Budweiser American Ale

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

I’m glad that Budweiser is making an effort, but this isn’t very enjoyable at all. Pours well enough to look good, but nothing on the nose. Weak, watered down, overcarbonated. This is basically just a heavier Budweiser. I won’t have this again.

well its a about time budweiser did it right this a great beer to drink with a meal like a steak and the cool thing is it will go good with a burger a light hops after tone and a even wheat flaver and a pretty head with a aroma that every beer is going to have to compete agaist

Bottle. Clear copper color. hoppy aroma. Some mild hops in the flavor but not much else happening. Little weak.

This beer pours a beautiful amber color and creamy head. Decent enough ale but not much else is notable.

bottle, dark almond color with good foam, nose is some malty fruit with a fruity banana and malt flavor , a little watery as discussed

Bottle from Uncle Sudsys. Mild sweet malt aroma, with a bit of neutral fruitiness and a bit of dusty hops. Nothing overpowering about any smell characteristic. Dark maple amber clear, with thin off-white head. Medium watery body with medium to heavy carbonation. Starts with decent caramel malt, light alcoholic notes and a mild chemical tang. Light toasted grain and finishes with just a bit of bitterness. Fairly well balanced and definitely a couple levels above most of the standard AB line. I don’t know if I’d order this over most other micros, but I would drink this over the pale fizzies anyday.

Presentation: It was poured from a brown 12oz bottle into a pint glass. Appearance: The body had a beautiful reddish, medium amber color with a small just off white colored head. The clarity is good and head fades down quickly to a very thin covering that barely hangs on. Smell: The aroma had a pleasant but mild citrus and piney hop character. Taste/Mouth feel: The flavor has a modest malt flavor with lightly toasted grain and light caramel notes. The balance leans in favor of the hops which bring mild pine and citrus notes to the mix. Hop bitterness is very mild and finishes clean. Its texture is smooth with average carbonation and it has a light to medium body, making it refreshing and highly drinkable. Notes: Overall I would say that this is about what I had expected from Budweiser although I would have liked a little more solid malt character and body.

It was a much better beer then I had originally expected. A hoppy sweet flavor, definately one of the best beers Budweiser has made.
