Bud Light Platinum
Bud Light Platinum has reinvented the category of light beer. Within each cobalt blue bottle lies a bold formula that’s triple filtered with a smooth finish to create its stop shelf taste. Its the first of its kind, and the only beer worthy of the name Bud Light Platinum.

Finally found a good beer with a decent alcohol content that tastes good. Too many craft beers out there that I am tired of testing just to pour down the drain.
Very smooth with a great taste. The buzz is there, but be careful, it goes down so comfortably, drinking more than usual will happen.
Lots of people dislike this and I was very pleasently surprised when the 1 year old bottle in the fridge went down as smooth as it did ... I definitely will be picking up a 6-pack next trip to HEB
Mild corn aroma. Clear light yellow color with a medium white head. Very little flavor in the beginning that fades to nothing in the finish.
Ah yeah man this is a great craft beer right here. You can tell they took their time to make this one. It has notes of hops with a slight beer taste to it. Great craft brew man
$1.49 bottle from Total Wine - Gainesville VA. Cool blue bottle - hope the label peels off easily. Clear very pale golden with a dusting of a head. Skunky aroma noticeable as soon as I unscrew the cap. Skunk, trash water, cereal. Flavor is cardboard, envelope glue, mineral water, grain. Thin as hell. I'm not going to finish this - I thought I would. It's worse than I imagined.
12 oz. bottle pours a clear golden color with small white head that disappears quickly without a trace of lacing. Aroma is grainy and sweet with some corn: its like they took a cheap malt liquor and filtered out anything that the company board thought might be offensive to someone. Taste is both slightly sweet and slightly bitter. Body is light, of course, without much carbonation. The best thing I can say about this one is that it came to me free of charge at a SuperBowl party at my house.
It’s the only “light” beer by any monopoly beer company. If it’s on sale and you have a party to go to. Grab it!
Another great treat from Craig pours out a crisp pale straw topped with a white head. Nose is sweet corn grain and that's it. Taste is more of the sweet corn grain notes and some sadness.
Honestly, never thought I would find a Bud I liked. Platinum, though, I actually enjoy. It's a nice, pallet-cleansing beer. Light, sweet, and refreshing. Not bad at all.
From backlog. Bottle at Ayres Hotel Anaheim. Clear yellow with white head. Malts and water?
25-07-18 // bottle from a friend. Thanks! Matl liquor as style? Clear golden. Triple filtered awesomeness ;) malt watery sweetness.
25 ounce can into lager glass, canned on 2/18/2018. Pours crystal clear pale golden yellow color with a 1 finger fairly dense and fluffy white head with good retention, that reduces to a thin cap that lingers. Light spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Good appearance. Aromas of cracker, white bread, light biscuit, and mild herbal/grassy earthiness. A bit too lemon/pear fruity, but not too overwhelming. Poor aromas with pale malt/grains and mild earthy hop notes; with decent strength. Taste of cracker, white bread, light biscuit, and mild herbal/grassy earthiness. Very mild herbal, grassy bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of cracker, white bread, light biscuit, and mild herbal/grassy earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Solid robustness of pale malt/grains and mild earthy hop flavors; with a good malt/bitterness balance, and zero cloying/astringent flavors after the finish. Moderately crisp/clean finishing. Nicely clean on lager flavors, no too fruity. Light-moderate increasing dryness from lingering bitterness and carbonation. Medium-high carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth, fairly bready/grainy, and slightly sticky mouthfeel that is good. A bit thin, but not watery finish. Slight touch of lingering alcohol warmth through the glass. Overall this is an okay imperial light lager. All around solid robustness of pale malt/grains and mild earthy hop flavors; very smooth, crisp, clean, and refreshing to drink for the ABV. Definitely tastes like a light beer. Feels more bland than I expected for the ABV. Clean malt/grains and mild earthy hop balance. A fairly enjoyable offering, well made for the style.
So, once again, I’m coming out of ATL late at night, get the rental car, find the hotel, and then can’t find a decent liquor store (or almost any open store, really), Stop in at this place and see the horrible selection of malt liquors, and decide that it’s time to sample US major brewery junk. Oh, boy. Anywy.... it has an aroma of cereal, corn, and thin malt liquor-like note. Very pale straw color, no head. Thin sugary maltiness, with grain, corn, and light green apples. Thin body. “Triple filtered”? “Platinum”? Uh-huh.
How can someone call this beer? I did drink a lot of kinds all over the world, but BUD in all the varieties is the biggest crap ever made. It went into the toilet after first sips.
Clear golden coloured body with a larger soapier head of white that shows at about 3 centimetres at first and dies down immediately. Aroma of grass, rice, mellow malts and a touch of caster sugar with little else. Light-bodied; Super grassy and mellow malt flavours with some cardboard, a touch of rice and a larger dose of grains right afterwards along with a good kick of lemons and citrus and very little else, but at least the beer shows absolutely no bitterness at all, only some dry malt, grain and a kick of pure sugar with just about no other flavours at all. Aftertaste is dry and grainy with some citrus and sugars and water with rice behind. Overall, a very subdued beer with no obtuse flavours at all and nothing offensive nor bitter at all, just some funky/gross malts and a mellow sweetness from caster sugar that gives this one any character at all. Not the worst beer at all, and showing almost no flavour, but that's okay - at least it isn't bitter nor offensive/pungent. I sampled this sixteen ounce pint-sized can purchased from the Speedway Gas Station at the Disney Boardwalk on 31-December-2017 for US$2,00 (the cheapest beer there) sampled in my hotel room here at the Disney World [Dolphin] on 01-January-2018.
Bottle given by a coworker. Drank from the bottle. Sweet corn all over the nose and sugary corn liquid on the palate. Sweet and cloying. Undrinkable. Worse than actual bud light. I assume they upped the malt bill. Doesn't seem as thin as reg bud-light. Nah though.
12 fl oz bottle. Pours pale yellow. Small white head. Aroma is grainy and toasted malt. Flat malt and cornish. Bitter and toasted malty finish.
Not a bad beer overall when Bud Light is too watery you want something to pick it up Bud Light Platinum is that one beer when Budweiser taste way too thick, this is the one that makes up for them.
I'm not a beer guy.. Bud Light Lime is about the only thing I can even tolerate because I hate the beer taste but this....this is a drink I'd do alot for. For some reason the beer taste on here wasn't overpowering but delicate and wonderful. This is the perfect Football game, beer, meat, beer. I love it 10/10
12 ox bottle. Tastes worse than you would expect. The platinum must just be a marketing ploy to trap you into buying something that is superior, but not really.
I'm not sure what they were going for here but this beer has some malt, corn and spicy hop flavor that is metallic, papery and has a hint of charcoal.
White and fluffy head, grain aroma, nice taste.
From bottle to cup. For starters, I found the 6% to be a little odd for a "Light" beer, but OK, whatever. Pours light yellow, but has a bit of a faint pinkish hue. The head is white and fluffy. Retains well. Aroma is grain. Not offensive, but certainly nothing rich and inviting. Flavor is cereal grain and a bit of a harsh huskiness in the back half of the palate. Thin mouthfeel, high carbonation. This was not terrible. Better than most of the macros, mostly because there are less off-flavors.
Like them to get more fucked up, the consistency of the good first taste ends and it's not that good.
I don't see the appeal to this beer, it honestly tastes worse than a regular bud light.
Bottle shared at Cotteridge convention 05/03/2016. Thanks! A very pale yellow coloure pour with a fine white head. Aroma is spicy pale grains, corn, adjunct, wet, adjunct. Flavour is composed of sweet sweaty pale grains, apple and corn. harsh finish. Palate is semi sweet, moderate carbonation. Pretty clean overall.
does the job
Pale gold with minimal white head. Aroma has just a hint of grain. Dry with a suggestion of malt (and none of hops) and a nuance of raw almond. Finish is . . . oh wait . . . it is gone and left no traces of itself.
In so many words, it is the amped up version of Bud Light that tastes and smells a microcosmic better than its legendary base recipe.
