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.
