gws57 (1131), Saint Charles, Illinois, USA Dec 8, 2008 Had this one on draught at BW3 in South Elgin, Illinois. Nice clear dark amber pour with a thin, foamy head, a bright, hoppy nose with a touch of caramel sweetness, flavor is a bit more of the same, balanced, but with a clean, albeit soft, finish. Not a bad brew. porterhouse (1148), Alna, Maine, USA Dec 8, 2008 Pours very clear caramel-amber with three fingers of lightly amberish off-white head. Aroma of caramel and vanilla. Mouthfeel is smoothish but with little texture, feels very filtered and clean. Flavor of caramel and vanilla. Very little hop presence until toward finish there is a light bitterness. Quite malty but way too clean-feeling. 22 oz. bottle from Bootleggers. hopdog (5525), Lansdale, Pennsylvania, USA Dec 7, 2008 On tap inside Sea World, San Diego. Hey, it was free. Poured a medium amber color with a small sized off white head. There is really not much I can add that 400+ other people havent already said... georgekillian (184), USA Dec 7, 2008 Actually better then a regular budweiser I like the aftertaste of this beer nice addition of hops then a regular budweiser gives it a more complex flavor hayden1215 (305), Ohio, USA Dec 6, 2008 Amber in color with a beige head. Aroma is slightly sweet with notes of caramel and floral. Flavor is more caramel with malt and notes of apples. Finish is sweet, and thin. horto008 (21), Alabama, USA Dec 6, 2008 Very enjoyable macrobrew. I was expecting to be disappointed and wasnt. The ale was slightly acidic and had a sour finish. Not particularly bitter or strong, but overall a decent ale. Dorwart (1807), Robbinsville, New Jersey, USA Dec 5, 2008 Decent sized, off-white head of fine bubbles. Light carbonation. Crystal clear, very impressive copper in color. Roasted grains, some floral hops and bready malts with a touch of sweetness. Mild flavor. Bit tangy. A little bit of bitterness and more bready malts. Very easy drinking. Some lingering roasted grains and vegetal notes. The best offering from Budweiser available. blklab2007 (932), Connecticut, USA Dec 5, 2008 bottle poured a very light amber color with a one finger white head that fell quickly. aroma has light malts, sweetness, faint dry hops, and perhaps a tiny citrus thing. flavor has mild malt body, more hops than expected, light bitterness, and a finish that lingers for a minute. I guess American ale is fitting for the name. nothing outstanding here but it was enjoyable and the best offering from Budweiser I have tried.
