Budweiser American Ale

Brewed by Anheuser-Busch InBev
Style: Amber Ale
St. Louis, Missouri USA

Dark amber, bubbly orange tinted tan head. nose is crispy, malty, a little cardboard-like, with a spicy hop background. Pleasant enough. Somewhat thin Bodied but there is a somewhat nuetral malty hop interplay, slightly crispy and tangy...decent.

Bottle from Food Mart in Winters, CA. I was very surprised by this beer. Very malty beer with just a hint of a hop finish. If someone gave me this beer in a glass I would have never guessed what it was. The best beer from Anheuser-Busch I’ll ever taste.

Surely made for the masses but not all that bad. It has a mild aroma and a light watery taste but is light years ahead of the other slop they push.

Smells like every other Budweiser I’ve smelled, and it seems like it has potential. I’m glad I bought this in a mixed sixer because I don’t think I could drink anymore than one of these beers. I don’t like this beer, flavor seems weird. I had hopes for Budweiser since they were bought out by a Belgian company. Disappointment seems to be synonymous with Budweiser.

Pretty good for a Bud! Nice mild hoppy flavor and smell. Tast is not too strong but the finish is smooth. I quite enjoyed this pleasant suprise!

What a dud. Thought this might be pretty good, as I’ve read a lot of raters say it was above average. To me, it isn’t. At all. Aroma is muddled, and the texture is watery. Astringent throughout. Touches of hops, but not much else. I would order this instead of Bud Lite for sure, but wouldn’t really spend money on it if anything else were available to me. Meh.

Had a bottle , ok two, and echo glenn’s description below. Definitely better when really cold. I didn’t want to like it but was actually pleasantly surprised.

Bottle. Moderate cereal note for the malt, light herbs and a hint of orange for the hops, very light dough for the yeast, with metallic, sulfur and a faint spiciness in the background. Head is small, creamy, slightly off white, with good lacing and is mostly diminishing. Color is clear copper/red. Flavor starts lightyl sweet and acidic, and finishes lightly to moderately bitter. Palate is medium, watery but a bit slick, and has a lively carbonation. I definitely gave this beer a fair shake. In fact I gave it a slightly high overall score because of how impressed I was to have a product like this from a company that gives us Bud Light, Wild Blue, Bud Extra and Tequiza. Hey AB, why not go the extra mile and put out something over the top? You have the resources I would guess.
