Last week I reposted my Bud Light Lime Lime-a-Rita Review from last year, and I made mention that a Bud Light Lime Straw-Ber-Rita Review would be forthcoming… and here it is!
I really, really like Bud Light Lime Lime-a-Ritas, so I was extremely intrigued by Bud’s new product: Bud Light Lime Straw-Ber-Rita.
Bud’s Notes
Bud Light Lime Straw-Ber-Rita, an 8% alc/vol flavored malt beverage that blends the refreshment of Bud Light Lime with the taste of an authentic strawberry margarita. An 8oz serving of the 8% ABV version is 199 calories and has 23.6g carbs.
My Notes
I had a can of the Bud Light Lime Straw-Ber-Rita three different times in the past two weeks so I could write this review up – and it wasn’t because I liked the Bud Light Lime Straw-Ber-Rita, because I didn’t particularly. I kept giving it a go so I could figure out why I disliked it.
Poured, there is no head at all to the Bud Light Lime Straw-Ber-Rita. It smells a bit like a strawberry, looks redish-pinkish in the glass, but it tastes like an artificial carbonated strawberry going down. This isn’t a good thing. It tastes nothing like a good strawberry anything to me, let alone a margarita.
To say I was disappointed in the Bud Light Lime Straw-Ber-Rita is an understatement. I had such high expectations after the Bud Light Lime Lime-a-Rita, and was so looking forward to this product! Maybe that was the problem? My expectations were too high? I do know that while we will continue to buy the Bud Light Lime Lime-a-Rita, we will not buy the Bud Light Lime Straw-Ber-Rita again.
Have you tried the Bud Light Lime Straw-Ber-Rita? What did you think?
As always, drink responsibly and please don’t drink and drive.

Ha…I’ve been waiting on this. Your liquor taste buds are much more developed than mine. Just give me something at the end of the day to relax. I oddly think there’s not a whole lot of difference in taste between the two, even tho’ its lime and strawberry. I have consumed a few more strawberries since last week’s post on this, and if I had to pick I would lean towards the lime as well, but hey…at the end of the day, either tastes good for me (says the grandma to 10 month old triplets that I help care for, play with, etc every day!!)

WOW! You run after triplets every day!? I’d be dead in an hour. Good for you Donna!

I was wondering about this so the honey grabbed me one last night. I figured I would try and do a review and give my two cents about it. Now I want to try it even more because I can’t wait to see how my experience compares to yours.

Oh shoot Ann, I went to Tom Thumb, (Safeway), and saw they had the Lime or Straw-berry on sale, 10 for $10. I bought one of the Strawberry because I love strawberries, even though I break out in hives from them. Now you tell me that it wasn’t good, that was a whole dollar that could have been spent on razors, which, by the way, I have about 100 of, like I need more. Any how, I do not drink, except for the occasional glass of wine, so I will suck it up and drink it anyways and while under the table from the drink I will sing, to the tune of How Dry I am, “I should have read Ann’s review first”.
admin says
LOL I hope you disagree with me completely, Candie, and love it! Then you won’t have wasted your dollar.
(And I am still laughing at your tune…)
