I no longer consume Alcohol, so your homework is as follows:

A) Drink This
2) Record your thoughts of it
D) Report these thoughts back to me

I am a Busch Light and apple juice fan. However, the last time I tried a fruit flavored beer, it was the raspberry-lime Keystone Light, and I'm still gagging. Give me a few weeks.

I have actually. I've always been a fan of the Limes, so I had to give the orange and lemon a try.

I did not attend UVA so I am not qualified to discuss the merits of fruity flavored water

I can imagine no more rewarding a career. And any man who may be asked in this century what he did to make his life worthwhile, I think can respond with a good deal of pride and satisfaction:

so, basically LaCroix didn't want to damage their brand by releasing this and having it flop so they had Busch put their label on it?

I actually work at Anhueser Busch and have run this beer. Pretty good and refreshing especially on a hot day! But if you dont like fruity stuff then maybe not for you.

I know there exists a Bud Light Apple in Canada and maybe parts of the US. I would have to imagine this is basically the same thing.

Ice Cold I imagine this is pretty good. Once it starts getting warm, you better slug it or give up. Much like regular Busch Light.

I love a good nap. Sometimes that's all that's getting me out of bed in the morning.

I think the world needs Natty Ice Apple.

Clamato juice. That's right. Clam and tomato mixed together, and you drink it. And I say, YOU F'N DRINK IT. Because I can't think of a more disgusting combination of joice. Who the hell was drinking tomato juice and said "man, that is nice, but let's put some fish in there." Hey, want some Clamato? No thank you. I just had a glass of Flounder-Apple, but thanks for the invite, you sick bastard.- Richard Jeni

There is Beefamato as well.

Not going to lie though - my guilty pleasure is a beer and Clamato michelada with some pickled jalapenos, sharp cheddar cheese, scallions, and saltine crackers. Also pairs well with oysters/clams.

I don't think I will have an adequate sample size to draw any conclusions with one. Thus, a 30 rack is the only acceptable way to consume Busch and get accurate results.

Since it's Busch, that means a case is $4, right?

A decade on TKP and it's been time well spent.

There is a 12 pack in my fridge waiting for someone to drink it and tell me how it is.

Devil's Backbone 12 pack, variety pack of fruity beers was surprisingly very good. They have apricot, peach mango, smoothie style (this one was shockingly good, like cream soda but drunk), and sour fruit.

Found it at Publix on Friday. Hull St, southside RVA.

I shuttered just reading the title of the post. I am imagining a sweeter faster way to be hungover.

Plan for the worst and hope for the best, not the other way around.

I now have it on good authority that these are not bad at all.

Somehow I neglected to follow your instructions. My apologies.

I will summarize my thoughts thusly. If I had to pick only two beers to drink for the rest of my life, I'd pick Busch Light and Busch Light Apple. Are they the best beers I've had? Nope, not even close. But are they the best choice for me for the type of beer I'm looking for when I'm looking to drink beer? Yep.

I went through the IPA and then the "craft beer only no matter the style" crazes, but at the end of the day, a beer that's light, crisp, and cheap as hell fits the bill just fine for me. I don't have time in my life nor the attention span to be a beer snob.

The Apple tastes like a Busch Light with a bit of apple juice mixed in. It's not super sweet like some hard ciders. I really like it. Others will probably disagree, but they're wrong...

Sadly, the Apple is no longer available this year. I'm saving the 5 cases remaining of the 6 we bought for deer camp.

wildturkey84's picture wildturkey84 | 5 years 11 months # ^

Update: Food Lion on North main had 8 cases today. We bought them all. No regerts...

wasknick's picture wasknick | 5 years 11 months # ^

I obviously haven't tasted on but they sure do smell good. Everyone I know that has had one said they liked it, even those who don't like Busch Light.

I know where he lives. I'll sell the address to the highest bidder. You can all raid his stash of this vile potion.

It could be good, I just can't drink it. I don't react well to their products.
