Budweiser American Ale

Bottle and draft. Pours lovely bright copper with thick, creamy, lasting head. Faintly fruity nose with citrus and cider notes. Light bitterness, fruity backdrop with some subtle citrus-hop presence. Full body, soft carbonation. Physically attractive, really drinkable and yes, it tastes pretty good. I don’t much care who makes the stuff. I’m a slut.

12 oz bottle via Fred Meyer. pOURS A CLEAR DARK COPPER WITH A LARGE beige head. Nose is toasted grains and mild fruit. Taste is caramel,corny, grainy, grassy, and a cardboardy aftertaste. Carbonation is high, body is light.

I think some people have been bagging this beer because it’s a bud product. If you judge it as an american amber, it’s actually a very well made and enjoyable beer. Bud’s marketing just can’t seem to get anything right but dumb Bud Lite commercials....this should have been called Bud American Amber Ale. With that said, let’s get on to the guts of the rating. Aroma is a nice blend of citrus hops and caramel malt, though the malt dominates. Wonderful orange copper color, brilliantly clear with an off-white head that is long lasting. Flavor is dominated by malt, with some sweetness upfront, though it finishes dry with a caramel note. The hop bitterness is supportive, but not dominate. Overall, I think this is a very good american amber ale, though certainly not as hop dominate as I prefer. Still, a nicely made beer and enjoyable for an everyday amber.

Pours a lovely copper with a thick, creamy beige head. Foam looks like a scoop of French vanilla ice cream Very nice. Some good lacing on the glass too. Not too much a nose: light scents of malt, caramel, and and bread. Flavor is lightly hoppy, caramel, and malt, mixed with A GALLON OF FREAKING WATER!!! WHAT THE HELL, ANHEUSER-BUSCH? WHAT THE HELL? This looks, smells, and tastes like a great beer that was watered down with a gallon of H2O! Why? Why did you ruin a brew that was probably pretty good on paper? This tastes like the "light’ version of a much better beer. Over priced at $6.99 a sixer.

Can’t knock it until I try it. Mercifully cheap bottle from the deli (same price as the regular Bud-$1.25). Poured copper with a small frothy off-white head. Aroma marked by honey-bran cereal, with cracker jack, granola and sweet horse feed. Some grassy hoppiness, but no discernable cascade aromas or other aromatic citurs/pine hop essence I can pick up. Cereal/caramel malt flavors with some citrus hoppiness in the back, but overall muted. Medium bodied though gassy. All said and done drinkable, but below average by craft standards.

Bomber. Nice looking, rusty colored pour with a foamy white head. Weak aroma of mostly grain and slight caramel malt.The "hoppy finish" that the description promised was not there at all. I was really disappointed.

Im am more than Glad ! To see that Budweiser did it ! They took it to the next level. The taste the flavors the Hops! Just the feeling it leaves on your mouth. Great Stuff Wonderful Job Tom !

this beer tastes,smells and looks like dandilion juice with some rusty rain water. i obviously didt like it at all.
