Budweiser, known as the King of Beers, was introduced to Americans in 1876. A light-bodied lager, Budweiser is more refreshing than flavorful. According to Randy Mosher’s book “Tasting Beer: An Insider's Guide to the World's Greatest Drink”; Budweiser offers an effervescent, golden appearance that tastes of rice and apple with aromas of hay.
