Pours a pinkish amber color, with a nice head that lasts. Aroma...hmm this smells like real beer...should I forget this is ’budweiser’ for a minute? Tastes a bit watered down, but does have a hoppy finish.

Beer pours an attractive amber color with a minimally retained off white colored head. Aroma is mostly sweet, notes of caramel and honey. Flavor is pretty much straight caramel sweetness. Could definetly use more hopping to balance things out.

12oz bottle from Mark. Thanks. Poured a clear amber color. The head was two fingers high and off white with decent retention. Surprisingly attractive aroma of citrusy hops, spices, and toffee. Light to medium bodied and delicately sweet. Tasted of toasted bread and cereal grains, but not much in the way of hops. Finished a bit flat. Smelled nice enough, but not all that tasty. You can smell the Cascades, but they don’t make any significant appearance in the flavor.

5 oz. sample glass at brewfest. A pretty basic amber. Drinkable but nothing to get excited about. I will drink a whole bottle and rerate

On tap at Hooters in MHC, NC. Fairly medium coppery color, little foamy head. Aroma of malts, tin, a bit of hops. Flavour of the same, huge metallic malt flavour, extremely pungent, very repulsive. Not real ale/beer. AB, give up.

If you drink this offering from Bud like you would one of thier lagers, ie, ice cold, then I can see the reasoning behind some of the negative comments. Once it warmed up a bit, about the half-way point in the glass, some interesting things popped out - like coriander. This is a smooth-drinking ale, and while the Cascade hops that are claimed to have been used are virtually non-existant, I’de buy it again.
