Name:  Bud Lime – Apple-ahhh-rita
Sampled April 2017

Brand: Bud Light Lime (Anheuser-Busch) Type: Apple Strong Beer Location of Brewing: USA ABV: 6.0% Website Link: Ingredients: Beer, Apple Margarita Flavour (Water, Glucose-Fructose, Natural and artificial Flavours, Malic Acid, Sodium Citrate). Caramel Colour. Gluten Free: No Sugar Content: 6g/100mlSize(s) available: 236ml Can Availability: Beer Store Flavour: Apple Colour: Rust Carbonation: Big bubbles, medium carbonation.

Cider Crate Tasting Notes:
Smell: Strong, extra sweet fleshy apple like a red delicious.
Initial Taste: Medium bite, semi-thick texture, strong apple taste
After Taste: Long lasting sweet apple finish, almost like you ate the peel of an apple.
On ice: Less sweet, less flavour but with more carbonation.

Additional Notes:  As with most of the Bud Lime series of strong beers, this is a sweet alternative to a beer.  It tastes more like a cider then a beer, but has an obvious beer base.  Extra sweet, fans of a traditional cider would find this extra sugary and very commercial.
