Hate to say it, but this stuff ain’t bad. Amber color, caramel malts, some legitimate Cascade hops, and not that macro-ish. I honestly never thought I’d be giving a Buttweiser product a rating this high, but here I am. Congrats, guys - you actually brewed an average beer!

Wont go into too much detail. Better than Bud’s traditional offerings. Nice try for a huge brewer like AB. Could only finish one out of a 6 pack, the rest were poured out.

At Sammy’s in Raleigh, in a frosted glass. Pours coper, amber, with a fizzy white head. Looks good. That’s where the fun stops. Smells maltless, some grain in aroma. Tastes watery, toasted malts, very unbalanced. Not nasty, just not very good.

Tried it to see if a macro could make a nice ale, I was wrong, still one sitting in the frig if anyone wants it.

Pours a reddish amber with a nice thick off white head. Light citrus hop and malt aroma, pleasant. Taste is malty with citrusy bitter hop flavor. The flavors are not very bold, in fact, I found it a bit generic. I think they ahd the right idea, but just didn’t go anywhere with it.

Bright red amber in color with a small off-white head. Aroma is of light hop and malts. Taste is the same...not a lot to it.

Rating #400. On draft at the Fox and Hound, KOP. Poured clear copper with slight white head. Weird, astringent hop flavor. Definitely not typical of a APA that is supposedly brewed with Cascades. Tasted more like an EPA. Not sure if this beer just sucks (probably) or maybe there was soap residue in my glass (possibly). I may give this one more shot in the future.

clear copper with light but persistent head... fresh smells of hops with some fruit , surprisingly strong.. this fruity hoppy smell carries over into the taste, very clear and refreshing... its strongly carbonated and refreshing... usually i dont think much of budweiser products, but this is a good refreshing casual beer
