Bud Lime is a Czech Budweiser Budvar product rather than an AB InBev Budweiser spin-off, which is worth knowing — the two are completely separate breweries. The idea here is a low-ABV lager with citrus character, using natural lime flavour and mango juice added to a non-alcoholic beer base. The result sits in radler territory rather than tasting like a straight lime lager. The aroma is sweet and fruity: orange, mango, and a faint lager malt underneath. There's lime in the name but the citrus on the nose leans more tropical than sharp. On the palate you get sweetness up front — mango and packaged orange juice quality — with a faint malt backbone and a crisper lime note on the finish. It's not a serious beer; it's closer to a light lemon-lime soft drink dressed as one. At 26 calories per 100ml and 5.2g sugar it's not particularly low-sugar for the category. It's not vegan or gluten-free. Honest fun if that's what you're after — best drunk cold at a barbecue rather than analysed too closely.
