Beer Review: Budweiser Magnum
Budweiser Magnum | Copyright: Gigglewater411
If you’ve read my previous post then you know that Anheuser-Busch InBev launched Budweiser Magnum in Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore and Hyderabad yesterday. It is available in Mumbai at Rs. 150 for 650ml and Rs. 80 for a pint of 330ml.
After trying and failing to acquire a bottle at three local liquor stores (in Andheri West – Mumbai), I finally managed to get my hands on one. Here’s what I thought of it:

I should admit at the onset that I’m not the biggest lover of Indian strong beers; I find most of them undrinkable. Having said that Budweiser Magnum is surprisingly smooth, crisp and easy to drink.
- Appearance is clear and a golden yellow
- Thick white head, good retention and good lacing
- Medium carbonation
- Rice adjuncts and well-balanced hops cuts the bitterness that I find in most Indian strong beers.
- ABV – below 8% is what it says behind the bottle. Kapil Agarwal, CEO AB InBev India was quoted saying, “Inspired by, and created for trendsetters and ambitious aspirers, MAGNUM is a super premium brew at 6.5% ABV.”
And though this might not be very relevant to most, my final test when it comes to beer is this – will I get through more than three sips, if the beer isn’t chilled? Magnum manages to pass.
So next time I pick a beer to drink, will Magnum be it? Probably not, but amongst the Indian strong beers (above 5% ABV) I’ve tasted so far, I would most likely choose Budweiser Magnum despite it being more expensive (Carlsberg’s Elephant is Rs. 135 for 650ml).
What do you think?
Does the beer cause gaseousness,feeling of heaviness in the tummy?
I find that the Indian beers and some of the great foreign ones have this difference.
Thanks for the opinion.
not much of a beer drinker..i generally stick to carlsberg or heineken if i have no other choice but to drink beers!!

Worst beer ever tested by me money waste
This is 2021 and folks like me still love this beer, since 2012 i guess.! This tastes best, this gives a nice mellow high, is very nice accompanied with fried / tandoori chicken or fish, and is good company among frnds.
In Assam magnum beer 500ml is 1
70rs. Though costly compared to other beers, this is lovely to drink. Realy enjoy the taste … Can’t move to another beer, though B magnum is expensive to the common standards.
