beerbill (1917), Laurel, New York, USA Mar 15, 2009 12 oz. bottle. Pours a crystal clear reddish amber with a moderate off-white head that lasted until mid-glass and left partial lace. Scant aroma of malt with no hops detected at all. The malt in the flavor is much more noticeable than in the aroma, but lacks any depth and fades quickly. Its not offensive in any way, just short-lived. Light hops bitterness at the finish. rwaters (27), Anchorage, Alaska, USA Mar 14, 2009 Pours an amber brown with a small offwhite head. Light aroma of malt/hops. Taste is somewhat watery with malt and light hop flavor - no offensive flavor, thin. gator2683 (133), Anchorage, Alaska, USA Mar 14, 2009 clear brownish amber with off white head. caramel malt aroma with a very faint flowery smell. taste is thin and malty, but also pretty smooth. mattmc1973 (300), Sterling Heights, Michigan, USA Mar 11, 2009 Had in a restaurant. Is an red/amber color with frothy off-white head. Aroma of cereal malt, light hops. Taste is very similar to Sam Adams Boston Lager, a bit toasty with faint hops. Medium bodied and decent carbonation. Better than Bud, decent. Nik925 (300), California, USA Mar 11, 2009 The Daivs Co-Op sells singles, and beers were 11% off today, so I was willing to spend a $1.02 to try this out. It is interesting, it shows, due to the head, color, and lacing, that Budweiser - In-Bev knows how to brew good beers, but, due to the flavor and aroma, refuse to do so. You even need to use the bottle opener on this one, Bud is really trying to sell this as fancy. A perfectly made crappy beer, exactly what you expect from the worlds brewing juggernaut. talon1117 (612), Bellvue, Colorado, USA Mar 11, 2009 Pours a clear, reddish-amber color with an average, yellowish, rocky head which settles in a timely manner and leaves minimal lace. Nose is very faint with some toasted caramel, cereal, citrus hops, and a touch of grassy hops. Flavor is faintly sweet with sweat notes, and a light grassy bitterness. Palate is light, watery, lively, and thin. Finishes quickly with bitter sweat. There is so little flavor, the middle of flavor progression almost tatses like soda water. "Robust flavor" is hardly the way I would describe it. It’s no Budweiser, but not much better. ben4321 (952), Rockville, Maryland, USA Mar 9, 2009 Location: Tap at a Chili’s, Fall ’08
Overall Impression: Had this on draft for the first time after I’d seen quadruple digit commercials, not bad tho, better then expected, even if they advertise it like it has to be given away.
Capa (952), Yokosuka, Japan Mar 8, 2009 Grassy with light citrus hops and a slight malt aroma on this crystal clear amber beer. Flavor has some lemon and citrus in it but overpowered by the grass. I can’t agree with those who say this tastes like normal Budweiser, it tastes like a mediocre amber ale. Nothing more, nothing less.
