Budweiser beer

There is a veritable pantheon of domestic brewery powerhouses in the United States. None more so than Anheuser Busch. But among the plethora of beers produced by this corporate suds supplier there is only one I will mention here. Budweiser.



For years, this beer has been a favorite go-to thirst quencher. But why?

Perhaps it's the mild malty taste with a relatively clean finish. Or maybe it's the beer we saw our fathers favor.

But in this beer drinker's opinion it's simply mediocre.

There is nothing special about Budweiser's taste. It has no distinct flavor, the color is less than impressive and its finish, while relatively clean, sometimes leaves the drinker to wonder if what he imbibed was actually beer.

But when compared to Miller's odd fruity aftertaste, Coors' zeal for carbonation or the exquisitely horrid head of a Schlitz, Budweiser is simply the best of the worst.
