Bud Light Lime-a-rita. A first taste....

[al2n]

Was at the store without much spare cash. Have not had a beer in over a month and was in the mood.

Everything in my price range I have tried and was pretty unimpressive or downright crappy. Then I see it- on special is a 24oz. can of Bud Light Lime-a-Rita! I had just enough cash in my pocket to give this thing a try, so against my better judgement I bought a can and went home with my new found prize.

Upon opening, I was met with the delightful aroma of lime kool-aid with what can best be described as rancid butter. I brought the can to my lips and gave it a nice long chug.....

Overall, it is not too bad! At first. Nice lime flavor followed by a sweet and tangy sensation. Then the rest of the flavor hits me. Without a doubt it is Bud. Pure, crappy, rice filler filled, corn sugar fermented swill that has fed many a redneck for generations. I wondered why anyone would do something like this to such a nasty brew. I mean, trying to hide it beneath lime kool-aid is a grand idea, but it simply did not work!

Then I take a closer look at the label......8% alcohol. Ah, THAT'S why they made this stuff. It is meant to get you snockered for under 10 bucks! Who cares about flavor and body when you can't feel your lips after half a can!

Think next time I will save up my money and buy some real beer flavored beverage.

I let my daughter try some and sure enough...she loves it! Poor creature has not appreciation for a real alcoholic beverage. I will have to remedy this one of these days.

In the early 90s I worked at a stained glass shop that was in a neighborhood where yuppies were buying up house right next to crack neighborhoods. There was one grocery store located next to a drug store in a small strip mall with a health clinic and a Chinese restaurant on the end. Often at the end of the day, one of us would walk across the street and get a 6 or 2 of just some average beer, sometimes nice beer. One day at the drug store I noticed something that I thought was unusual. Mickey's Malt likker 22oz STINGER. What was unusual about it? It was a MENTHOL beer.
Several weeks go by and I still see these "Stingers" in the drug store cooler and what can I say? My curiosity got the best of me. I bought one. I take it back to the shop and pop the cap. OK, smelled like regular malt liquor crap and menthol. Not necessarily unappealing but different. I took a sip, EWWW! So I think, "I'm not going to waste beer." I take another sip, a little bigger than the last one. NO! NO! NO! This stuff was just yuck!~
I called everyone into the kitchen and asked them if they wanted to taste this nasty menthol beer and there were no takers. So I said, "OK, watch this." I wanted everyone to witness me ... pouring beer down the drain.

Bud Light Lime-a-rita.
I think they're trying to cash in on the old Champale (http://youtu.be/XrFSxJxf2V0) market but not quite getting it right. Either that or it's a redneck version of Champale. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Champale)

Have you forgotten Fred Sanford who invented the Watts This pale red fizzy ass kicker? Eh, that's if you want an exotic name for half Champale and half Ripple, Champipplie. Then there was a west coast drink with a New York radio station named after it, WPLJ, white port and lemon juice (ooh what it do to you). As for beer, leave it beer for crying out loud! Eh, do what you want with Bud, it's not beer and lives up to the name for cheap crap, about as close to panther piss as you can get. Well, that's what I thought until somebody gave me a can (Beer in cans? YUCH!!!) of Sam Adams Boston Lager, now I know what dirt tastes like.

Cisco Coolers! 20% ABV. A 12 ouncer would put you flat on your ASS!

As pictured to the left, look for the pigeon feces and you'll find this old bird. As soon as you taste this swill, it will be obvious that its makers cut every corner possible in its production to make it cheap. Self-proclaimed as "The American Classic," Thuderbird is Vinted and bottled by E&J Gallo Winery (http://www.gallo.com/), (http://www.bumwine.com/sun/) in in Modesto, CA. Disguised like Night Train, the label says that it is made by "Thunderbird, Ltd." If your taste buds are shot, and you need to get trashed with a quickness, then "T-bird" is the drink for you. Or, if you like to smell your hand after pumping gas, look no further than Thunderbird. As you drink on, the bird soars higher while you sink lower. The undisputed leader of the five in foulness of flavor, we highly discourage driking this ghastly mixture of unknown chemicals unless you really are a bum. A convenience store clerk in Show Low, AZ once told me that only the oldest of stumbling indian drunks from the reservation buy Thunderbird. Avaliable in 750 mL and a devastating 50 oz jug.

The history of Thunderbird is as interesting as the drunken effects the one experiences from the wine. When Prohibition ended, Ernest Gallo and his brothers Julio and Joe wanted to corner the young wine market. Earnest wanted the company to become "the Campbell Soup company of the wine industry" so he started selling Thunderbird in the ghettos around the country. Their radio adds featured a song that sang, "What's the word? / Thunderbird / How's it sold? / Good and cold / What's the jive? / Bird's alive / What's the price? / Thirty twice." It is said that Ernest once drove through a tough, inner city neighborhood and pulled over when he saw a bum. When Gallo rolled down his window and called out, "What's the word?" the immediate answer from the bum was, "Thunderbird."

WARNING: This light yellow liquid turns your lips and mouth black! A mysterious chemical reaction similar to disappearing-reappearing ink makes you look like you've been chewing on hearty clumps of charcoal.

Pruno, when will vomit flavored wine cooler be produced commercially? http://www.blacktable.com/gillin030901.htm

A roommate and I bought a case of Night Train one afternoon and ultimately discovered that it's actually named for the sound roaring through your head the next morning.
