Cheap Beer Reviews
When I start thinking about cheap beer brands, I immediately think of two names, Coors Lights, and of course ’stones’ also known as Keystone Light.
These two are just the beginning of the cheap beer experience. There is a large number of cheap beer available, and I would bet that many of these brands you have never even heard of.
* Busch – After drinking this for myself there is only one reason I included it on the list, and that is the price tag on this cheap beer. When you pour you receive a moderate golden liquid with an aroma of corn and other grains, but more body than most of the “light” beers for sure. Just not that great a taste, but not bad from a glass on a very warm day.
* Black Label – This comes out with a Yellow pour and white head. It presents you with a horrible corn, grain, and alcohol aroma. Flavor is also terrible, corn grain, alcohol, this beer is very bland and watery. Not much good to say here.
* Coors – Pours a clear, light yellow color. Medium white head, which diminishes quickly. Very little aroma (very light grain). Very light grain and alcohol flavor. Short duration. Thin/watery texture. Spare lacing. Fizzy carbonation.
* Genesee – Clear yellow liquid with a light white head that quickly lowers to a wispy layer on the surface of the beer. The aroma presents you with a cereal-like innuendo of yeast and corn husk. The taste is very mild and watery with corn flakes and a very light lingering taste of corn husk. There is a light but persistent bitter after taste.
* Huber – Its fizzy and pale yellow and the head vanishes immediately. Aroma? Almost none, except for a very faint whiff of malt. Very watery and nearly tasteless – malt, corn, and a light metallic finish. Not a drain pour.
* Keystone – Bland-but a redeemingly cheap beer. Taste in comparison with other domestic light beers makes it a great value. Many people I know who dont like the taste of beer can tolerate the “never bitter” Keystone, so that says a lot in itself. This is my beer of choice when trying to play numerous games of ‘Beer Pong’
* Miller Light- The uncontested king of Cheap Beer, with its clear yellow liquid, decent taste of wheat and hops, and not to much head. Honestly if I’m need to choose a cheap beer off this list this is definitely the one I would personally choose.
* Natural Light – Lemony corn aroma. Clear effervescent yellow appearance, thin head. Cardboard flavor tinged with stale malt. Harsh mouth feel. For a moment I thought I tasted hops, but I think it was only wishful thinking. I feel sorry for all of the college kids who are forced so slug down this beer simply because its cheap.
Cheap Beer – Wrap Up
Since we have gone through a small list and talked about some of the cheap beers I’m going to give you a final wrap up. If you simply need something that will be cheap for your party guest to drink and use while playing drinking games, my recommendation has to be keystone, one of the most inexpensive of beers, its watery qualities allow you to drink vast amounts of beer and remain standing long enough to land that ping pong ball in the appropriate cup.
If you need something for casual consumption and prefer not to spend a fortune or don’t have a fortune to spend, try Coors or Miller Lite. They are usually a safe bet. Good Luck and Happy Drinking.
