When cold, it smells very nice - hops, sweet malt, wow! Pours perfectly clear amber-brown with a half inch of uneven white head, great Taste is very clean, sweet roasted malt, light and linger cascade hop bitterness. Very pleasant and refreshing, but not complex, and gets much worse as it warms Palate - light and refreshing This is surprisingly good. It does not have much depth, but it is very enjoyable and excellent for the price. It is sessionable like crazy. I almost rated this much higher, but it really gets worse as it warms.

Bottled. Hell, this aint too bad. I just had a 36th percentile micro amber and it was far, far worse [Wasatch]. The pour is a crystal clear auburn red. Biscuity with sweet malts, a minor bit of cheap hops here and there. Easy drinking though with no noticeable flaws, other than it being really boring. If I went to a party and this was all they had I would hardly complain.

Bomber - Poured a reddish amber in color with a small white head. Aroma is medium of spicy hops. Flavor is medium of hops with some malt to back it up. Finish is medium bitter. Much better than I expected... not too bad, really. I would certainly choose this AB-InBev product over the rest of what they make.

12oz bottle from Specs on December 14, 2008. This has an extremely orange-amber... and highly carbonated at that. Why... oh, why... Had a head for a few seconds. Gone now. Looks like slimy soap now. This does NOT have the appearance factor going for it in my opinion. Aroma is sweet, malty, surprising for something labeled Budweiser. Flavor not half bad... caramel... basically, a light amber with no character. Not much of a finish. A few seconds after each sip my mouth feels like it hasnt been drinking at all. All in all, definitely something to bridge the gap between piss beer and real beer... but still piss in my book. But what else would you expect from a macro? For a macro, pretty damn good.

Nice amber body with some good hops, thin head on my draft brew. Better than most AB beers. A good mainstream choice.

Nowhere near as bad as I had supposed it would be, but also not particularly good. Coppery pour with a solid enough head that fades very quickly. Flavor is predominately a caramel malt taste with a tiny backing of hops and some definite astringency issues. All in all though, not an awful beer and hopefully this starts some sort of trend.

Bottle poured to glass. Copper, redish brew with a rich 2 finger head. Just like the excellent photo. The head disipates fairly quickly. Light, slightly sour malt profile with a light hops after.
