The original Busch contains 133 calories and 10.2 g of carbohydrates per 12-oz. serving. Each serving also contains an alcohol content of 4.6 percent per volume.

Busch Light

Busch Light has a significant drop in calories compared with the original Busch and doesn't suffer much of a loss in alcohol percentage. With 95 calories and only 3.2 g of carbohydrates, each 12-oz. serving still has a 4.1 percent alcohol content.

Busch Ice, like all ice beers, contains a higher alcohol content but at the cost of higher calories, more carbs and a harsher taste. One 12-oz. serving of Busch Ice contains 169 calories, 12.5 g of carbohydrates and and alcohol content of 5.9 percent.
