Bud Light Platinum

[scottminot]

Bought a six pack today and just drank my second one and I gotta say I'm quite impressed. I've always disliked the major label American beers and have been a lover of Belgian ales and craft beers for many years.
The 6% abv is what drew to give it a try. It's a very smooth, good tasting, light beer, and has 137 calories.

I give it a thumbs up!

I've heard of this new beer. My opinions are much like your opinions were...Perhaps, I'll give it a try as well, as I've been drinking Beck's for the longest.

I like it. It tastes like Budweiser which is usually what I drink unless I pick up some other darker ale.

 

[x NOODLES x]

For what it is........It is a VERY drinkable American Beer with upper level Alcohol content.

a got a six pack about 2 months ago and i was thoroughly impressed. I'm more of a craft/foreign beer kinda guy, but platinum is legit

I enjoy it but I also like Bud Light so it was a foregone conclusion.

 

[REPCobra10]

Well...I'll definitely give it a try. It sounds like you guys like it for the most part, so what's there to lose?

I don't really care for bud light but I really like the platinum. But on the other hand most of my friends who drink bud light didn't care for it. I don't know what gives. As previously stated the 6% is what originally made my try it, and the hot bartender that suggested it of course...

Well, 6% AC in a beer is certainly attractive, but there is nothing like a smoking hot bartender to help persuade you...Haha!

Agreed. I hadn't even heard of it, until I was at my local bar/mexican grill and they handed me one. It does seem to be slightly more bitter than a regular one however. Throw in the fact I can get drunk on less of these, and we have a winner in my book.

I stopped drinking Bud when I cut off my mullet.

I had it at a superbowl party and loved it for what it was, in the summer when I drink American style beers that's most likely what I'll drink. The 6% is nice.

It's a fancier Key Stone Ice hah. The blue bottle is cool, but I would think doesn't provide much protection from getting the beer skunky.

 

[crew_dawg16]

I like it as well, and I am an import guy.

Sent from my phone (no "i" needed).

 

[xXGadfly09Xx]

Platinum is the best bottled beer I have had at college BAR NONE

 

[oldmodman]

It's a beer that you can safely give to kids.

They can't get hurt drinking it.

isnt the bottle aluminum instead of transparent glass? I dont think sunlight would skunk it in that case.

ive only seen them like once in the store. I think cases of bud goes so quick anyways you dont have to worry about long term shelf life skunkability of a more transparent bottle.

The one I have had is dark blue with a vertical "platinum" insignia. I think you're thinking of BL select. I thought it was quite good considering what it is. I'm not a fan of most popular beers, but found it to be a good option for the bar scene since they usually runs sales on the big names.

I enjoyed it as well it has replaced Yuengling as my go to bar beer.
