Hilarious Review of B to the E
In relation to the previous post about top beers, a fellow at alt.beer posted a link to this rather funny review of B to the E posted by mrkstvns. (Also, check out the alt.beer FAQ for something more serious and informative.) Here are some of my favorite excerpts about Anheuser-Busch’s new offering:
Pros
Ummm. Ummm. Ummm. I guess none.Cons
Tastes like waste products from a petrochemical plant.…
Every now and then, a new product comes out that is so innovative, so useful, so intelligently thought out that a consumer can’t help but say, “I must buy that!” What this has to do with Anheuser-Busch’s latest gimmick, B to the E, I’m not sure, because nobody in their right mind would ever say something like that about such an amazingly stupid product as this.
…
Once I get past the initial gag reflex, I’m stunned at how complex the fruit character is. It tastes chock full of hexenes, amines, tetras and other words that only petroleum and chemical engineers use in polite conversation. Is it raspberry? Vaguely, but no, not really.
