – if you dumped a bottle of lime-juice into the Corona, you might get the same result!!! j/k prolly not that bad, but close! Tip…pick something other than this OR corona!!!!

Seconded.

I agree that the taste is disappointing. That may be due to the fact that AB just took a light beer and added lime flavor to it instead of having a chileda style recipe. About the alcohol content: Alcohol contents tend to be lower on light beers, because a higher alcohol content requires more calories. Basically, if AB is going to continue copying Miller, then they need to make sure they are coming out with a better quality product (less calories, better taste).
July 12th, 2008 at 12:59 pm
I love this beer!!! I guess some might call it a “chick” beer, but all I know is that I’ve got a large group of female friends, and we’re all drinking it now…I like it better than Corona. Beer tends to fill me up too much if I’m drinking it throughout the day at a cookout or party…so I’d rather have the option to drink a couple more, without being more “buzzed” or full. I have been a loyal Miller Lite drinker for many years, but this is my new beer! I’m finding that more and more bars and restaurants have it available, and the clerk at my local liquor store said that they can’t keep it on the shelves, and that’s been much better received than Miller Chill. So girls, give it a try, you’ll love it…Enjoy!

I just bought a 6 pack today. I’ve been an avid BL drinker for YEARS and well though it will not replace my regular BL it had a very good taste to it. It definately dont taste like Sprite or 7up like the reviewer compared it to. It tasts like Bud Light with a slight hint of lime. Just enough lime flavor to let you know it’s in the beer. I think they did a great job at offering another version of a simply wonderful beer
July 12th, 2008 at 8:30 pm
Thanks for sharing your thoughts everyone! It seems people either love or hate this Bud Light Lime stuff! I give the brewer credit for putting new brews out there to see what hits or misses, and it seems AB has a hit with the Bud Light Lime!
July 12th, 2008 at 11:53 pm
I’m a big guy and rather not dwell on the opinions of others. I think BL hit the jackpot. This beer is tastefully delicious. I ride a harley and all my biker friends drink it faster that any competitor beer or regular BL. Booo on the fools that have nothing but negative experience/input on the genious of this beer. Keep it at the rally’s. Right on BL!

I absolutely LOVE Bud light lime!….I have had many different beers and like most….BLL is a great beer for men and women alike…especially for summer. It is very smooth and refreshing. It’s the perfect drink for a day on the beach or at your next picnic. I have had Miller chill and don’t care much for it. And at the casino I work at…BLL sells MUCH better than Chill does now…so way to go Budweiser!! you top Miller again
cheers!
July 14th, 2008 at 2:33 pm
Due to all the recent comments stating that Bud Light Lime is a great beer, as the post author, I’ve decided to give BL Lime a second try. Let me just say that once again I’m pretty disappointed by the taste! To me, when drinking it I still think that the lime flavor over powers the beer itself.
Bud Light Lime has gained popularity and lots of people seem to like it, but in my opinion if I’m drinking a beer that has some fruit infusions added to it, I want to taste the beer and have a nice subtle aftertaste of the fruit.
Wouldn’t you agree?
July 23rd, 2008 at 4:52 pm
If there is such a product, the taste of Bud Light
Lime Beer would resemble a bottle of Lime Pledge.
P.S. I don’t recommend spraying Pledge down your throat.
July 24th, 2008 at 6:19 pm
the taste is refreshing. today i went to brunos, winn dixie and publix and they did not have a single six pack or 12 pack for sale. said there was a problem with shelf life…..
July 28th, 2008 at 11:09 am
BJ’s is selling the case of 24 for $19 and something. Great price and a great light beer.
July 28th, 2008 at 12:30 pm
Interesting comments! I’ve not heard anything about shelf life problems – maybe they are just selling it as fast as it comes in?
August 3rd, 2008 at 5:29 pm
I love the Bud Light Lime. Its the only beer I drink its great!! My slogan is . Everythings better with a Bud Light Lime!!!!!!
August 5th, 2008 at 2:54 pm
This is a great beer. The first bottle is a bit strong on the lime but it gets better and smooths out after that. Very refreshing and drinkable. I like the slightly lower alcohol and carbs too. So far it’s the highest rated Mexican lime style beer there is including Corona with a wedge. All these polsters can’t be wrong.
August 7th, 2008 at 2:49 pm
How many Calories? in the great new Bud Light Lime?
August 15th, 2008 at 6:34 pm
Wow….BL Lime is really good! I had tried Miller Chill a few times and though it was O.K….it was nothing special. Today I grabbed BL Lime to give it a try…though I wasn’t expecting much I gotta say….this is far superior to Miller Chill. It has a really fresh lime taste and is just really nice overall. GREAT JOB, AB!
August 15th, 2008 at 8:31 pm
OK, almost four months has passed since Liz first reviewed BL Lime, and I FINALLY got to try it myself and see what all the buzz is about! Generally speaking, it comes across as a Bud that has lime added to cover up the horribleness. It’s like when people who add tons of ketchup, onions and other condiments to their venison burgers because without all the added flavor to camouflage the deer meat taste, it would be terrible. To me, the lime is OK, but it comes across as artificial-tasting. The beer is without body, its thin, no lacing, fizzy head – then flat. Totally flat. Its a better-tasting beer than plain-’Ol Bud, but that isn’t saying much really. I agree with Liz, the original reviewer, and I still think Blue Moon’s Rising Moon does the “lime thing” best. – 2 stars.
August 19th, 2008 at 4:13 am
Bud Light Lime is a hit with me and my homeys. I have to agree with those that say it is similar to corona without the inconvenience of having to chop up limes. The flavour is good and it goes down so smooth that sure you will drink more of them, but with the lower alcohol content which still isn’t so bad, why not enjoy more beers while barbecuing, etc. I have never been a fan of domestic beers. I usually drink corona, grolsch, heineken, stella artois, so bud light lime is definitely a new thing to me. I tried it at a hotel pool bar this summer and BLAMMO, instant big fan. When I got home from vacation, i bought a few cases of bud light lime and some of my friends tried it, they all instantly liked it too. So for those who think it tasted like sprite, you need to get your taste buds checked.
August 19th, 2008 at 7:12 pm
Bud lite lime is one of the best “concept” beers on the market…superior drinkability and an extra smooth flavor. Although it is somewhat of a chick beer i love drinking it and will continue to keep the fridge stocked with this…
August 25th, 2008 at 10:31 pm
I just wanted to add my 2 cents and say that I didn’t drink beer at all because I hated the bitterness of beer but I decided to give beer one last shot and tried the BL Lime and actually enjoyed every aspect of it. It was flavorful, easy going down and no bitterness. If they continue this line, I will continue to drink it.
September 5th, 2008 at 11:46 am
Cant get enough of Budlight Lime…..haha
September 5th, 2008 at 6:48 pm
The first BLL I tried was just ok but after the next few it has really grown on me. I do not mind the 4.2% because its a nice beer to have a few of after a long day at work or the beach or just whatever. I am hooked on this beer and I know some think its a chick beer but look at how many men love it so why keep saying it’s a chick beer. Its just a good beer that we all can love and be happy with. GO AB. I have never tried Millers ver. but I am so happy with BL I don’t think I am going to even try there’s. Brought 3 case today and am going to chill had have a hurricane party. All are welcome to come by……….. GREAT BEER.. I also do homebrew and I still love this beer.
September 9th, 2008 at 1:27 pm
I really love the taste of Bud Lite Lime and it’s the best when compared to the other lime beers out there! I never really liked Bud Lite, but the Bud Lite Lime makes all the difference in taste. I do think that it has more carbs & calories than Michelob Ultra, which was my favorite beer before I got hooked on Bud Lite Lime! I wonder if anyone else noticed a weight gain from Bud Lite Lime??
September 16th, 2008 at 2:41 am
Since Michelob, Now Bud Light Lime is my #1 beer.
September 18th, 2008 at 5:11 am
After reading the review of BLL, I must admit I was laughing during some parts, such as saying that BLL tastes like Sprite/7up. Maybe your mistaken it for miller chill. The taste of BLL in my opinion is great. I use to drink Bud Light and Corona, but not anymore. With Corona I would always squeeze lime and sometimes it got annoying. With BLL the lime is already there, just open and drink. I can understand if people consider miller chill a chick drink but I can’t agree with BLL fitting in that category. Beer such Corona, Hefeweizen, and Blue Moon are beers where you use Lime/Lemon/Orange but I don’t hear people saying those are chick drinks. With any beer, drinking it won’t make you get a beer belly, it mostly depends ont he foods you eat while drinking any type of beer. If your gaining weight, just becareful with the foods you consume, keep away from the deep fry foods.
September 24th, 2008 at 3:01 pm
Im not so much of a beer drinker and that includes corona!! But bud light lime made all of that change!! If some one wants something with more of a kick with lime well theres a name for that….. shot of patron silver with a slice of lime and salt. If you can handle a couple of them!!!
October 2nd, 2008 at 11:19 am
BLL is an amazing beer considering it came from AB. I think it takes corona by the neck of the bottle and snaps it in half. There is no way it’s a chick beer, there is no shame if you’re a guy and you drink BLL. The bar i hangout at keeps running out of BLL cause my buddy and I drink it and get everyone else to drink it, its a total dude beer and chick beer. its a unisex beer! We get buckets for $10 and the waitresses can’t keep them full enough on football sundays. IMO it has the correct amount of lime and goes down like juice. its really easy to drink and thats the scary part, cause it can sneak up on you. It really goes down like water on a hot day, really smooth and refreshing. It’s like butter!
October 7th, 2008 at 6:06 pm
This review is off BLL is the best lime beer on the market right now, I was a Corona fan but one sip of this beer and I was hooked. I know many beer drinkers who got hooked after the first one. It just gives you such a refreshing feeling after a long day and for party time. My suggestion is have one ASAP.
October 7th, 2008 at 9:11 pm
I tried BLL, it sucks ! If I want a Lime soda with some alcohol added, I mix Sprite with Crown. Beer should taste like beer and there is no beer taste in BBL. More like a wine cooler than beer. The lime is over done, there should be just a hint of lime and would be much better. After two from a six pack, it gave me heartburn. Bad beer !
October 14th, 2008 at 8:15 pm
I have been a Corona fan for a lifetime, I didn’t want to try the Budlight/w/ lime for the longest…i tried the Miller product (chill) IT WAS NASTY! The Budlight /w/ lime is the BEST ! I without a flinch switched to the bud/lime from Corona…and that says something since i have (again) drank Corona for YEARS…faithfully…I now have changed and don’t feel bad about it!
October 29th, 2008 at 9:03 pm
Bud Lite Lime is so good that my wife asked me for one this evening. She has
never asked me for any other kind of beer. She and I both like it very much.
I just finished drinking two of them and they were great. I wish I had another one
but I am out for now.
October 30th, 2008 at 7:38 am
i was in the florida back in september on holiday from scotland,whilst doing the theme parks my party and i went to sea world and sampled BLL at the AB hospitality centre.must admit absolutley loved it!! for the whole vacation thats what i drank at the villa. great taste and easy to go down! if i wanted to get off my head i would drink stella artois(or wife beater as we call it over here)i hope they import it for sale on the uk market!
November 4th, 2008 at 12:13 am
It tastes like fruit loops! I swear it does! Try it again it tastes like the lime fruit loops!
November 8th, 2008 at 6:32 pm
freakin Awsome! The best thing next to Killians draft… Hope the cost comes down so we can drink more. We both agree that BLL is the best beer with any spicy food combination and Drink on!!!
December 22nd, 2008 at 9:46 pm
I think the review is very nice, although I dissagre about the taste of the beer. I am a fan of strong beer (ie Guiness, Moose Droul), but this beer hits the spot. I do have to say that out of 15 or 10 people I usually drink with, I am the only one that likes it. But who cares, if you like it drink it up.
January 30th, 2009 at 2:45 pm
I love the new bud light lime! It’s a beer you can drink after drinking beer all night. The next day… it never tastes bad! It’s refreshing and yummy! Way to go AB… you definitely did your best this time!
March 30th, 2009 at 2:37 pm
I love it! Now it’s in cans and we can float the Comal River with our fav lime cerveza!
April 1st, 2009 at 1:31 am
I tried Bud Light Lime was I was on vacation in CA and I’ll be honest it wasn’t my cup of tea, second time around it tasted slightly better. Definitely not worthy of taking of the top beer of the summer! It in all honest truth tastes like a wine cooler!
April 5th, 2009 at 9:23 pm
Every Tuesday here in COTTAGEVILLE SOUTH CAROLINA is BUD LIGHT LIME DAY at my house, me and the girls have a tiki hut with BUD LIGHT LIME STUFF, Budweiser needs to sell more items example: BLL towels, etc.
Thanks DEBBIE
May 11th, 2009 at 2:21 pm
I’m a Heineken Light and Corona w/ lime fan and decided to give Bud Light Lime a chance several months ago. I love it! Tastes light, refreshing, and crisp to me. Love the lime flavor. Feels summery.
May 16th, 2009 at 12:10 am
Anyone who has every done a stretch in prison will recognize the same awful taste of cheap lime cologne in Lime Bud Lite. As has been said, the lime overpowers the weak beer. At $6.49 for a sixer, stick to a good Mexican beer with a real lime. Sorry Bud, this one’s a Dud!
May 31st, 2009 at 6:11 pm
Tastes like sprite. so good
June 4th, 2009 at 4:47 pm
Well lots of us over here in Alberta…Canada love it……Alberta has been sold out of it for over a week now. I love the lime taste in it…..just like I really like my Coronas to have a stronger lime taste too….but places that serve it give such small pieces of lime it’s a waste of time……as for the alcohol content….Canadian beer has always been stronger than most in the US sure we have out light beers too they are at 4.5%, there are also some “more leaded” options much the same as the US….it’s simply about choice and taste…..so send it on over…..the lesser alcohol content allows us to enjoy more if I was out to get plastered a nice bottle of Crown Royal ought to do more than enough damage…..the price is a little disappointing though….we pay about $27 – $30 for a case of 12………..
June 6th, 2009 at 3:49 pm
Being a Bud light kinda girl, i heard about BLL and decided to try it… I LOVEEE ITT. Its my new favorite beer
June 9th, 2009 at 3:18 pm
I really like Bud Light Lime! I rarely buy anything else. I wasn’t aware that Miller had Chill out before BLL? Never noticed the product until after BLL.
June 12th, 2009 at 1:25 pm
I usually don’t drink beer, and if I do, I don’t finish it. But BUD LIGHT LIME has changed everything. I drink it because it’s good, only 116 calories, and — did I say? IT’S GOOD! Refreshing, simple, fun. I even order it when I’m at the local Mexican restaurant. It’s a wonderful compliement to spicy food. And it’s a wonderful compliment to thirst. IT’S GOOD!
June 18th, 2009 at 4:30 pm
This beer rocks!!!!!!!!!
July 6th, 2009 at 11:26 pm
Bud light lime is ok if you don’t like tasting beer. The difference between BLL and corona with lime is that corona with lime taste like a good beer with lime instead of a crappy beer with lime to cover it up.
July 9th, 2009 at 8:01 pm
I view myself as a purist–the idea of mixing lime or fruit with beer really turned me off. But I tried my first BLL last week and was amazed. This is the MOST refreshing and fun drink–beer or otherwise—I can think of. And it just puts me in a great mood. Like a vacation in a bottle!
July 13th, 2009 at 6:24 pm
Wow! F@#K Bud Light Lime!… and Bud Light, and Miller Chill. Start drinking REAL BEER people! I’m not hating (just BLL)… try a Red Stripe, Killkenny even Becks if you want a refreshing good beer! Peace.
…chickas may drink BLL and call it beer… but THATS IT!
July 14th, 2009 at 1:45 pm
What can I say.The Bud Light Lime in southern Ontario has been sold out as soon as it hits the shelves.Finally just today I have been able to acquire the last 6 pack in cans from an LCBO. I am not a beer drinker whatsoever but when I tried this beer it was smooth and I didnt seem to get an after taste like I normally do with other beers.I have tasted Corona and didnt like it.Bud Light Lime is on my lists as a must have in my fridge.Now if I can only beat the mad rush to the stores when it comes in stock.
July 16th, 2009 at 8:20 pm
I am not a beer drinker. But when i tasted Bud light with lime, well let me tell you, i enjoy drinking beer now. But there is a problem. I can not get it. It has been over a month now. I live up north and we just can not seem to get enough. The beer stores, liquor stores get a few cases in. And than it is gone. I have not been able to have any in over a month. Can someone at your company please explain this to me. Why when something finally i like come in. and there is never enough.
July 18th, 2009 at 12:13 am
I Like the budweiser taste, but when the lime came out i just became in love with it. It has kick to it. Finally in my local store I got the 24oz can instead buying the 6 pack or more.
July 20th, 2009 at 4:43 pm
My son and his girlfriend came for a visit and they brought some Bud Light Lime with them. My husband does not like or drink ber at all, but he really enjoyed this. As for me I, enjoy any beer as long as it is cold. I will definately get some more, but the store is currently out of it (darn).
July 21st, 2009 at 6:58 pm
I agree with the review….the lime is overpowering… However, I dont think it taste like sprite or 7up..since I like sprite and 7up…it really taste more like bitter beer someone tried to “feshen-up” with a lime…(remember those old “bitter beer” commercials?)…yeah…this is it.
July 30th, 2009 at 6:34 pm
Im gonna stick to corona with limes, Bud Light lime does not taste like beer, more like a lime cooler
August 8th, 2009 at 10:19 pm
Love the lime taste of Bud Light Lime.
August 19th, 2009 at 4:02 pm
I love bud light lime. I’ve always loved beer, but ever since I tried bud light lime, I can’t drink anything else. It is by far my favorite beer ever!
September 1st, 2009 at 9:01 pm
So many very poor responses to this review. I thought it was pretty much spot on. While not hitting many of the “technical notes” regarding beer, it was a relevant description of what this beer is. More of an opinion than a review, I think. It doesn’t taste like beer. It tastes like some kind of lime flavored soda that gets you buzzed if you drink enough of it. It is, however, a good, refreshing beer for sitting around on the patio with friends if you don’t want to get trashed.
I’ve been in the computer industry for a very long time. One of the things that we absolutely despise is the “elitist mentality”. Some of these reviews are exactly that. This isn’t a beer for “women” or “chickas”. Jason, you’re an idiot. In a very literal and complete sense of the term.
This is a beer for people who like the taste of this beer. This is a beer that I would drink with certain foods because it compliments those foods, or because I’m in the mood for it in certain situations. The rest of the beer/wine world is coming to grips with the fact that there’s no perfect pairing or no “man drink” or “woman drink”. Let’s say the two of us were sitting at the bar and you were drinking a “Jack and Coke”, because that’s what men drink, and I was drinking a “Sex on the Beach” because I was in the mood for watermelon. Let’s say you made some idiotic comment about my “girlie drink”. I’d let it go, sure. After I had five or six of them, I’d be very likely to break your face with the nearest ashtray. Sure, it’s a “girl drink”, but it has enough alcohol to make me want hurt you for being a blithering drunk.
Here’s what it boils down to. This isn’t the most horrible beer I’ve ever had. Not the best, but not the worst. It’s by no means a “chicka beer” because that’s an ignorant and stupid tag to apply to something.
If you like it, drink it. If you don’t, don’t drink it. If you’re not sure, buy a six-pack to share with friends at a cookout before you commit. I don’t understand why we have to be small about other peoples’ tastes.
September 1st, 2009 at 9:25 pm
@Joe, thanks for the thoughtful reply! Yep, we try not to get too snobby with our reviews – the site it about the beers we try, and our thoughts on them – good or bad. Lots of people disagree with Liz’s review (as the sales of this product seem to show) and that’s cool, but everyone agreed on everything this would be a rather boring world! Hope to hear from you in the future!

She is right on in my opinion. It taste like beer mixed with lime cool aid and it is weak. Beer is supposed to taste like beer.
September 23rd, 2009 at 11:10 pm
I don’t get it. This beer tastes like f-ing lemon pledge, and smells like it too. My girlfriend ordered it at Fudruckers while I ordered a Fat Tire. She took one sip and had a repulsed look on her face, so naturally I had to try. Absolutely terrible. I took 2 sips and went straight back to the fat tire. It felt like I cheated on a beauty queen with a homeless crack addict. Fortunately, the fat tire did not judge me and welcomed me back with delicious open arms.
F- this beer. So hard.
September 23rd, 2009 at 11:48 pm
Nick, please…don’t hold back! Let us know what you really think of the Bud Light Lime! Seriously, thanks for sharing and good call on the Fat Tire!

Interesting to see over a year later this review is still getting comments! Looks like Liz struck a nerve! Swill, that is all I can say…oh and Liz should be kicked out of the club for admitting she drinks Bud Light.

Don, you’ll see that Liz has some odd taste. But in her credit she also picked out Maudite, Pride Old Ale, and everyone’s favorite – Wild Blue! She’s been on probationary status from the beginning, but we just can’t seem to get rid of her! (She’s also a Jets fan, so you know she’s pick the wrong teams too!)

I just drank a couple of these and I can see why some say the lime too strong and some to light. First off anyone that gets a taste like sprite or 7up must have wrecked taste buds. Second I love drinking micheladas deep in mexico, micheladas are your choice of beer in a glass with the juice of one lime and salt around the rim like a margarita. Those of us that love these will think the lime in the bl’s is very light, my wife from mexico said she can barely taste the lime and I agree. Those used to the us and border tourist version of a lime wedge in the throat of the bottle are used to a VERY light lime wedge. So not everyone will like it, we will stick to mexican beer micheladas. Here bud lime is about the same price as mexican beer anyway, a buck and a half more than regular bl.

I forgot to add, to me the taste of bl is too weak for lime. With a good mexican beer you can still taste the beer well even with a whole lime (as is traditional) but bl taste just can’t keep up. I’m not insulting those that like it, just my honest opinion and tastes. Honestly I can’t find a us beer that tastes good with lime, wish I could for the price. Mexican beers just seem to be made for lime.

Good review Liz, right on the money. Laughed at the calorie count as well. Could tell the review was written by a female, most guys could give a rats a_ _ about the calorie intake of the beer, very cute to include that anyway.

I personally love bud lite lime. It has a nice hint of lime and it doesn’t get me bloated. There are some beers that you add lime that does this to me. Last Summer it was $2 cheaper a case and now paying $2 more is a bit scary. Does this mean that every year it will increase every year, ugh.

Jannett, who knows! Unfortunately the price of the ingredients that go into beer sometimes go way up, and so the cost is passed along to you. A couple of years ago, the price of hops was much higher than usual because as I recall there was a shortage of hops that year. Not sure what the cause of this particular increase is though. Cheers!

Budweiser sales have been down this year so the price is going up. The price of ingredients don’t really come into play here because there barely any ingredients at all. The use of adjuncts keep the cost down to begin with.

The best light beer with a twist we ever tried. My husband & I really enjoy the light crisp taste, a great thirst quencher on a hot summer day!!

I don’t like flavoured beer too.
