Budweiser (pack of 12) (35.5cl, 5%)

Budweiser is an American adjunct lager from Anheuser-Busch in St. Louis, Missouri, first introduced in 1876. Its grain bill is approximately 30% four-row barley malt, 40% six-row barley malt and 30% rice grits, brewed with a blend of imported and domestic aroma hops. Beechwood strips are placed in the ageing tanks to give yeast additional surface area, promoting more thorough fermentation and helping remove undesirable flavour compounds. The aroma is mild, with light bready malt, a subtle apple-like fruitiness and faint floral hop notes. The palate is gently sweet from rice, with mild toasted-biscuit and light caramel from the barley malt blend, restrained hop bitterness and lively carbonation. The finish is clean and dry with a rounded grainy character that fades quickly.
