Nov 10, 2009 Pours amber color with off white head. Malty aroma with some grassy hops. Flavor is mildly sweet caramel malts with a touch of bitter hops and some soapiness. Light to medium body with average carbonation. Not great, but better than I was expecting.

Nov 8, 2009 Tasting at local Budverage Center, appropriately in plastic cup served by Bud Bimbos. At first I told them no thanks, but then I realized I can use the ratings without actually paying for them, and I can tell them what I think of the fine products. Copper with ring. Gum, caramel and glue aroma. Very mild toasted caramel watery brown sugar with a tease of hop finish. An ale only a Bud drinker could love.

Nov 7, 2009 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.

Nov 3, 2009 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.

Nov 1, 2009 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.

Oct 31, 2009 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.

Oct 25, 2009 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.
