\"Hardee\u2019s<\/a><\/p>\n

From the same folks who gave you sandwiches doused in bourbon and moonshine infused sauce comes Hardee\u2019s\/Carl\u2019s Jr.\u2019s latest alco-hamburger, the All-Natural Budweiser Beer Cheese Bacon Burger. <\/p>\n

From the get-go, it\u2019s a much less ambitious burger than we\u2019re used to from the chain – lest we forget, this is the same brand that once sold us a sandwich topped with <\/a>a split weenie and a handful of potato chips. <\/p>\n

\"Hardee\u2019s<\/a><\/p>\n

The non-deluxe versions come with a charbroiled beef patty topped with a sliver of Swiss cheese and a hearty dollop of caramelized onions and thick coating of the eponymous Bud cheese, which I\u2019d describe as a sweet nacho cheddar blend with a sugary hops and barley aftertaste (and before you ask, no, you can\u2019t get loaded eating a small mountain of burgers). On top of that you\u2019ve got your customary lettuce and tomato slices, with a cameo appearance by two fairly salty strips of bacon. The whole shebang is shoved into a brioche bun, which has a distinct honey-kissed flavor that gels incredibly well with the Cheese-weiser sauce. <\/p>\n

\"Hardee\u2019s<\/a><\/p>\n

As you\u2019d imagine, it\u2019s a pretty messy meal. Just removing the top bun guarantees at least a splash<\/em> of cheese sauce is going to spatter on the table, but the impromptu Gallagher performance is easily forgiven considering how filling<\/em> the burger is. The solo patty version pretty much immobilized me for a good half hour, so I can only imagine the severity – and satisfaction – of the after-effects of the double patty permutation or the 1\/3-pounder Black Angus Thickburger. <\/p>\n

Your mileage will vary on the saccharine nature of the burger dressings, though. An hour after eating my burger I still<\/em> had a pronounced honey wheat hangover in the back of my throat, and be forewarned, when the beer cheese fully congeals, it becomes almost as sweet as cake frosting. <\/p>\n

Overall, though, I really enjoyed the chain\u2019s latest brew-burger. It strikes a very nice balance of savory, smoky and sugary without any one flavor becoming too dominant. As long as you can handle a little umami with your ale – and you\u2019re not averse to a strong<\/em> sucrose sensation from time to time – I\u2019d say this Bud\u2019s definitely<\/em> for you.<\/p>\n

Purchased Price:<\/b> $5.59 (single patty)
\nSize:<\/b> N\/A
\nRating:<\/b> 7 out of 10
\nPros:<\/b> Very filling. A nice medley of flavors that are surprisingly harmonious. Being able to literally chew Budweiser.
\nCons:<\/b> An unexpectedly prolonged sugar rush; being forced to eat it with a fork to keep cheese from glomping to your fingers. Still having to wait for a Heineken-flavored chicken sandwich.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
