Budweiser American Ale

Bottle in Stockholm at Beer and Whisky Festival. Miles better than regular Bud, but nothing special. Pours amber with white head. Has decent caramel notes and some citrus.

Draft. Pours a golden color with a white foamy head. Nose is lightly hoppy with a toasty, biscuity malt note. Palate is quite full, much more then I expected and has a stickiness to it. Flavor is light grassy hops with a sweet caramel malt note and a toastiness.

Draft at Pizza Pazza in Tampa. Clear deep amber pour. Aroma shows malt and slight hops. The mouthfeel goes deeper into the hops along with a nice smooth finish.

Orangish-amber body, moderately effervescing under a holding, off-white head. Odd but not off-putting aroma of malts and vegetals with light mineral and herbs (I’m reminded of the days when I was harvesting all the Czech and Russian brews in the area). Stale caramel flavor with a balance of grasses and herbs. Mid-bodied, but the aftertaste does not last long. I’m left confused, and it’s not because I’m dissing A/B. For a beer that’s labeled "American Ale", this came off as a better than average European Strong Lager... or maybe a decent Bock? Maybe I’m losing it. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Recently, at a friend’s BBQ, probably the last one of the season.

From a draft at a sports bar. Clear brown color. Not too bad. Some hops, corn, malts. Not bad.

Not too bad for an AB product, but it’s still AB! Has a clear golden brown color. Aroma is of malts, corn, and very slight hops. Taste is pretty much the same. It’s kind of like a bold bud.

The American Ale is not bad; however, it is not all that great, but I do enjoy this beer once and a while depending on my mood. The beer is somewhat hoppy, good color and a tad under rated due to the Anheuser name, I would assume.

A better offering from anheuser, but thats not saying much. i decided to give it a chance and wish i hadnt. tastes watered down, as do most of thier products. bought a six pack(bottled) drank 2 and the rest have sat in my fridge for a month
