It is a light yellow in color and crystal clear with a nice, white head that came up an inch or so then dissipated rather quickly.
Drinkability  I enjoy a good Light Lager, but this just didnt cut it. It wasnt refreshing, it had a long sweet finish, and the sugars were on par if not bigger than the malts.RoyalT, Mar 01, 20051.75/5 rDev -13.8%tohe9384, Sep 11, 20122.1/5 rDev +3.4%Bud Select huh... lets see. 4.3% alcohol huh?P- Brown bottle like most Bud products. Red crown "Budweiser Select" emblems on bottle. Born on date May 22,2009. ( Close on the Date )A- Pours a typical american light beer look with the straw light yellow look and mild tight bubbly head that falls to a small ring. Leaves little lacing.S- Smell is of mild grains with maybe a little malt.T- Bland mixes of artifical sweetness with hints of metallic notes followed by very light malts.M- Smooth with a thin watery feel.D- Drinkable for situation where drinking alot is the main idea.Note: To me this is a Bud Light mixed with regular Bud. But hey Full flavor only 99 calories!wesbrownyeah, Sep 04, 20091/5 rDev -50.7%tbryan5, Jan 05, 20131.75/5 rDev -13.8%MikeC144, Apr 09, 20142.3/5 rDev +13.3%I have this beer from a 10 oz. can , i serve it in a mug it was very cold. The appearence is a light gold color and it has a foamy white head.The smell is hard to find and when you find it is nothing to be impress about. It have a very light light taste ( a lot of carbonation) , it feels good in the mouth, like refresh. This is just another "regular" beer.BeerDreadz, May 28, 20072.33/5 rDev +14.8%I fail to see what is "select" about bedweiser select. This beer is quite tasteless. It does have a bit more taste than bud light or michelob ultra, but it isnt much more noticeable. this is a drinkable beer if you want water but for taste stay far away from this.twi1609372, Apr 15, 20052.33/5 rDev +14.8%There is not much to say or taste here. It pours very light yellow. The body is very clean and clear with lively carbonation that forms a thick white head. The aroma is light, mostly of rice and hay. There is not a bit of hops anywhere. The flavor is also very light. Mostly of rice, paper and hay, that leads you to a crisp clean finish. Overall its low carbohydrate, low calories and low on flavor.generallee, Apr 15, 20082.75/5 rDev +35.5%ValpoExpo, Jun 16, 20131.05/5 rDev -48.3%I don't want to be offensive, but this is probably the worst ber I have ever had. Appearance - Looks like very carbonated light golden lager with zero head retention. The head is more along the lines of soda, as well as the carbonation.
Fin.Doomcifer, Oct 21, 20062/5 rDev -1.5%iemailjack, Dec 09, 20111.73/5 rDev -14.8%Presentation: 12 oz brown bottle with a stuck-on plastic film label, Born On Date on the back label for freshness. Appearance: Very pale yellow straw, perfect clarity with a thin stark-white lace on top.
Why? This beer was probably created to chip away at the macro-lager market. I am sure they are looking to grab more of the market even if it mildly cannibalizes some of their own brands.Jason, Feb 26, 20051.65/5 rDev -18.7%12 oz bottle that I picked up while looking for a PBR. Attractive packaging is the highlight here, as the label has some eyecatching appeal and the cap reminds me of a Rogue bottlecap. "Born on date" assures me that I'm drinking me a very fresh beer. Those are the highlights.
Mouthfeel: Very watery and light bodied with high carbonation. Taste: Crisp carbonation, with a hint of adjunct malt sweetness and faint bittering and aromatic hops. Clean and crisp, with no offnotes. A suggestion of corn syrup emerges as it warms, so if you're going to drink this drink it cold. Drinkability: This is a standard, American macro light lager that has little to offer a serious beerdrinker. Crisp and refreshing, with no offnotes, but very bland and watery. A decent fizzy light yellow beer that is brewed for the masses who are not seeking any nuances or complexity. Easy to quaff, but so is soda water.merlin48, May 04, 20051.78/5 rDev -12.3%12 ouncer sampled. Born on dating. Pours very light straw, nose is non existant. Taste is ultra thin, Body is watery This is worthless swill. More wasting of decent water by AB. The best feature of this product is the "born on dating " concept. I wish many other brewery case us Beer drinkers that kind of usefull info. Pass this stuff by, support Micro brewers.Billolick, Mar 05, 20052/5 rDev -1.5%tmoreau713, Jan 31, 20132.25/5 rDev +10.8%About the best thing that can be said about this beer is that it's relatively Atkins- friendly, being a low-carb beer. It definitely was nothing to write home about, having an extremely bland flavor and lack of character. While making a low-carb beer may be an admirable goal, it seems to me that real beer lovers would prefer one with more carbs, albeit flavor and character.animal, Apr 06, 20052.1/5 rDev +3.4%Pours a pale straw color with a decent head that dissipates and leaves a spotty lacing. Smell is of cream corn maybe, yeast, alcohol, it just doesn't smell the least bit enticing. Taste is better than smell, but that isn't saying much, very bland flavor, it has a corn flavor, but it's very watery. Mouthfeel is very light, I would rate it higher but the carbonation is way too high. Honestly it's pretty easy to drink, it's not necessarily bad, but it just isn't that good either.badbeer, Jan 18, 20062.8/5 rDev +37.9%Well, as some people on here have said, I hate Bud Light. I think it has a sharp, unpleasant taste that continues to astonish me as to how people drink it so often. Budweiser is decent but far from the top. That being said, Bud Select is a pretty decent brew that I have no trouble drinking. Of course, 2.25 for a 25 oz mug here at a bar in Plantation, FL (Landlubber's Raw Bar for all you Broward folks who may read this) helps , but regardless it is something I'm having an easier time tolerating than I was expecting. The foamy head is actually pretty impressive, although it's a 25 ouncer not a pint but still. The taste is a tolerable mix of corn, hops and carbonation but not an overpowering sharpness that I get from Bud Light. It seems to me that Bud Select is very unappreciated among the beer buyers because although this isn't top of the line, it certainly beats out BL and honestly I'd rather have this than Budweiser also.SDbeerguy, Mar 23, 20101.88/5 rDev -7.4%Tried one of these. I honestly think there is more taste in bud light! Poured slightly more golden than bud light. Small head. Smells of something. Taste is really just nothing , honestly. It is chuggable though. More so than Bud light Not hard to get down or anything , i just wouldn't buy it.Byeast, Feb 23, 20061.68/5 rDev -17.2%Despite my usually good sense of judgement, the post-D-league softball consumption of this "beer" still occurred. I intend to atone for my transgressions by drinking something good tonight. But when the choices were Bud "Select" and IC Light, you can understand the predicament in which I founf myself.
Color is that of extremely diluted urine: barely any color and clear. Only a barely noted fizzy white head is seen. Aromas, again, are brealy noted. Is that some corny-husky scent I detect? Flavor is like fizzy water. It amazes me that people actually find this to be a beer they WANT to drink. The fizz overpowers anything in the way of "flavor". Some grain-like flavor. Husky. Finishes without a trace of any aftertaste whatsoever. It's like it evaporates on the palate. Mouthfeel is laughable. Not drinkable, to say the least.OldFrothingSlosh, Jun 27, 20051.43/5 rDev -29.6%Serving glass: Poured from bottle into Pint glass.Appearance: Very pale and almost has an artificial neon glow. Almost no head.Smell: Sweet, sickly grains.Taste: Not much. A little bit of of sweet apple when cold. Starts tasting like metal as it warms.Feel: Extremely high carbonation with almost no body.Drinkability: Overall, it seems like carbonated water that has gone bad. On the plus side, I guess it is drinkable.bsp77, Apr 23, 20102.1/5 rDev +3.4%Unlike some others on this site, I'm not above drinking an Anheuser-Busch product from time to time. I'm also not below trashing their products. But come on, if you're going to call yourself "Select," at least taste like something other than Bud Light. It pours clear yellow with the tell-tale foamy white head. More corn and sugar in the nose, but with a bit of metal (even though this came out of a bottle). Taste is sugar-water mixed with rice Chex. Excuse me while I burp again from the carbonation.magictrokini, Dec 04, 20082.25/5 rDev +10.8%standardcherry, May 20, 2012
