Dec 29, 2008 Ah a beer Ive been wanting to rate, after talking about wanting to rate a damn cheap 12oz, during our tasting, Tim LagunitasFan goes to 7-11 for smokes and presents this to me. Damn glad I didnt have to buy it. Pours copper with a bright white ring. Nose has some malty but sucks. Taste is ok, but no good. Given the option of a shotgun to the head, this, and a regular bud, Id take this but, the shotgun sounds like a good second choice.

Dec 28, 2008 Surprisingly good. Given the justifiably woeful reputation of regular Bud, I held little hope for this. But this is a good, nice aroma of citrusy cascade hops with some sweetness. Pour is rusty red with off white reddish head. Flavour is malt sweetness with some toffee and stonefruit notes that finishes with a pleasent bitterness.

Dec 28, 2008 On tap. Actually a pretty good beer. You gotta hand it to AB, they nailed this style. Although there is no real aroma, the color is spectacular. Easy to drink and tasty. I could drink this all day on a hot weekend.

Dec 28, 2008 Updated: Mar 8, 2009Wow, a product from Anheuser that is actually worth drinking! It isnt amazing, but this is actually drinkable. Overly carbonated (A-B trademark), decent amber ale, kind of bland but did have enough of a caramel malt to call it worthy.

Dec 27, 2008 Picked up a 22 oz of this at a 7-11 in West Point, VA, under the shadows of the paper mill. Not a twist off to my surprise. Clear amber, OK head. Aroma of light malt and some citric hops. Flavor matches. A bit on the thin side in the body, but a decent grapefruit accented hop finish. Not a bad beer overall.

Dec 26, 2008 From a bottle, pours a nice amber color with a medium sized, off-white head. Goes down smooth and actually has a hoppy finish (something that NEVER happens in a Bud product). Very surprised by this one, a very drinkable beer.

Dec 26, 2008 Pours clear amber, light tan head that lingers a little. Smells like malt, a little caramel. Light to medium malt body, finishes with some light bittering hops. Generally pretty clean and light for an ale. I will not seek it out, but would drink this over most other US macro brews

Dec 25, 2008 Bottle. Amber color. Nice off white head with decent retention. Good lacing. Somewhat sweet aroma. Much better then expected. Not huge flavor, but very pleasant. Smooth & crisp, very easy drinking. One of the better AB beers I have ever had.
