First review on RateBeer. woot! I\u2019m sure we\u2019re all stoked to see what I thought about this one. Before you read on, I should note that I actually really like the Bud Light Rita series.

It was $2.99 for a 25 ounce can. Split 2 ways after work a whole 3 weeks before this is released to the public. Ultra Rare Malt Liquor ticks!!!!! Enjoyed at 55F in stemware. I\u2019m a huge fan of the rita beers.<\/p>\n<p>A &#8211; Pours a 2 finger solid white fizzy head that fades fast. Looks like lemonade in the glass. cloudy light yellow, white and very lemonjuice-like.<\/p>\n<p>S &#8211; Nose is a sweet state fair lemonade affair with a little bit of plastic, maybe that\u2019s just the ethanol speaking to me.<\/p>\n<p>T &#8211; Pretty much as straight up clone of Minute Maid Lemonade with a boozy middle and finish. The lingering finish is a honeydew melon and strawberry. Not as sour as I would hope for lemon. still getting that plastic taste. Sweetness is nice. I can certainly chug this on a hot day.<\/p>\n<p>M &#8211; Decent mouthfeel, a bit oily.<\/p>\n<p>O &#8211; Yeah, this is not my favorite in the rita category but certainly better than mango.<\/p><\/div>\n<p><a title=\"View &#039;Bud Light Lime Lemon-ade-Rita&#039; on Flickr.com\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/adamjackson\/16341781750\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img  loading=\"lazy\"  decoding=\"async\"  style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\"  title=\"Bud Light Lime Lemon-ade-Rita\"  src=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABAQMAAAAl21bKAAAAA1BMVEUAAP+KeNJXAAAAAXRSTlMAQObYZgAAAAlwSFlzAAAOxAAADsQBlSsOGwAAAApJREFUCNdjYAAAAAIAAeIhvDMAAAAASUVORK5CYII=\"  alt=\"Bud Light Lime Lemon-ade-Rita\"  width=\"640\"  height=\"480\"  border=\"0\"  class=\" pk-lazyload\"  data-pk-sizes=\"auto\"  data-pk-src=\"https:\/\/farm8.staticflickr.com\/7301\/16341781750_e73c5eaa6d_z.jpg\" ><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"View &#039;Bud Light Lime Lemon-ade-Rita&#039; on Flickr.com\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/adamjackson\/15906665784\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img  loading=\"lazy\"  decoding=\"async\"  style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\"  title=\"Bud Light Lime Lemon-ade-Rita\"  src=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABAQMAAAAl21bKAAAAA1BMVEUAAP+KeNJXAAAAAXRSTlMAQObYZgAAAAlwSFlzAAAOxAAADsQBlSsOGwAAAApJREFUCNdjYAAAAAIAAeIhvDMAAAAASUVORK5CYII=\"  alt=\"Bud Light Lime Lemon-ade-Rita\"  width=\"480\"  height=\"640\"  border=\"0\"  class=\" pk-lazyload\"  data-pk-sizes=\"auto\"  data-pk-src=\"https:\/\/farm8.staticflickr.com\/7317\/15906665784_43ccab2cd0_z.jpg\" ><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"This ultra \u201climited summer edition\u201d doesn\u2019t come out for a few more weeks but someone didn\u2019t get the&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"apple_news_api_created_at":"2016-03-17T02:22:21Z","apple_news_api_id":"f7d0e1ba-588f-4aba-b86c-5b4983b160be","apple_news_api_modified_at":"2016-03-17T02:22:21Z","apple_news_api_revision":"AAAAAAAAAAD\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/w==","apple_news_api_share_url":"https:\/\/apple.news\/A99DhuliPSrq4bFtJg7Fgvg","apple_news_cover_media_provider":"image","apple_news_coverimage":0,"apple_news_coverimage_caption":"","apple_news_cover_video_id":0,"apple_news_cover_video_url":"","apple_news_cover_embedwebvideo_url":"","apple_news_is_hidden":"","apple_news_is_paid":"","apple_news_is_preview":"","apple_news_is_sponsored":"","apple_news_maturity_rating":"","apple_news_metadata":"\"\"","apple_news_pullquote":"","apple_news_pullquote_position":"","apple_news_slug":"","apple_news_sections":[],"apple_news_suppress_video_url":false,"apple_news_use_image_component":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"csco_singular_sidebar":"","csco_page_header_type":"","csco_custom_appearance":"","csco_disable_excerpt_posts_layout":false,"csco_page_load_nextpost":"","csco_post_video_location":[],"csco_post_video_location_hash":"","csco_post_video_url":"","csco_post_video_bg_start_time":0,"csco_post_video_bg_end_time":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[160],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-2632","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-reviews","7":"cs-entry","8":"cs-video-wrap"},"apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pb3IC4-Gs","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":938,"url":"https:\/\/adamchandler.me\/blog\/2012\/10\/25\/review-samuel-adams-utopias-2011\/","url_meta":{"origin":2632,"position":0},"title":"\u2605 Review: Samuel Adams Utopias (2011)","author":"Adam Chandler","date":"October 25, 2012","format":false,"excerpt":"\u00a0 3.3 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0AROMA\u00a010\/10\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0APPEARANCE\u00a05\/5\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0TASTE\u00a05\/10\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0PALATE\u00a03\/5\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0OVERALL10\/20 adamjackson\u00a0(764)\u00a0- Canaan, New Hampshire, USA - OCT 11, 2012 2011 Vintage. bottle #01979.
