If I wanted to try out a new beer, I could always head out to the local (and awesome) Julio’s Liquors and spend hours trying to decide what that new something will be. But sometimes the easiest place to find a new kind of beer is at someone else’s house. And who do doesn’t love free beer?
With summer comes parties, and with parties comes beer. Normally I just drink my usual stuff in the cooler, but seeing as I needed to have something to write about, I took one for the team and reached for something I’d never have considered sipping before: Michelob Ultra Lime Cactus.
First thing of note: the beer is green, and I don’t mean that it’s good for the environment. It’s not quite green enough to carry around on St. Patrick’s Day, though you’d really not want to be doing that with this beer if you weren’t interested in getting the crap beat out of you.
Essentially, this is a wine cooler with a beer label. It’s way too sweet for any true beer drinker’s liking — there’s just nothing beery about it. It’s akin to Sprite and citronella in a bottle. In fact, quoth my sister-in-law: “it tastes like bug spray.”
This is one of those “beers” that someone who doesn’t usually like beer can drink and say, “hey, look everyone! I drink beer!” Luckily the clear bottle with the Slurm-like substance inside is a dead giveaway, and you can commence pointing and laughing while you blow the head off an Imperial Stout.
At least it was free.
