The Tasting Table team evaluated various non-alcoholic beers, notably Budweiser Zero, launched in 2020. Although Bud Zero has appealing marketing and ingredients, its flavor disappoints, offering a chemical-like aftertaste and lacking depth. While it may suit calorie-conscious drinkers, many alternative options provide a more enjoyable alcohol-free experience. The goal was to find NA beers that maintain taste and quality, contrasting Bud Zero’s shortcomings with better-performing brands that don't sacrifice the drinking experience.
Presented side-by-side to an original Bud, the non-alcoholic version and the original are difficult to tell apart based on appearances alone.
Cans of Budweiser Zero are fermented and sweet while delivering an aftertaste that we quite frankly wished would disappear much more quickly.
Yes, the flavor is dense, but we can't say it is any kind of depth we'd like to experience with repeated sips or for a prolonged period of time.
If you're looking for a better tasting alcohol-free brew that provides a pleasant drinking experience without any buzz, you have plenty of other options.
