Bud Select 55 Gets Reviewed
Posted on Thursday, September 3, 2009 in Beer
Bud Select 55 continues to make waves across the country. And while we here at Drink Update think the low-calorie craze is another disturbing trend for beer, we understand why people are attracted to the watery fizz. Because Select 55 is only available in some test markets, I haven’t had the chance to try it myself.
But we have review from our friends at Hoperatives:
If Perrier and Bud Light had a baby, you would have SELECT 55. This new Super Ultra Light American Style Lager has not only taken calories to a new low aroma, appearance, and taste have also suffered the same fate. What you end up with is barely yellow, highly carbonated, lightly malty, white bread scented beer with a finish that elicits memories of those times when the soda fountain runs out of syrup. “Excuse me, sir. . . I think your beer tap is out of syrup. All I’m getting is carbonated beer flavored water”.
It was unremarkable in a very well rounded kind of way. The normal rating system I use to review beer would fail this beer before I even made it to the overall impression category, however I’m not going to fail it. I’m going to give it a D- and recognize that there is a niche of people who want a beer but don’t want calories, taste, or perhaps just want to drink a nice ultra light fizzy beer after they finish a 5K.

This year I'm going a little overboard with the NFL. I totally have the bug.
I captured this pictures in July in Yankton. It's the Pizza Hut guy patiently waiting for the Subway manager to come get his food. Subway makes pizzas at this location, by the way.
I love gin. While vodka's goal is to be colorless, odorless and tasteless, gin is infused will all kinds of botanicals and flavors to make you're drinking less boring. Plus gin usually clocks in between 88 and 95 proof, compared with vodka at 80 proof.
Hendrick's Gin is a little harder to find and a little more expensive, but it's well worth the search. Made in Scotland, it clocks in at 88 proof. And wile it has the usual botanical infusions of juniper, coriander and citrus peel, what makes Hendrick's so unique is the addition of cucumber and rose petals. Find a bottle today! It will probably cost you about $30 for a 750ml bottle.
