PerfectDraft Budweiser 6L Keg

One of the biggest surprises on the PerfectDraft machine, this 4.5% version brewed in Germany under licence really breaks the rules. It does taste like Bud but sort of a pure, clean, German version. It's good, really, really good.

I was really looking forward to this one but must say was left feeling rather flat. Taste was excellent but I was disappointed with the lack of fizz. If your not bothered by the lack of fizz and just happy with the taste it’s a must.

If you like Bud in the bottle then you'll love it on draught. Had a keg of Bud as a Christmas present, wouldn't normally buy it for myself but it was nice enough on the PD.

This is your typical Budweiser goes well in a keg

Not your bottle or canned Bud, just a perfect pint like in the states

Without a doubt the best Budweiser I have had, beats the pubs and bottle.

Superb, thank you Beer Hawk.
Best present EVER !!!

Great Quality and fast shipping

Not normally a bud drinker but tasted better than out of a bottle. Nice and light lager

Much nicer than the bottled stuff but goes way too quickly!

I know some people aren't fans of Bud but personally I find this a fantastic, easy to drink, lager. Tastes just like it does in the pub. Fantastic.

Just like a pint from the pub

If you like your bud you will like this.Went a bit flat towards the end but still a great taste

Horrible beer save your money tastes worse than the bottles. No fizz almost flat, tastes watered down and dead.

This was flat and not much fizz, but looking at other reviews this may be normal. Not really impressed.

Ordered two when I first got the machine. I found it a tasty lager with plenty of fizz. Would order it again.

Can't say I was overly impressed with this. Not much flavour to it and not much fizz, granted not much fizz in Bud from a pub but was still disappointed.

This was my first keg I got with my PD. Got a keg of Stella and Goose IPA to try so hoping they're better!

Definitely could not tell the difference between this and bottled Bud. Will order again.

Not the best for me, didn't taste right on draught

Got this for my wife as she loves Bud, think she may of had couple of halves before I drank it all. Great lager nice and crisp.

First glass out of the keg was flat, but it livened up after that.

Not my first choice for a beer, but find that having Bud on tap does an ok job of keeping a crowd of varying tastes satisfied.

I love a cold bottle of bud and was excited how this would taste . Always seemed flat and had no life in it . Hopefully in the future this will taste as it should !

Drink a lot of bud and was hoping that there was going to be a great difference. although i still loved the beer i didnt think that it was any better than bottles...as per other reviews felt a bit flat, but when you get this in a pub it is also flat.

I have recently had a coupe of these kegs, now I don’t enjoy drinking Bud from a bottle, but actually preferred it from a keg and it does taste a lot better then from a bottle all day long. I did find that after about 20 days or so it did start to get a little flat, but overall a nice decent lager and again I have purchased another so it’s definitely a decent pint.

Nice easy to drink lager but too flat for my liking needs more fizz.

This is the best bud I have had in the UK, the PD machine really does pour a lovely pint. Crisp, clean taste and refreshing to the last

Nice light beer. If one critiscm it did not hold its fizz for long once in glass.

This seems to me to be more like the draft bud you get in the states, not as fizzy but still fantastic taste, highly recommend.

Budweiser tastes great better than what they serve in the pubs. Will definitely order again and I recommend the keg to anyone who likes Budweiser.

Excellent keg tastes even better on perfect draft than in a bottle.

Excellent service and Speedy delivery. Excellent beer!!

My husband did want really like Budweiser in bottles but I got him this keg for the World Cup and he loved it tastes so much better in draft

I'm a bud lover but was dissiponted with this it was too flat and not as nice as out of a bottle. I found the stella much nicer

Did a tour of the brewery in St Louis earlier this year so was pleased to see bud on the PD. Found it to be gorgeous though a little lively, unlike others who have said it is a bit flat. Try using a bud glass with the etched pattern on the inside of the base. That peps it up. A light refreshing pint, will be ordering more

Fresh and light , love this in perfect draft form unfortunately so does my girlfriend

We have alsager like bud on draft, but never been particularly keen on bud in cans or bottles. This is great and nothing like the bud in cans or bottles very similar to the bud in draft the only problem we have is throughout summer it’s been very tempting to have a quick half as perfectly chilled bud in draft is dangerous. Great taste, smooth and not too gasey.

Such a great beer on draft goes down easy my new favourite

Classic crisp bud taste not flat at all must have been a poor batch.
Did you know one of the Bud ingredients is rice!
As usual Bud is dangerous because it is so easy to drink allied (ailed) to the falling down bit at the end. Very pleasant
I had a keg of Kwak immediately after; not all of it you understand sublime to the ridiculous or vice versa.
All in all a very social beer and all types of people seem to like it

Looks like Bud, tastes like Bud - it must be Bud. Nice beer for a summers day but like many have said it tends to go flat quickly. There are better choices in the PD range

Better than cans or bottles nice and chilled in the pd

agree with a lot of the other reviews. Quite flat. I'll go back to the Lowenbrau

This is the first keg I’ve tried with my PD. Compared to bottled bud this has a much smoother taste and less gassy creating an even better tasting classic beer. Will order again at some point but have lots of other great draft beers to try first!

Ordered my PD as a bundle came with 2 Kegs Budweiser, the beer itself is far better than out of a bottle but it was rather flat not much fizz.
Don't let this put anyone off buying great taste never the less.

Amazing budweiser taste, go for a half or three quarter pint glass, pint still tastes ok but doesn't look as active although tastes great, excellent delivery and collection of empties by yodel honestly cant fault it would highly recommend every man cave needs one, Andy

I had this as a bundle with my PD, 2 kegs Bud, Glasses and PD. The Bud glasses that came with it although nice don't suit the beer as they make it look and taste a bit flat. Used a Korev Glass which has the etching on the bottom and it was fine. So would I buy again, probably not for a while but next summer, maybe. If you like Bud, don't let people put you off as it is fine.

I don’t normally drink lager but it is nice on a hot day. It’s not as lively as the becks but I think I prefer it. It’s something I will choose when the weather suits. Refreshing and easy.

Beer was great when first poured but shortly after went flat.
Service from beer hawk was great and agreed to a full refund on return.

Tastes so much better than drinking it from a bottle and the draft machine keeps it a lot colder. Deffo one of my faves.

Brilliant taste with a good “fizz” to it. It’s great to have this on tap now. Will be ordering more. Great tasting beer.

Not bad but not better than from a can, its not awful but I wont be ordering again.

Much better on draft than out a bottle. Would buy again.

Great summer drink. Light refreshing and we all know the taste. 4 kegs sunk already!

We are new to this Perfect Draught and normally only a John Smiths drinker, I don't mind Lager when abroad but lager in the UK not to my taste. BUT and its a BIG BUT I was pleasantly surprised with this keg of Budweiser 1st of the 2 that arrived not too bad a pint, cant wait now to try some of the other beers

Bud is bud. If u like bud you will like this pours good in a fosters glass struggles in others but refreshing on a hot day but not my go to choice

This was a favourite of mine some years back but since trying many of the world's best brews this is now resigned to the back bench. Tried it when it appeared in the pd stable to see if they could better it but no it's not got a patch on lowenbrau and co. Now can pd persuade the anchor brewery to add their steam brew?? That would be awesome

There are great beers and then there’s Budweiser!!! PerfectDraft have excelled getting this beer into their kegs.

King of beers lovely pint on a sunny day ice cold poured out of perfect draft machine not grassy just perfect if you like bottles or cans of bud you will love this out of the keg.

I was very pleased to see bud added to the range and it didn't disappoint.as someone has already said best drunk in half pint glasses, a very refreshing clean tasting beer not like the bottles but like the tap as I remember it in the states. A very welcome addition to the perfect draft range which will be on my next order.

Very nice beer wife loves it to

Great to see bud added to the PD
Enjoyed my first keg will order again

To be fair Budweiser is the same as at a bar it never has been the most lively of beers but it don’t help in the glasses without a widgets. Its as good as a bar in the Phillips perfect draught machine, if you like Bud then you’ll be more than satisfied ????????

When I saw Bud on Perfect Draft I wasn't going to order it but as I'd gone through everything else I thought I would give it a try. What a fantastic surprise, a 4.5% version that's so smooth, more like a sweet German pils than normal Bud, I have re-ordered already. Buy it, it's great. Steve

Bud isn't the gassiest of beers but in the PerfectDraft keg, it was verging on the flat. It's the first time I'd say you'd be better off buying bottles. Out of all the kegs I've tried, this was the most disappointing.

King of larger if you like bud in a bottle you will love this out of the keg not as gassy a lot nicer perfect on sunny day with a barbecue.

Really fresh and smooth. Great taste kegged that you don't get from the bottle.
At 4.5% can drink it all night

Bought a keg to see what it was like, not very strong at 4.5% so ideal if you're looking for a light drink, not in my top 5 but will still re-order from time to time. Not a bad beer but there's just others available that are better. Good to see a big name added to the PD list though.

Unfortunately I bought four kegs. Now half way though the second keg and bought a nucleated glass in an effort to get some life into it. This did nothing to improve it. Disappointed

I'm a fan of Bud anyway so I knew I'd like but it was much better than I expected. It pours with a good foamy head but don't expect lot of bubbles. I find the bottles very gassy but this is much different and so much better. It makes it so much easier to drink and very refreshing.
If you're looking for a nice chilled out beer to drink without worry of a hangover this is the Keg for you.

Bought a keg to see what it was like. Pleasant enough, loses it's head fairly quickly. Found it better served in half pints. Not a lot of flavour for me compared to the excellent lager range on offer on the PD. If you like Bud in a bottle then you'll like this, as it's very similar although not as gassy.

Budweiser in the PD pours a light amber with a bright white head. It's a great lager to enjoy on warm summer day or watching sports.

It's Bud on tap. What more can I say. A crisp, refreshing lager.

Don't compare this to the bottles or cans, this tastes as fresh as it does in a bar if you are lucky enough to find one with Bud on draft. Would definitely recommend.

1st keg on my perfect draft OH MY WORD!!! AMAZING!! Equal to any pub anywhere! This was at 5 degrees on the machine can’t wait for 3 degrees !! The first couple were a little lively but with beautiful creamy head spose also got to master the pour! I WILL DEFFINETLY ORDER MORE OF THIS and try some others !! Look forward to the 4 for 3 ! Can’t believe how good it is !! The wife also very happy which is a major plus point good times !!

Love Bud, but this is sublime. I bit lively to pour vut wirth tue little wait. Thanks Beerhawk!

Always loved bud especially on draft but pubs seem not to stock it and the perfect draft does not disappoint a great pint especially on a hot day

Served at the perfect temp. these kegs wont last long

Budweiser was the first beer I tried on the Perfect Draft. Unlike others, I'm not really a beer "connoisseur". Any lager generally goes down well for me. Although I have no problems with the taste of the bud in the keg, it just seems to be very flat, even the head disappears after a couple of minutes. I also tried a nucleated glass on the second occasion to see if it would create more of a fizz, but still no luck. So all in all I regret buying 4 kegs of it as I now wish I tried some others

As bud goes its ok much better than the cans and bottles but not as nice as the other lagers on sale

Absolutely love this beer, when visiting the US I always drink it but have failed to find a UK pub that sells it tasting the same, its usually always too fizzy and tastes like its watered down. However the PD version is just like the US one . Lovely and smooth and very quaffable . well definitely be ordering more when these kegs have gone which im guessing won't be long

possibly an unfair review as ive not tried this yet but have been a big drinker of bud in the past and thought "ooooo" when i seen this.just read the description and got to say im very disappointed to see its only 4.5%.whats happened to the 5% stuff. it states "the king of beers" but your getting something which really isn't much more than a carling and at £30 a pop i will probably give it a miss.
