Known as “the King of Beers,” Budweiser is a medium-bodied, flavourful, crisp American-style lager. Our beer is golden in colour, with a subtle honey aroma and a trace of citrus, punctuated by notes of malt and noble hops. A perfectly balanced, full-flavoured lager.

Flavourful :confused:
It's made with a large amount of rice instead of barley. Rice is much cheaper than barley and had little to no flavour in brewing use. Good price if you like that sort of thing, but not flavorful!

Didn't these used to be 330ml?

Like most products, the size has slowly decreased 'due to the economic climate' - yes, they used to be 330ml in bulk boxes.
Now its usually just the 4-6 packs and cans that are 330ml
I am also fairly certain that I read that due to taxes, the % of alcohol in Budwiser, Fosters, Stella and other brands was reduced to fall within a threshold e.g. 4.4% down to 4.2% :-(

The price per litre is the important comparison. Normally bud on sale will be round about £2 per litre, but seen it as low as £1.67.
The ABV dropped to 4.7 or 4.8%, not 4 2

7.2 Litres of Beer, it's not a great beer but it's an evening I'll probably forget, sounds good to me.

These when on offer normally work out at 50p a bottle. As this is slightly less then this is a good deal.

Budweiser used to be 5.0% before they watered down to 4.8% around late 2011. Many beer followed as well such as Stella Artois, Becks, Corba, and Carlsberg Export who did the same because of the tax. I suppose with this price, you can't argue.

Problem is they water them down and they taste like ****, I used to love Singha, it used to be 6% and was lovely, it's now 5% and tastes nothing like it used to.
They blame taxes, but how come I can always find a 70cl bottle of Jim Beam for £13? That's 40%. Although saying that you go to a Pub now and you pay £4.50 a pint... wtf? Used to be £2.10 when I was first 18, there is no way I'd pay £4.50 a pint... I just don't go to Pubs any more.

Crappy beer.
Birra moretti is nice, personal favourite is peroni gran riserva. 6.6% and expect to pay about £1.75 a bottle. Have tried all sorts of fancy pants independent brews and not found one that beats it.

A Pint of this pi55 water works out cheaper per liter on my water meter via my kitchen tap.
But the original Czech Budvar on the other hand.... Delicious....

the high level of taxes on beer in the UK means prices can be lower if the alcohol strength abv is lowered, but it's not imposed by the govt as some retailers and manufacturers like to imply, it's their choice to appear competitive. The cheaper brands then reduce bottle size as well, Stella is sold in 284ml bottles, more premium brands are in the usual 330ml, as is Coors. note Bud on draught in pubs is even lower at 4.3% which seems sneaky

Funny how all the people slating this beer have deliberately clicked on a thread labelled Budweiser to tell us how bad they think it is, how poor it tastes, etc. Just scroll on guys. This deal isn't for you.
