junon (210), Honolulu, Hawaii, USA Oct 10, 2008 Not bad. Looks brilliant. Kind of lite on the aroma but it does have decent wallop in flavor. Lingering after taste not really working for me though. I would of guessed it was a bit higher in alcohol. I like what theyre trying to do. SamGamgee (1396), Santa Cruz (La Selva), California, USA Oct 10, 2008 12oz bottle, thanks to Chad. I couldn’t work up the courage to get a sixer of this, and the man came through for me. Toasted amber color with a lasting creamy head. Light cascades in the aroma, with some unfermented wort/doughy aromas as well. The flavor is clean and balanced, with lightly sweet toasted malt and some modest hop bite to round it off. Not a whole lot going on in either the malt or hop department separately, and the finish is a bit thin, but the balance of the package is super drinkable. If this was the same price as regular Bud, It would be my cheap beer of choice, but at the 6.99 that it goes for around here, there are much better choices. hanihotdog (14), blah, Pennsylvania, USA Oct 9, 2008 first i poured it, then i smelled it, then i tasted it... then i went from midnight to 6. this beer has a nice color, and smell, and a malty/toffee flavor. This was one of the worst ales i have ever had, but probably like you, i just had to buy it and find out for myself. I would not pay 25 bucks for a case of this p.o.s. ever again. If you buy it, i would recomend drinking it really really fast! it tastes better that way! jcr (1136), Jasper, Indiana, USA Oct 9, 2008 Bottle. Clear amber body. Diminishing off-white head. Light aroma of caramel and toffee along with hints of flowers, orange and toast. The flavor is lightly sweet and lightly bitter. The finish is lightly bitter. Light to medium body with a watery texture that turns slightly sticky. Lively carbonation. Not much to get excited about and yet not much to be offended by. RiverShark (28), Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA Oct 9, 2008 The best beer to come out of Anheuser Busch. Hoppy flavor with no bad aftertaste. Hopefully this beer proves alot of people wrong about AB RCL (1443), Waltham, Massachusetts, USA Oct 9, 2008 I have to hand it to AB: they make a beautiful looking beer. I started to get excited when I inhaled the promising lightly fruity aroma then had my hopes dashed by the super thin Budweiser flavor and palate. spkldhenlvr24 (446), Newburgh/Buffalo, New York, USA Oct 9, 2008 Bottle. Pours an almost clear deep amber color with a smaller beige head leaving some nice lacing. Aroma starts out decently hoppy but then fades shortly after. Some caramel, malty notes. Flavor, again, starts out hoppy and mallty. Nice medium mouthfeel. This still has that typical AB funky finish but overall not too bad. I love ambers but this falls far short of some great ones I’ve tried. LinusStick (1830), Moon Twp, suburb of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA Oct 9, 2008 Congrats on Budweiser for this one. Was I expecting too little? Maybe; but this is a damn impressive beer for them. Aroma was a little weak. Alcohol and stale amber malt. Pour was a nice deep amber with a one finger off white head- crystal clear. Taste was all malt and had this weird stale bread element. Nice carbonation and a wet malty finish. In a blind taste test I would have thought this was an American Oktoberfest. Not bad.
