Always enjoy when you fellows get together for these entertaining reviews. Life is too short for Busch light beer

[@ronaldtheriot]

Thanks, Claude, and I've been enjoying my cans of Busch Light.

@David, holy! That was amazing. Jay, I look forward to a natural vs busch light blind test one day.

[@ronaldtheriot]

I might do that, Joe.

[@TunaJoeTV]

@ronaldtheriot , that would be awesome

I am admittedly a light weight beer drinker who is starting to "venture", but I did buy a 30 pack of Busch Light because of the price and a rebate I got. I really liked it, fits my current profile...very drinkable/smooth. I also tried Natural Light and probably prefer the Busch Light. Have to agree that Miller Lite has a fuller flavor....great job guys!

[@ronaldtheriot]

Thanks for watching, Randy Tolen. I appreciate it! Being a light weight drinker is the best way to go, really.

It’s the quintessential crushable lawnmower beer, it’s goes down well on these brutal hot summer days here in Texas.

[@clevejason]

Guzzle factor is 💯

[@ronaldtheriot]

It sure does. Thanks for watching, Chris Aren. I appreciate it!

[@ronaldtheriot]

It is!

July 31, 2024 taste test --- Busch Light vs Natural Light vs Keystone Light vs Milwaukee's Best Light --- To start off, I have an ignorant pallet...but sometimes the novice makes the most sense. - Busch Light Crisp, zero nose, bubbly carbonation (more than Natty Light) Good Beginning Bite A bit of a pharmacy note in the middle with some slight bitterness At the end it turns to an oily watery finale - Natural Light A little nose, bright, good carbonation, crisp corn beginning No middle, no ending = thin and nothing there = zero finale - Keystone Light Much more head than Busch/Natty but had less carbonation Flavor and body in the middle that lasts Weak ending that falls off with flat/dull hop taste - Milwaukee's Best Light Much more head than Busch/Natty but had less carbonation Has a little nose but no brightness or bite Middle was a dull pharmacy type bitterness Clean zero flavor ending In the end, I absolutely loved the Natty beginning, but... My picks in order are: 1) Keystone Light 2) Milwaukee's Best Light 3) Natural Light 4) Busch Light

[@ronaldtheriot]

Thanks for the report!

[@paulvh84]

Man, David’s on point in this video. Agree with everything he says. Miller Lite is the best and most beer-like of light beers, and Natty Light is more flavorful/better than Busch Light. Discounting price, Miller Lite is number one, then Milwaukee’s Best Light (which isn’t that much of a step down from Lite), then Natty Light, and the rest of the mainstream light beers are skippable, but hey, that’s me. Also, it’d be sweet if you and David did a Miller Lite duo review sometime. Cheers!

[@ronaldtheriot]

Thanks, Paul, and I thought we had done that, but I guess my memory was faulty. Cheers, back to you!

[@yankee4424]

I do know someone that switched from Bud Light to Busch Light. I told that that AB made both products and they were still giving them their money. They told me I was wrong that Budweiser made Bud Light. I just said ok and went on about my business. 🤷‍♂️

[@ronaldtheriot]

Some people aren't the brightest. Thanks for watching, Yankee. I appreciate it!

[@k_gene2816]

Busch light is literally all me my dad and my buddy drinks we have nothing BUSCH LIGHT cans in the garage and you can find some mickeys and king cobras hanging around lol but it’s 17 for a 30 pk here in my area of Oklahoma

[@ronaldtheriot]

Hey, you may as well drink what you enjoy. Thanks for watching, K Gene. I appreciate it!

[@platolomite6112]

In California it’s $19 after tax and you can get your $2 back if you recycle… hard to beat. I defend this beer selection for the value and laugh at the clerks that seem to look down on it along with Keystone and Natty light. Always great reviews.

[@ronaldtheriot]

Thanks, Plato Lomite. I appreciate you watching!@@platolomite6112

[@selfc154]

Always enjoy Busch Light. I think you made the right choice with your purchase myself. It seems like Miller High Life has changed and gotten cheaper made the last few years.

[@ronaldtheriot]

Really? Miller High Life? I'll have to do a revisit. Thanks for watching, Self Cable. I appreciate it!

[@douglasroethlin3839]

While all the light AAL’s are more or less interchangeable - when it comes to AB’s sub premium light offerings, I do prefer Natural Light to this one.

[@ronaldtheriot]

I'm not sure which one I prefer, but Busch Light seems a little sweeter and more flavorful than Natural Light, which I find to be so dry.

[@douglasroethlin3839]

Less residual corn syrup works for me !

[@ericharvey2280]

Another great review! Would love to see the Blind Taste Test between Busch Light and Natural Light!

[@ronaldtheriot]

Thanks, and it's possible, but doubtful that that will happen.

[@rayprevailer8454]

I moved to New Mexico from Minnesota 23 years ago. I have had my share of that near beer in Minnesota. It was the only beer sold in gas stations and grocery stores as it was 3.2 %. I am moving to Northern Wisonsin next spring. I think I can get Grain Belt their. I really liked that beer as it is not sold here. I would say my favorite macro light beer would be Miller Light and Coors Light. My least favorite is Keystone Light and Bud Light. I have not had either for many years. Bush light is good to me when I am hot and sweaty working in the yard and I do not feel like chugging a glass of water.

[@ronaldtheriot]

Thanks for the good comments, Ray Prevailer. We appreciate you watching!

[@UncleBlasto]

To me, Busch Light is the cleanest tasting 30-pack light beer and worth the few extra bucks over Natural Light etc. Full flavor Busch has barely higher carbs than Bud Light, actually. But if you are looking at light beer then you are looking at lower dietary carb intake and that is the audience. I'd rather drink some straight bourbon and four light beers over the course of an evening for the same net carbs as one Miller High Life from an insulin resistance perspective, but I prefer the taste of the Miller. Life is choices and I see it from both perspectives. But I feel the fatty liver/nihilist crowd skews the debate. Alcohol can be used in a healthy way, but modern, concocted sugar spirits and horrid, flavored, hazy 9.5% malt liquor/ales are definitely not healthy to consume in any significant quantity relative to basic Jim Beam and a few light beers and it's not even close. You (and Dave mostly ha-ha) have always maintained your weight in the history of your videos and have the discipline to drink as you please, but certain other reviewers are clearly experiencing various health effects from consuming these modern beverage concoctions and look like human beach balls for lack of a more appropriate term.

[@ronaldtheriot]

I 100% agree with everything you say, here.

[@chrish5018]

I’ve always enjoyed Busch Light. It’s just a simple light beer that you can enjoy with anything. I also liked Busch Light Apple,from last summer,and peach from this summer. Nice video. Cheers.

[@ronaldtheriot]

The Peach was not sold, in Louisiana. Thanks, and cheers back to you, Chris H. I appreciate you watching.

[@chrish5018]

@@ronaldtheriot sorry to hear you didn’t get the peach. It’s pretty good. Not overwhelming or anything where it’s too sweet or cloying. I’m interested to see what fruit they might do next.

[@basja1323]

I've did blind taste challenges between Busch Light and Natty. Wanted Busch Light to win but Natty won three times in a row. So I guess I'm a Natty guy.

[@ronaldtheriot]

Yes, I think so.

[@michaelstevens2359]

Busch Light is good for a cheap light brew. I usually go Milwaukee's best light or Natural Light. Cheers guys 🍻

[@ronaldtheriot]

Yes, Milwaukee's Best Light is my usual one.

[@music_is_life95]

The Bud light brand is slowly diminishing regarding the LQBTQ marketing problems they are currently facing they should of never did that but I like bud light even though I can say it doesn’t taste the same anymore but cheers!

[@ronaldtheriot]

Cheers, back to you!

[@Chaz4543]

I probably wouldn't buy this ever again. If I want a light adjunct lager I can just get Narragansett Light. Its a bit more money than Busch Light but it tastes better and is in 16 oz cans. Btw, when he said "tastes like nothing" he couldnt be more accurate because thats how I feel about all these light beers including Miller Light, Coors Light, Bud Light, etc. Tastes like nothing indeed.

[@ronaldtheriot]

Hey, you know my philosophy- call it, as you see it.

[@damienowens6983]

I mean, I buy Busch Light and Natural Light often. Because of the price and taste. You get more value and flavor over Bud Light Imo. But on the Bud Light Fiasco. They really screwed up. People are tired of the woke BS. They're tired of it being rammed down their throats. That being Gay, Lesbian, Bi, Trans, etc. Is some how better than everyone else. Or, as if its some sort of achievement to be awarded for. I mean, if that's who you are. Fine. Be that. Be you with other consenting adults. Just, stop ramming it down other's throats that you are better than them. Or, that you should be this or that by virtue. I think people realize that Natural Light, Busch Light, and Mich Ultra are made by AB-InBev. But, where the company is so compartmentalized. There's a team for each of those brands. The others realized maybe we could do the same but, it wouldn't work out well. Or, it'd just be a dumb idea from the get-go and, not to fool with that non-sense. That's part of freedom. You can do what you want but, be prepared to suffer the consequences of a dumb and stupid decision. I just won't buy Bud Light because, its over priced and over rated. How it got to #1 in the first place. I have no idea. There's legit arguments to be made for the others as to why they should be #1. But, that's a whole different argument. I really like Busch Light. After a long and hard day in hot and humid heat. To have alone or with a pair of some sort it works out well. Not to mention the price. Cheers!

[@ronaldtheriot]

I've been enjoying this Busch Light 30pack. Cheers, back to you!
