I drink cheap beer for the most part. Busch Light Apple is only 4% abv so I wouldn't buy it regularly. If I could find a 30 of this I would pick it right up but I think Ill only be able to find it close by in NY state or if we take a road trip to PA.

Some highlights of the reviews

Raime from Greenland said
“Bud Light Apple.

On a week long work trip to Canada, I found a tall boy of this in one of the convenience stores sitting right over the border through Detroit. Honestly didn't even know this stuff exists so I figured **** it, let's give it a shot.

Look - Pours a typical see through golden with a frothy white head that brims to the top and overflows a bit on the pint glass. Carbonation appears to be about moderate and there is no lacing left to mention.

Smell - Initially hit by the usual adjunctyness that regular Bud Light is known for with a moderate grain bill and just a touch of apple peel. I usually pick up apple peel in some adjuncts anyway so..

Taste - The apple becomes more pronounced here though it is met oddly by the malt and makes it a bit weird tasting. Like imagine taking cardboard and wrapping it around an apple and taking a bite.

Feel - Body is sweet, watery and chock full of carbonation though not cloyingly sweet and easily drinkable.

Overall - It was easy drinking and didn't have much flavor to mention, like the original. Not too bad, But nothing worth going out of the way for as expected.”

Buschbeer from Ohio said

“473 ml can
Served in a Bud Light pint glass.
This beverage pours a brilliant golden color. It is topped with an inch of fleeting white head that leaves no lacing.
The smell is sweet apple all day long. I get a biscuit aroma after a bit. It kind of smells like an apple dumpling.
The taste is sweet apple up front. The finish is somewhat dry. Thin mouthfeel
It is not as sweet as Redd's. It reminds me of a cider more than a beer.”

NJ is definitely not getting Busch Light Apple.
 

Ok so I've contacted a couple distributors, after talking to Anheuser-Busch in St Louis, in NY and PA because NJ is definitely not getting Busch Light Apple. (Another reason not stay in New Jersey)

The office release date is July 20, this coming Monday.

Yes. Success. I can buy it.

These guys will have it on Tuesday at their beer store.

It's happening...

Now to chill a few down and give them a try at 5pm

Mmm.
I imbibed a single can of this rare fizzy goodness today.
This is much better than I thought it was going to be.
I can taste the apple skin and some sour apple like Granny Smith and maybe a little sweet like Macintosh.
This is a light beer and the apple flavor is excellent.

More later when I sample a few more during the week.

Today’s Busch Light Apple was better than yesterdays. It’s light and makes a great first beer. It has just the right amount of apple and the apple flavor is very good. I have grown up with apple trees in my backyards and I have made hard cider from fresh apple juice I made myself. I know apples and cider. I think AB should make this one of their regular beers. I decided today I’m saving all of the the cans and Ill repack the boxes to commemorate this event.

Thank you for this review

Apple juice :playball:

A friend of mine in Milwaukee has struggled for about 2 weeks to buy even one 30 of the Busch Light Apple. Today he was successful. He is now part of history and a better person.
