6 Tim» Hey Deb, the 86 "extra" calories are from the actual alcohol. One gram of alcohol has 7 calories or something like that. I've been looking for a new beer as my gut is finally starting to catch up with my drinking. Gonna give this a try tonight.

7 AlternativeGuy» Its not that bad of a beer.. not characteristic of what true beer should be But allows my Homo body to keep a few pounds off LOL

9 Dimas» best beer ever

8 Kansas Sampler» Great Light Beer, Amstel has nothing on this brew.

9 Rae» It's smooth and for a very cheap beer actually seems to at least *attempt* to not taste horrible, and if you're like me, you eat when you drink - this beer goes well with standard fare.

10 kee70cuda» I use to drink Molson XXX. I switched to Mich Ultra because it takes longer to make me stupid, but I guess I'm not a real beer drinker now.

0 munkie2funkie» I prefer Miller High Life Light and AB beer tastes like piss water like Bud and Bud Lite... But ultra isn't too bad. I am on a diet and stumbled on this page while looking at beer calories.

8 rastus» I like ultra but not the price. Budweiser Select is cheaper and has similar specifications...

3 deb» If there are only 2.6 g of carbs, that equals 10.4 calories. So what are the other 86 calories made of?? The only choice is fat or protein, and I suspect neither. I am suspicious that it has more carbs than they say.

6 TFN» I'm diabetic. I still want to drink a few beers from time to time. According to my dr., it's this or Miller Lite. I was a Bud drinker for over 30 years, so i guess we'll keep it in the family...

0 Digger» P.U. Pthhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhht !!!

6 Brad» Hey, I'm man enough to admit that like Sugar Free Red Bull, I like this beer. No, it's not my favorite, but when I'm just hanging out (i.e not partying), I think it's a decent quality beer. And, since I do drink a few while sitting on the back port

11 farmboy9» great taste, not over powering... i can drink it instead of a soft drink and not feel bad.

10 Hot Chick» I searched the internet for the "healthiest" beer out there. What a joke right, esp for us that drink way too much? This beer was a winner and I had to go buy it. It was smooth tasting...it does not shock my taste buds like most beers to get a buz

11 jlynne» great!

8 jessica» i generally like darker beers but for a long night of partying i prefer this because somehow i wake up the next day always hang over free no matter how much i drank!

5 Buster» I keep a 6 pack of Ultra hidden in the basement fridge...and drink it super cold while taking a really hot shower...I find it refreshing somehow...none of my buddies are the wiser but my wife complains about the bottles...

9 firebadbeergood» I enjoy different beers at different times. Guinness is the best beer to drink on its own. But with meals, I tend to stick with lagers. Lt. beers are good as a snack between beers, esp with pretzels or peanuts. Mich Ultra is good. MillerLite's better

2 Brian» I hate seltzer/tonic water, and that is the first thing I tasted with this beer, if I wanted a club soda I would not have ordered a beer

8 Auderino» Yup, definitely a girls' beer, but what the hey, I am one. I like it muy mucho. I have had two tonight and that is what made me write "muy mucho." (Yup Imma lightweight.) Just checking out the # of carbs after the fact. Go Steelers!

8 Cynthia Roberson» I find that being a diabetic and drinking beer that the less carbs the better for me and also carbohydrates tend to make my belly swell, so it sure helps me out!

5 Scrappy» Much better than any of the other American style light beers except Miller Lite (which is the archetypal American Light beer). It reminds me of Shiner Kolsch a little bit...but Shiner is MUCH better!

11 lawdawg» This beer is grerat. I am a long time beer drinker, and I love to try every kind of beer out there, but bein in my field of work, gotta watch the weight. So hell ya I recommend this beer. Go ahead and crack one (just don't drive after or I'll get ya)

11 Biker» I'm borderline diabetic. Gotta watch carbs so this is great. I allways said there's alot of beers I won't buy but few I wont drink. Girls beer? Who cares. Besides, I like girls, they like my new brand of beer. Health is important.It's a no brainer!!!

10 irishpubseattle» I work at an irish pub near seattle, WA and I must say, Boddington's is the finest beer we serve. It is also the tastiest beer I have ever encountered. I would describe it as a creamy, tastefully delightful ale. Goes great with food, especially beef.

11 Josie» Best beer out there.Goes down smooth and easy, and I am not and never was a big beer fan. But this beer has change my opinionon beer

11 countingcarbs» lost 30 lbs last yr doing a low to almost no carb diet. i was then and am again now that im doing over again look really forward to going home to a beer. the margarita bucket in freezer has 34 carbs per glass. so mich ultra for now and bring it on..

11 mel» I love this beer, it does not taste any different than bud light, and has fewer calories! HELL YA!!!!

7 Sandy » I am extremely surprised by the taste. I would say it's been ten or more years since I've purchased Michelob. Budwiser look out! Miller it not an option for me....

4 rex II» it's better than not having a beer at all. it's no red stripe but what do you expect for cheep beer,

5 samk» picked it up cause it was only 4.99 bottles. not bad, only will pick up when i'm low on funds.

9 19 Delta» I like this beer, but being in the Army and when I come over with a 12 pack of this stuff to a platoon party... you should hear the crap they give me for being a puss and liking this beer. But whatever, I love this stuff cuz its got an easy taste.

11 Great taste for less carbs!

8 Mick» Found this drop at the local bottle shop, normally drink Australian wheat beer"little creatures" but this beer from the U.S is not bad, plus you can drink a carton and still feel o.k.

4 steve» Give them a break. They're trying to pad their already fat wallets (let's face it, we drink a LOT) by skimming a little here and there. But I'm glad you included the homo-sexes in your comments. We're weak, but we're here (and queer).

6 Ed» Not bad. I'm surprised that it's such a low calorie beer. I can drink a couple and not feel like I'm falling off the diet wagon. My wife fears I fall off the "other" wagon though!

3 SickClown» Bought by mistake. Didn't see small print. Wattery with an ok aftertaste. Good for yard work on a hot day. Tastes like kid beer. Not bad for light, better then Miller Light. From a mostly Guiness, Stella drinker. Stop the white regression.

8 Jeffrey Osborn» I think this is the beer for the non-beer drinkers. I enjoy this beer and I'm not a huge beer fan. It's got a nice buttery/nutty taste to it.

2 Beer4brkfst» you guys are all missing the point entirely - Miller Lite is the same thing calorie-wise AND carb-wise, and tastes MUCH better

11 It's a great beer for the lower calories and carbs.

7 Jo» At least I can have a beer and not screw up my low carb diet.

9 darrell» well, go ahead and eat those burgers, just throw out the bun. this is a great beer for low carb dieters.plus it isnt that bad and doesnt fill you up. i can easily drink a six , catch a buzz. and still keep on a diet plan

1 gbgregg» YOU have got to be kidding. This is not beer. I always kid the girls about the seltzer water they are ordering.

9 Brandon» Tastes a lot like Bud Light which is one of my favorite light beers.......less carbs so an added bonus I can say the taste is pretty good besides a little watery

8 Tim» It's not a bad beer - very drinkable. I wish they would come out with an ultra-low carb black beer though.

11 Dude» I have a drinking problem, I can admit that. I drink just to drink, not actually get drunk. If I can go out and drink 12 of these and still wake up feeling good in the morning without gaining as much weight, then im on board. Taste decent as well

1 B-Rad» It is just not tasty... I don't care about the carbs and calories I save. I want a tasty beer. After all, isn't that the point of drinking something? If you want to just get plastered, guzzle a gallon of rum and call it a day. Beer is for tasting.

11 Lauren» love it. kinda watery if you're not into light beer, but still better than bud light and the rest of its competitors. if you're into craft beers and other "good" brews, then stick with amstel.

8 StavinChain» Wow. I can actually drink beer and remain faithful to my Weight Watchers' plan. OK, folks, this really isn't all that bad, just watery. Think of Guinness as a French Cabernet Sauvignon, and this as a very nice California Rosé.

8 Missy» I am not a beer drinker, I just don't like the taste but Ultra is the only beer I can even drink that does not disgust me.

11 everyone has different tastes and different opinions. I enjoy this beer far more than the others mentioned...bud would never touch my taste buds again. Amstel is a close second to ultra. Other than the beer farts the next day, it's awesome.

10 Sandy» Okay--first and foremost I was never a beer drinker but DAMN does this beer tastes good as a chaser to my cognac. I know--weird--but I drink the beer as I am sipping my cognac. Awesome and yes, am a girl.

11 Big-O» I personally think this beer is great... You may pay more for it but it is worth it. I think this beer makes a great first couple of drinks then you can go onto the other stuff... After so many, they all taste the same and go down like water anyway.

11 lite» Great beer I love the taste and the low carbs can never have to many on a night out!

7 What» This is a good light beer that doesnt taste as good as others but after drinking 3000 or so in a few years the advantage of less carbs is attractive.

6 J murphy» I've had better

4 LoveBeer» Its better than drinking water but not by much.Did I mention I hate water? Try a light beer that tastes like beer, Amstel Light is not a bad choice.

11 Remarkable as it sounds, almost as bad as Bud Light.

11 Cassie» It will change the way you feel about beer, especially if you are a female.

5 You2MustBeCorrected» This beer is ok. You2 who posted above, however, is full of shit. She claimed that it contains 4 less calories than Miller Lite. The article clearly states that both have 96 calories.

4 luvmicrobutdrinkmacs» Not real good but also not real bad. It's main problem is it's main selling point: it's not satisfying. I'll with Miller Lite in the future, usually.

10 mattman» Only an insecure pansy would see beer as the measure of an other person's "manly-ness." No, youre not more of a man because you drink beer that tastes like shit, your insecure with your own sexuality. I drink to get drunk, not to savor the flavor

10 Todd» I love beer! I can't stay away from it. I've always been very fit but now I'm in my early 40's. I have to start watching for the beer belly. This is the beer for me! Great tasting low carbs and still gives you the buzz! Can't beat it.

7 about2try_it» I guess I should have done my research before I went to the supermarket. O well, down the hatch!

0 Stoutmiester» Might as well drink horse urine....

1 DC» this beer is for queers, old ladys, and fat ladys, and very pussie drinkers...it sucks

10 miss60» The snobs that are bashing mich. ultra are the fat nasty couch potatoes that the daily news is reporting on when discussing American's obesity.

11 chris tomblin» this beer is great.it doesnt leave that oooooooh first drink taste.

8 You2» Mich Ultra is a good light beer. I prefer Miller light with only 4 more calories and .3 more carbs, but Mich Ultra is MUCH better than Bud Light, Coors light, or busch light.

5 Glen» It's beer. wouldn't want to drink it warm, but it will do if no Bud Light is around. Gotta be cold to kill the aftertaste.

2 Jimbo Caesar» Better than drinking tepid dishwater or warm Coors Lite...but not by much.

4 drunkchic» I drank 3 and had the worst heartburn of my life. I actually thought that I might be having a heart attack! I have heard this from several other women at out local bar. Ouch, give me something else.

2 mary » Well I'm actually on South Beach Diet right now and decided to try Mich Ultra again because of the low carbs.Yeah well it should also state low flavor,low satisfaction,low in color and low on my list of beers to try again.Color is like H2O.

5 Mr. toofat» Drinking some now; ahhhhhh, beer flavored water... But hey- least I don't have to worry about finishing off the sixer and ruining my diet... hmmm, no temptation is a good thing right??? maybe I should try vodka- how many calories does that have?

7 Beerme» I have to ask a question, why does a beer snob even bother rating a light beer. Beer snobs only like brands that taste the bottom of an barrel. The fouler tasting the better. They need to learn to appreciate all types of beer before rating them.

1 Dizzy» Someone will buy and drink it but it won't be me.

8 mexichef69» Mich ultra is a good beer for me, I can get up the next day after drinkig a couple of tequila shots and a 12 pack and go run a couple of miles without feeling like a nasty lard ass

8 Triathlete» I like this beer. It obviously doesn't have the character or perhaps the unique taste of certain beers (such as St. Bernardus) but is a great domestic beer. It doesn't fill you up and still gets you drunk!

11 Anton» awesome taste!

0 Homer» Did you know that this crap is actually LIGHTER than water? It finishes with a final gravity of 0.998, which means that water has more body.

1 GERMAN» This is not beer. It's a social drink.

7 BeerAndBaseballGrl» anyone on a diet should probably not drink beer at all, or else just drink whatever, since the extra like 30 calories or whatever aren't going to make much of a difference. that said, i think mich ultra is surprisingly yummy.

2 the other Brian» Arrgghh! Mich. Ultra reminds me of those "near beers" you could buy without an I.D.

1 DrJon» tied with Coors light as the most watered down, non-beer tasting beer in existence. Girly beer.

10 popshot» This beer is great, but u feel like a female whenever u order one, I'll stick to my johhny walker on the rocks

7 Kc F» I'm the type that does not like to switch back and forth with beers. As long as I start with Mich, I'm fine. I rarely drink it.

10 DuffMan» I'm tired of these crappy imports and beer snobs telling me what a good beer is. I've found a good beer and its name is Mich Ultra. It's flavorful, easy to drink, and I can cram a few without worrying about a dui after one belgium high alc.

3 coronasux» uhhhhhh I think Corona is better?

8 krock» awsome taste.only drink it now

11 Blueribbon» I love Mich Ultra. I usually drink it when ever I go out. It tastes good and I love the fact that it only has 96 calories. Even dieters can drink now!

1 Mike Untsmels» This is Ultra...ultra terrible. This makes beer run off taste good. Get me a Stella or a Straub,,,,REAL BEERS! Three thumbs down (I am from WV)

1 Boston Embiber» Pour this crap into a glass and then see if you still want to drink it...it looks like water from the Charles River that was given a pinch of shit and then microwaved. If watching your carbs, then don't drink beer...that's it - otherwise, shut the f

11 Rainman» Budweiser Select isn't on the list, but Mich Ultra and Bud Select are fantastic beers these beers offer full flavor a distinct clean finish and are easier on the belly and head. I am also less susceptible to hangovers with these two beers.

0 Reid» This is beer? really?..could have fooled me.

10 CJ-Scotsman» This is quality beer for the 21st century. Clean and crisp with a decent egde to it. Stop living in the past. Stella Artois is a joke, the Belgians hate it with good cause, they have many good local beers that are clean and crisp tasted like Ultra.

11 Steve» I love this beer...this is a well brewed beer. Consider that it's only 96 calories and low carbs, imagine how good it could be if it were 150 calories!

10 bluegill» great tasting beer. does'nt make you full and can drink alot of it with out a hang over.

0 george and ricky» poor beer if you even want to call it beer. only people like cameron bigler would drink stuff like this

11 Dawn» I drank Coor Light for years - but now won't drink anything but ULTRA. I really like the taste and the lack of calories.

2 Steve» This is a joke...It took off quickly in the bar that I run...now we can't give it away. The old adage about 'Making love in a canoe...."...This is a good candidate to surpas Coors Lite/Aspen Edge...yuk.... Gotta get back to my Stella Artois....

7 jerry» i had a 6 pack last knight and the knight before and the knight before and i still have a 6 pack ,love jerry

0 GHawk» This is not beer. It is boild adjuncts and fermented then carbinated. Beer must have malted barley at least to be called BEER! Don't waste your money.

0 TruBru» I must have gotten a bad twelve pack, my wife swears somebody filled all the bottles with water! Every single one!

11 Tasty» I've become an exclusive Ultra drinker, because it tastes better, and because I don't get a hangover from it unless I drink a LOT. If you drink Ultra exclusively for a while, and then drink other beer, then you'll know what I'm talking about.

9 nimbus» Great beer, good taste shame it looks like water when in a glass

11 Mike» Great tasting beer! It has helped me lose over 30 pounds!

11 Hyertis» This beer is the best light beer. Drank a 6 pack last night...good times and great light beer.

2 Nate» Please drink a real beer.

11 volfan 55 » ULTRA IS AWESOME!! It is finally available in kegs and is always on had at UT games. GO VOLS!

5 Deb» My brother lost over 30 lbls swithching from regular Bud to Ultra. He swears by it, but after doing the taste test, dealing with the slight hangover the next day. I'll try something else. The ultra tasted much better, but the hang over got to me.

11 ultra rules!» Excellent light tasting beer. It does not taste watered down or flat as some have indicated. Highly recommended.

0 shrivelednoodle» I drank a case of the stuff in a day. It's less filling, makes you tinkle more, not much of a buzz, and lacks taste. I didn't even smell like a lush. What less could you ask for?

1 ieatbeer» There's no difference between the taste of Ultra and H20

11 Don in Athens, GA» I drink it exclusively and like it more than Miller Lite which was my only beer. Sure, it's thin, light, but I can drink about 3 a night, my quota unless at a real party, and still keep off the 50 lbs. I shed on Atkins.

11 ultra fan!!!!» This is a great beer. And I am disgusted that anyone would suggest drinking that aspen edge crap! I have seen numerous times at aspen promos were customers take 2 drinks and say "no thanks", and order their ultra.

11 John» Ultra is my new favorite light beer - highly reccommended

11 Kimmy Jo» It's Faaabulous, I don't drink anything else!!! Oh yeah, Ole Miss Rules!!

2 Rob» If this is what low carb beer tastes like GIVE ME MY CARBS!

10 Fred» Believe it or not, my blood pressure and cholesterol levels are doing much better than a year ago. I'm drinking Michelob Ultra from here on in. Way to go Anheuser Busch!!

0 Beer Fan» Michelob ultra is probably the wost beer. It tastes like a watered down flat beer. The reason it has become a big seller is because people assume that they have to give up taste to cut the carbs. Try Aspen Edge Great Taste, low carbs

10 Peter C.» At first, I didn’t like it but I have grown to love it. Personally I would say for a long night of drinking I'd rather have a Bud Light. It’s just still the best light beer available. :)

7 johnson» not even bad

5 cooljonnyb» Heineken,delicious..150cal/120z// Michelob Light isn't bad..133cal/12// Ultra..96 cal and tastes like it..I'll skip the chips

9 weed» love it....great taste...way better than coors lite crap

10 budlightconvert» best light beer. period.

3 papajuan» love in a canoe

2 Mike» I am trying to cut down the carbs, but I think I'll cut out the spuds and pasta and drink something decent instead.

8 Barb aka Black Dog» I am a "Bud" drinker, and alot I might ad. I diet all week and then completely blow it on the weekend. Now I drink a few "Bud" and switch to "Ultra" and can't tell the difference.But if your counting carbs it helps alot !!

10 Jim» It's not bitter. I like it. It's not Kitzmann beer I drank in Germany when stationed in Erlangen, but it's good. Did I say it's not bitter & I like it.

3 South Beach Dieter» I was dying for beer after laying sod in 90-degree weather so I ordered one. It was, uh-hum, shall we say light. If this is the only excuse for beer I can drink to stay on this diet, I might as well drink diet root beer.

1 limeybeee» Coors Light is no longer the worst beer on the planet, but just wait for Aspen Edge, I can't imagine a heterosexual beer drinker asking for either Michelob Ultra or Aspen Edge!

9 maysweetie57» I normally do not like the taste of beer. I have started a low carb diet and out with the wine. This beer is very smooth and light tasting. I just bought my first 6pk yesterday!!!!

10 WAREAGLE» I Really like it.It has a pretty good alcohol content for a light beer, and you don't get that full,, bloated, lazy feeling when drinking all day.

0 Guinness for life» god-fucking-awful. if you're thinking of ordering ultra, either at the store or the bar, get water, it's the same thing but cheaper.

1 hershey squirt» It gave me runny diahreah. I examined my fecal excrement and it had small, grainy particles. After examination it was found to be barley, oats and lack of krousening that hamms used to promote.

5 TAG» I USED TO DRINK BUD LITE. I SWITCHED TO ULTA AND I CAN FEEL THE EFFECTS OF THE ALCOHOL MORE. DOES IT HAVE MORE ALCOHOL IN IT THAN BUD LITE. ANOTHER LADY FELTTHE SAME AS ME. I GET HANGOVERS ALSO.

7 Cyndee» I drink Bud Light usually. Now that I'm on Atkins and counting carbs, yes, Mich Ultra fit's the bill. Every carb does count !!!!! (If it didn't I'd be pie-eyed and happily sitting in the kitchen eating bread)

9 Michelle» I really like it & it does not give me a hangover!

8 a dancer» I dance in a local bar for tips and my customers buy me beers all night long. I can drink and not gain weight!

9 billy jo bob» no comment

9 Mike Stanton» Great for us atkins people but hard to get hold of(uk)

7 Phil» I've had better, but I've had MUCH worse. I'm actually pretty embarassed to get it at the bar because all the girls are usually drinking it, but I have no problem drinking it if it's a a party. Therefore, it gets my semi-seal of a pproval,

9 MusicMan» Good taste but I agree, it does give a bad hangover and feeling.

1 gasdaddy» nasty beer and worse hangover not a beer diluted water

11 Jenn» Great beer, I love the taste!!!

8 KennyR» Being from Scotland and an Atkins convert (36lbs in 6 months)noticed Mich Ultra on vacation in Florida, I thought it was VERY like Bud Light(which I find palatable)I have to say it's a thumbs up from me!

7 new orleans barfly» I like the beer, but it seems to give me the worst hangover.

5 mel» tastes, well OK, and if you are on a low carb diet at least you THINK you are trying to stay on it and get some beer in!! Not good but not bad.

0 Warth» Why dosen't anyone beside me care about protein content? I need a beer I can enjoy with high health concscience after I'm back from the gym. less carbs? I'm not fat. I've never drank Ultra. It's gross right?

6 bosox lover» i have drank as much bud as paul newman and ed mcmahon....its a seasons pass to the mens room but it beats Coors new Aspem product...

11 Dre» Damn good beer!

3 ironmike» Get your hands on a few cold I.C Lights(96 cal/2.8 carbs)Think you may agree it has more beer flavor than other "ultras"and it's been going strong for over 25yrs.Check out other Pittsburgh brewing brands for even more flavor

3 FourZ» It was better than drinking piss!

3 Steve from Otown» If you want Low-Carb, then try Rock Green Light. Mich Ultra is just watered down Mich Light which is just watered down Mich which is horse piss!

9 nakedguy» im 6'2 205,and i like bud light.i heard about this beer,tried it,and didnt taste much different than bud light in my opinion,in other words it kicked ass,as for this lame ass saying light beer drinkers are women,us guys are with those women

8 Racen» Love the beer but certain sporting events allow only cans to be in your cooler. Does anyone know where I can find Mich. Ultra in the can in Orlando Florida?

7 Redleg» I noticed that most bars will sell ultra for slightly cheaper... I can see why. However it is good to drink later in the night when you wallets getting flat and you're buzzed enough to not really taste it.

7 Checkster» I have dropped almost 50lbs drinking Ultra. I was a Coors drinker but this has proven itself to be good for the gut removal.

2 yellow crane» Trying to reduce calories and still drink? Liquor, straight or with zero calorie mixers, has less calories and more taste. Or you could save money by getting regular beer and adding tap water, I doubt this would taste any worse than ultra.

6 Pastor Beer Lover» No, this beer is not as good as Bud or Guiness, but for what it is, it is simply the best. Yes, I am on the Adkins diet, but to find a ultra light beer with an alcohol content of 4.1 (volume) make this Lutheran Pastor very pleased indeed.

10 Dave» I don't care what anyone else thinks, this is a great beer. Maybe it's just fun to trash talk the big boys.

7 Sam Malone» I like Ultra if its in an ice cold mug. I heard the reason its low on carbs is because its watered down. If I did not have a gut I'd drink other beers but for now, Mich Ultra will have to do.

8 Thin again» Over a period of about six months, I lost 35 pounds after I started drinking Ultra, I went from weighing 168 lbs. to 133 lbs. I'm only 5'7" so you can imagine the difference this made in my appearance. I'm sold on it.

1 chris» if michelob ultra has 96 calories, and 2.9 is carbs that would mean 11 calories from carb, you mean the rest is protein and fat then. There is nothing else. This would have to mean we can lift, drink this and gain muscle and lose fat. Ha ha ha

10 Homer» Taste great....less filling!

0 cody zimmerman» you all are fat alcoholics and will never lose your gut as long as you continue to drink beer

7 Beerlover» Better than no beer...

3 Tom Holzel» If you need to drink one bottle of something and are watching carbs, Ultra ibetter than selzer water--especially if you opo open each bottle when you buy it and let the horribly excessive fizz out of the bottle. After a day or two, the Ultra is stil

10 CG» This is a good beer! I really do like it, and i Dont adkins. Try it!

5 Rob» Tried the new Rolling Rock Green Light recently and now this beer is low on the totem pole. Green Light is a dang good low carb beer!

10 jefffrompub181(503)» I recently found out that I have diabetese,and thought I could never enjoy the taste or good feelings that a few beers gives a man. Now that I found Michalob Ultrs I can once again do all of these things again without really effecting my blood sugar

7 srl» I'm a newly diagnosed diabetic. Ultra is a bit weak, but it beats the hell out of diet Coke or ice water.

11 greg from pub 181» You can't get more macho than me. However I came down with diabetes a few years ago and had to watch the carbs. I switched to Bud Light, and now this Ultra is on tap and, for me it's great, I even like the taste.. now of light beer.

3 JoeyC» Please. This isn't exactly beer, and it's not even better than coors light. Not worth the money or effort. The first beer I've had that has absolutely no finish, good or bad. Expensive water.

6 Pablo» As an Atkins dieter, I love losing the lbs, but am having a hard time without beer. Although this beer basically sucks, I think it's better than white wine at the same carb level!

8 Bird» I've had a 6-pack in the house for over a month. Kind of an "in case of emergency" type of thing while on a diet. Finally I popped one. Anyone want 5 beers?

10 dude» Try it.

10 Murk» If you are buying this beer its for a reason....It's meant for beer lovers who dont wanna look like a beer lover...It allows me to drink as much and whenever I want without having to worry about the dreaded beer belly. And Im not on Atkins.

11 Mark» It's great ! I am low-carb and now I can have beer !!! Oh, joy !

2 Michael» This is horsepiss. Better than Miller Lite as far as piss goes. More expensive and for what?

1 dptwostep» to quote (paraphrase)monty python, how is drinking mich ultra like making love in a canoe? they're both fuc#ing close to water.

6 Lily» I have diabetes and I can drink this without shooting my blood sugar beyond bearable limits. It's darn close to drinking water, but it does provide a nice buzz for those of us who can't tolerate carbs.

7 Emma Peel» Let's not be so Neandertalish gentlemen. Our feminine gustatory and olfactory senses although much keener, share a common root. "Beer bellies" do not appeal to most civilised women. We prefer our men to be lithe, sculptured, and always, enlightened

11 BeerGuy» Its all good. I drank 28 Bud Lights saturday night and dont remember a darn thing...

0 shelx» On Atkins? Go the Miller Lite route. It tastes much better and is usually cheaper.

0 JKHCMC» I drank 8 and didnt get a buzz

4 Flamboyantrex» Dr. Atkins is dead...does that tell you anything?

10 zzzz» I can have diabetis and drink, cool!

11 bUrp» Beer rilly rilly gude

8 vertigo» For those on the Atkins Diet who have not been able to drink beer for some time, this is a welcome drink. No, it's not like the beer I used to enjoy...but it beats no beer at all.

8 Clank» Im doing atkins, so consider trying to stay under 20 carbs a day total while actually having a few beers. Ultra sure aint regular michelob, but mich lite is 11.9 carbs...

0 Coors» I gave it a try..., then I contemplated shooting myself for having wasted seven bucks on pure shit.

9 tuna» good for Atkins

10 bob» best tasting lite beer!

1 CP» Ultra is like having sex in a canoe, it's F**king near water

10 Mikele» An average of six-pack a day. It tells it all, right?

10 Joe Edgar» Why do the Ultra cans only contain 10 ounces????

2 millertime» this beer sucks ass, why drink a flavorless $7.00 6 pack when you can drink a 5.00 6 pack of Miller Lite and enjoy the taste of real beer. and its only .6 grams carbs difference

9 daryl» very tasty-and not heavy--2.6 carbs helps, too

0 Mike » I gave it a zero. I have never tasted it, but it seems to be full of dooo doo. Bud light forever baby! Real beer drinkers have enough belly to show true beer loyalty. I don't want a beer trying to tell me that I will be a bimbo if I drink it.

10 eat~drink~andB~merry» This is now my favorite light beer (adios Coors Light). Clean, consistent and no after taste.

0 Big D» Tasted OK . . . but gave me terrible gut ache and the shits the next day . . . NOT RECOMMENDED

2 Brewpilot» Very little flavor. Good to drink if your bed mate bitches about how much beer you drink. Tell her its within the Adkins diet. Only takes about a 12-pack to do the job.

9 Jc» I think it's a good beer with good taste. However, I think is more expensive than regular beer.

4 Chuggy» It gave me the runs.

0 leiniesfan» this beer lacks taste and has absolutely NO head ... in a glass its a pale yellow

9 AleMan» As an admitted beer snob I was blown away by how much I like this beer. I'm a committed Guinness drinker (I'm in Ireland regularly) and my everyday home beer is Dominion Ale (only available in VA). This stuff ain't bad for girly beer!

10 buslightisgood» the best thing out, for us non green bottle types.

11 I M Fullashitski» I love it... very refreshing and as a beer drinker I was very surprised I liked it as much as I do. I prefer the bottles.

1 beerguy» Absolutely, without a doubt, the worst excuse for a beer ever.

1 elpadrino» Tasted or smelled kind of chemically. Not sure what it was.

7 Meatdick» I love it. But the cans are a real screw job - 10oz. cans. damn things slide right of the coozies - Ive spilt more beer on the course than ever.

10 dansk14» not bad......u figure if you drink 10 of them, you are saving a lot of carbs compared to other beers....drink the good stuff at weddings and this stuff for daily drinking...

9 QB» Much, much better than I expected after having read several reviews. In fact, one of the best tasting light beers. Must be served cold. The new 10 ounce cans are neat. If you're watching your weight, you'll feel better about drinking this.

9 drinkingbuddy» not bad for light beer, swill a ton of it and no harsh reaction, I guess that defeats the purpose. All around not bad...

8 2bizee» Not my Guinness, Heiny, or even Miller Light but if you are trying the low carb lifestyle this works. It is drinkable.

7 Tim» Adequate *for what it is* and even a tad refreshing on a hot summer day when you don't want something really heavy. I could never have this be my "primary" beer but for what it is, it's really not bad.

10 Lisa» I love it! Low Carb Beer YES! This and Miller Lite make me not worry about getting fat. I want to look GREAT for you guys! Don't be so harsh on this beer, maybe not for you, but for sure us girls on Atkins LOVE IT!

1 blue ox» simply put: piss water

6 old weasel» at least it's real beer; drink it ice cold after heavy labor...... or with steak and salad on a summer night...an Atkins must have.

8 LowCarbDrunkenGirl» Not the best, but I hadn't had a drink in months since I lost 70 pounds to the low carb diet. Works for me.

11 llee» It's good,light & low carb...sound perfect to me. What's the big deal?

6 Iron Mike» No light beers taste great. I'll drink hemlock before I drink Bud Light though. 12 Ultra's = 35 carbs. 12 Bud Lights = 79. This is a no brainer. I'll take the case of Ultra, thanks.

6 MBA» It's a light beer.....what can one expect?????

10 charlie» Excellent light and low carb brew. At age 62 I've tasted a lot of different beers and Ultra definitely is a great beer. Will continue to drink this great brew.

10 Antoinette» Not too bad...usually like Heineken but this will do...now that I am on Atkins....no longer have to give up BEER!

7 Chris Steele» Pretty good... however.. for under 6 carbs.. I'll take the Guinness

1 Muckley» This stuff blows! If you want a low carb beer, try Miller Lite!

9 dan» I liked it, tastes like German beer to me, however, not nearly as strong. I'm a diabetic and this beer is just the ticket for me.

0 Julia» Water with a pale yellow ink, that's Michelob Ultra. I won't try it again, I am on Atkins Diet but I'll drink wine or a good beer now!!

9 svfd162» Nice. I've been on Atkins for almost 3 years. Nice to have a beer that cares and has a reasonable taste.

9 Bulldog» Ultra light is the answer. When I go to tailgates parties, I usually drink at least 15 beers. That would equal 99 grams of carbs if I drank Bud Light but only 43.5 grabs if I drank the Ultra. That means I can eat the chips and the brautworst.

9 LAinTX» Pure Genius! I'm also on the a low carb diet and it's nice to know I don't have to give up my beer to be on a diet. I love the taste!

10 Dave» I THOUGHT IT WENT DOWN SMOOTH AND HAD A PLEASANT TASTE. I'D DEFINATELY BUY IT AGAIN.

7 Stonent» As far as non-dark beers go, it is decent enough.

4 Derrick» if you drink enough it feels like your brain is emploding.

6 Forgotten» Light, but good. Carbs don't really mean anything to me, but I had to try it. T is right, it goes down quick and easy and doesn't blow you up.

8 frannie» I am on a lo-carb diet, and it is great to be able to have a beer and still stay with-in my carb limit!!

9 RC» Lost 40 lb.s on the stuff.

9 JTx» I liked it, really surprised how fast i could drink one. Makes a girl feel like a beer drinkin fool, without guilt!

11 fat butt» i wike it. it was cold n went down smoov...i will dwink it more.

8 moosebum@neyzero.com» why is ultra bottled in 12oz bottles and 10oz cans?

10 Paul» It only states the alcohol content in the Michelob Ultra. What are the other light beer's alcoholic contents?

10 jannyfaye» I have been completely beered-out after drinking for a vacation week and I tried this and it didn't make me feel like I wanted to urp all over

8 8: the taste is a 6 but the fact that, after drinking 4 or 5, you can watch the GoodYear blimp fly overhead at the ballgame your at without suddenly feeling like the GoodYear Blimp improves its score. This beer doesnt blow you up like an intertube.

7 mike» not that bad, but it won't give me a buzz. has not much more effect than odouls.

10 meags» OK so maybe I'm not the norm, but I love it. After being preggo or nursing for the past 6 years I barely could even swallow a beer. This went down really smooth and really quick-g-

5 Lola» Haven't tried it yet.. just wanted to go on record as saying I'd like to see Scooter piss in his own mouth.

0 Freshness» I'll give you a Whollup.

0 Scooter» This beer sucks. I might as well piss in my mouth.

0 Johnny» Rates up there with bottled urine. Give up! If you want to be a beer drinker, drink a real beer. Otherwise, if you insist on a "light" beer, go with Sam Light. Anyone with a six pack certainly hasn't really enjoyed one in a while.

10 RYGUY» Great test, better than any other light beer. packs a whollup after about 15 of them

2 Kim» I gave it a 2 because it does have alcohol in it. That's the only plus, besides that you can drink one in 2 minutes. This beer is for college girls who want to lose the freshman 15 but go to too many frat parties. Yuck.

8 chris» I am currently on the atkins diet and am really trying to cut excess weight. The problem is, I want to get hammered every once in a while, too, but w/o the carbs. 2.9 and 5.2 aren't that different, unless you times it by 10 brews, then it adds up.

8 Ed» Has pretty good taste for an ULTRA light beer and has the full alcohol volume versus Amstel Light that cuts back alcohol to make its low carb and calorie claim. I'd pick this over a skunky Amstel Light any day. Better than a Miller Light or Coors Light, but still behind Bud Light in taste.

1 If I am going to waste calories on beer...it won't be this beer! blehck....

2 Grack» Tried it last night, 5/15/03. Tasted like someone spilled some beer in a bottle of water. I'll not buy any more.

10 WitchDr» I'm with beahman - I've lost a whole lot of weight on Atkins, and this beer is a God send. BTW, O'Suds is wrong about ketosis and alcohol. Even Atkinsceter has recently allowed "sugar alcohol" (i.e. the same stuff!). Alcohol has NO glycemic level.

11 meg» Its my favorite beer... I usually chose hard alcohol but I can drink this all night and not feel full.. good for games where you have to chug..low carbs are just a bonus

2 O' Suds» It's not just the carbs that count. Anyone who has read Atkins book knows that alcohol kills the ketosis and that is why the no or low carb diets work. Even a beer with a low 2.9 grams of carbs,(Same as 2 hot dogs) won't help. Sorry!

6 wino» So I was taught that Mich was all malt, no rice or corn adjunct. Don't know if that's true. Likewise, I've always believed that AB (and Coors) products were naturally krausened rather than CO2 injected (Miller et al).

7 Bob» Low-carb dieters don't have to necessarily drink low-carb beers. Go to www.drinkbeergetthindiet.com for more info.

8 blondie» Not so sure it goes with the Atkins diet yet. Cannot find the glycemic index, which is very important to losing weight. But you can drink all night and not feel full. Definately a ladies beer.

7 the silverback» Good taste, and every carb counts.

0 Elvis» "It's not beer, it's Michelob." Damn right it's not beer.

0 buckmudbone» this beer?.......suuuuuucccckkkkkkss!!!!

7 MaTTeR» Not bad bad but not great. Definitely a more watered down taste than Coors Light or Miller Lite.

10 beahman» Not bad for a low carb beer, yes its watery somewhat but hey its low carb wayyyyy better than coors light and i can have a beer. Its definatly geared towards the atkins crowd which i am now a member of and LOSING weight everyday. So i rate it high.

8 Steve» If you are a low-carb person like myself, this is a god-send! Otherwise, don't bother.

4 Guinness Girl» Tried one last night. It HAS to be very cold. Give me a Guinness any day. All others pale in comparison

6 strickster» Not bud but great with the atkins diet

11 NPR Man» Great!

5 Axle» It's if your on the Atkin's Diet. It's better than nothing.

4 Antwan Jackson» Drink good beer and excercise., in the long run it wont make a difference.

0 Jtown» This tastes like someone didn't wash out their glass after drinking an ale, and you made the mistake of using it for your soda water. About halfway into it, you stop to ask yourself, "does this taste like beer?!?" Finally, it's happened. A PC beer.

1 Luis» If you are too worried about developing a belly, don't drink. This beer does not have a taste, you will still need to drink a half dozen before getting a buzzz, and develop the belly anyways.... better ways to enjoy a fine beer!

7 girliegirl» When I really want a beer it's the next best thing to water when you're on the Atkins Diet . . . drinkin those lbs. away . . .

1 mmk» this crap makes Coors Light taste like a real beer

2 Slick68» I bought a 6-pack, iced them down, opened one and took a swig. I rose from my chair, approached the humbling throne of porcelain, and poured them all down the path to oblivion.

11 JED» awesome but I like COORS lite and hate the garbage most people here like and I am no longer a fat slob like most of yall

0 Pounder» If you're looking for a cold beverage on a hot day, try water -- it tastes MUCH better.

9 Beerasaur» I tell you, the ultra isn't bad. Definitely good as a cool bevie for a hot day. I'm not watching my waistline, but I still like it.

5 bobee37» not bad for a low carb beer but it doesn't go with everything

1 texascarl» Sour taste. If on the Atkins diet, I'd choose Miller Lite over this (3.2 carbs vs. 2.9 carbs) but you're MUCH better off with a Guiness or Beamish on Atkins. ~ 5 carbs per glass for dry stout, and it's really beer. Skip Ultra, men diet w/Guiness.

8 william» Not the best, but I've lost 35 pounds on Atkins and at my goal weight of 185- I'm 6'1. So Ultra it is!!

2 Dave» I rank it up with PBR and Busch. Also, it is worse than Miller Lite.

0 Tony» This stuff is even worse than Miller Lite--something I never would have thought possible.

3 BizSAR» Good "lawn-mowin'" beer, like Coors light. Good on a hot day in the sun, but that's about it. :p

0 Tha DPK» Complete... utter filth.

1 Muntz» I thought Miller Lite was the botom of the barrel. I stand corrected.

1 kenith» as good of a reason to quite drinking as any.

9 "Butts"» I hear you folks. Its a little weak. However, since when did we stop at one. After 5 or 6 they all taste the same. This means I've made room for another four beers to pound down and you folks will be whimping out on me at 5. I will be tossing mo

1 shark» This was a good, tasteless brew to mix with uncarbonated fresh homebrew for t

9 Hooters» Best light beer I ever had...my rating is ranking this beer against it's competitors, not "real" beers.

6 Fratty McDrinksolot» For those of us at Camp (insert college name) this is great pounding beer. I'm sorry water is just easier to chug

5 nightputter» Not horrible...it had a distinctive flavor and I'm not sure that's good or bad, but it certainly tasted different then most beers. OK to try, but wouldn't go out of my way to buy it.

4 Nytro » Tried it. When the case is done...NO MORE!!

0 BeerGeek» Borrowed a sip from a friend -ack! More body & mouth-feel in a glass of tapwater. Truth in advertizing laws suggest this stuff shouldn't be labeled as "Beer" in the first place.

1 AJColes» I'm hoping that I don't have to actually drink this to comment. Don't think I can bring myself to do it. I am a cyclist that is quite fit & I look for a beer that has more carbs & calories. Guess Anheuser-Busch don't know about carbo-loading.

0 jimbob » Makes coors light taste like youngs or guiness, this shit is swill, no wonder all I see are chicks and queers drinking it! My $.02

0 Raoul Duke» This is not beer, this is not even a fair imitation of beer. If the rifle-dropping candy-assed surrender-monkey cowardly stinking french made beer this is what it would taste like.

0 fatnut» Glad to see you added zero... does this thing do negative numbers?

0 STEVE» Halfway decent spring-water. Any beer that you can read the paper through is'nt really beer.

0 maestro» not quite enough flavour to even be called 'near beer'. Total rubbish - might be considered a little strong, but accurate. argh!!

0 Tony Paone» I'm not even going to taste the shit. since the advent of coors lt, i dont know, the last 10-15 years, I have had no more than 10 coors lights. as you described ultra, seltzer w/a twist of corn. that's where it needs to go, in AB's cornhole

1 Eddmo » I tred this beer when it test marketed in Florida.What a waste of cooler space.

1 Wapner» My Aquafina has more flavor...

1 Gonzo» Had it at the A-B brewery before debut & thought it was horrible. Another bland marketing gimmick.

1 Kevin» too light and devoid of taste to even be considered "piss water"

1 Nick» I give this water a zero.

1 Jim» Hey! There's no - 0 -! More mass produced SWILL. Was going to write more but I think that's enough said.

4 Beer Me» A fair description of this beer. And once again David, a funny and informative article that taught me something.
