Bud Light Platinum : It tastes like Beer Mixed with Communion Wine

I recently had a chance to taste the new Bud Light Platinum. I first saw the Beer advertised on a commercial during the super bowl. The purplish color of the bottle got my attention.

So last Friday night I gave it a try. I'm not one to like normal beers, because while some beers taste a little lighter a little smoother, as a whole I think a lot of beers taste the same. It's hard to find a beer that tastes like something all it's own. Case and point, I bought a variety pack at the local liquor store. it was a case of 6 different beers I had never had. Sadly all 6 while having different names all tasted similar to each other or to something I've already had before.

So enter Bud Light Platinum. When I first tried it it was very different than anything I had tasted. As I swallowed it, I got a certain taste my mouth that had me stumped for the longest time. I sat there examining each swig wonder what that taste was that I was tasting.

I finally came to the conclusion that this beer tastes like beer mixed with communion wine. Which because it tastes different than other beers, is not a bad thing, I like different.

I'm tempted to go on Amazon.com order a 1000 communion wafers for $18, then eat them while drinking this beer.

Who's with me!?

Wine doesn't have an "H" in it.. Sorry. I just had to point that out.

I do not know how Bud Light can be made to taste any better. It tastes like water + urine.

As for my opinion of the beer, i'm a person that LOVES dark beer. I love The Fireside nut brown, amberbrock, fat tire, sam adams winter, boulevard wheat.

Bud Light and beer in the same sentence? Oxymoron alert.

^ Yup.

Also no matter what they do to it, it will still taste like nasty water.

Pshhhht... Bud/Miller/Busch are what poor college kids drink (speaking from experience).
Bud has always been a beer I could never force myself to drink, even if I'm smashed. It just tastes skunky and wrong.
I think all they did with this "platinum" flavor is boost up the alc content by dumping in some booze at the end of fermentation. Hence why it tastes like that.

Real men drink Micro-brews and Imports. Preferably from the tap.
