First Taste of Bud Light Platinum - KegWorks

Two KegWorks beer geeks taste Bud Light Platinum for the first time - two weeks before it is set to be released, without knowing what it is. Read more about the 6% ABV beer and this little experiment here: http://www.kegworks.com/blog/2012/01/11/an-unbiased-first-taste-of-bud-light-...

Justin before knowing what beer it was "I think I can drink a fair amount of this"

Justin after "It's OK for a lawnmower in your yard, but not mine"

You need new beer tasters!!

Typical beer snob. His fat ass obviously liked it. Why not just accept the fact that it's drinkable? Obviously not the best. But it's decent.

This beer to me is not that different from reg bud light but there somethin about the taste that leads me to believe they are adding distilled grain alcohol to the beer to make it jump from 4.2% to 6% ABV...i wouldnt go out of my way to buy this but if its the only thing im not gonna cry about it

I just bought some of this and looked it up, because I wasn't sure it was beer. Tasted like Zima or something. Watery, sweet, and I didn't like it. I usually drink a bud, bud light, or carona. If you like your beer to taste like beer, I would avoid this one.

You stole the words right out of my mouth. I hate this whole Beer Advocate / Cicerone age of so-called "beer geeks."

"Yeah... uh... blahblahblah mouthfeel... light... uh, hops... uh, german blahblah... hops... mouthfeel..."

How are you guys experts? You're just repeating the most popular words on beeradvocate.

And this beer is anything but drinkable haha

The guy on the left just can't admit Bud Light Platinum is good. I mean he said good things about it, until he found out what it was. Does not make sense. I think Bud Light Platinum is very good and better than Bud Light. Nice taste and smooth for a beer with 6% alcohol. Got a 6 pack for $7.99. Gonna try to find the 12 packs. Definitely gonna be a hit.

Funny how they like it and could drink a "fair amount" of it, but later they would only drink it if put in front of them, and wouldn't go out of their way. Gotta love critics.

There is beer you drink and beer you sip....These fat asses don't know beer from spit. They probably lift their pinky when they start their lawnmowers.
