Bud Light Orange Is Hitting Shelves, Is It Here In SWLA Yet?

Bud Light Lime debuted 10 years ago, and it was a big hit, until it wasn't.  A report earlier this year found its sales had dropped 35.5% over the past five years, which was the biggest drop of any American beer.

So Bud Light's strategy apparently is to DOUBLE DOWN!

Because Bud Light Lime just got itself a cousin called Bud Light Orange and it's showing up in stores all across the country.

Look, I'm solely basing this on my Facebook timeline, but I would venture to say that Bud Light is still "King" in SWLA.

The big question, of course, is how does it taste?

Here are some quotes from people on BeerAdvocate.com:

• "It's honestly not terrible"
• "More like a soda pop than a beer"
• "It smells and tastes exactly like someone mixed Bud Light and orange Fanta"
• "Taste is artificial orange, corn, and citrus, but might not be too bad on a hot summer afternoon."

Joshua Catlett spotted the beer in his local grocery store and he had to share it on Twitter!  I don't drink beer, but I have to be honest, I'm intrigued.
