Budweiser American Ale

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

Pours amber into a shaker. Malty aromas. Sour caramel with a slightly bitter finish.

I give slack to macro brewers who attempt to innovate at all. This is an enjoyable beer in its own right. The aroma is a a malty, caramel smell. The appearance is a nice ruby color, thin white head. The flavor is sweet, caramel, toffee, malty. Medium mouthfeel. The finish is a mild hop flavor, fairly clean. Good beer overall, especially for a macrobrew. I must give the devil their due; Budweiser did alright with this. I would at least consider this on a part with Bass Ale.

Way better than I expected. Poured from 12oz bottle. Pours a nice amber with no cloudiness. Typical AB carbonation present. Weak head that disappeared quickly. Nice aroma - actually had a bit of a hoppy sweat smell instead of ricey sweat. Decent flavor. Not that pleasant in the mouth but I’d take these over a regular Bud any day.

draft- Not terrible. I tasted some hops- I did not taste Budweiser Lager. Well made- Not something I would buy, BUT, if it’s between a Sam Adams and one of these, I might buy the Bud. Sorry, but true.

12oz bottle. Pours clear copper in color with full foamy light brown head. Aroma sweet caramel, spicy and lite hops. Taste sweet candy, caramel and hops with bitter finish. Not a bad beer for a Bud.

Scored a two buck bomber which was great since I really never wanted to buy an entire six pack. Decent beer with some good aspects and some lacking qualities as well. Rich amber~copper color, long lasting 1/2" head and spotty lacing around the glass. Caramel and toffee notes followed by a mild floral hop aroma...and I do mean mild. Nice medium malt body that is well balanced and fairly calm. Toasted malt and honey roasted nut flavor that leads to some light banana fruitiness. Hops aren’t too forward in the flavor, in fact the malt seems to dominate. Could easily use some additional Cascade hops in the aroma and flavor.

Budweiser American Ale is a very clear and sparkling light copper ale. It has a small, elastic off-white head that leaves good lacing and has good retention. The aroma is citrusy, with notes of light grain, starfruit, pepper and alcohol. It smells like a homebrew. It is medium-light bodied, pretty smooth, with a pretty crisp finish. It has a slightly metallic feel. It is pretty mellow and well balanced and dry. There are notes of Cascades, pretzels and pepper. Not bad, A-B!

On tap. Really not bad at all. Pours with a small, off-white head that leaves some decent lacing. Clear amber body underneath. Aroma is slightly hoppy with light caramel malt. Taste is hoppy with a little bit of caramel. Really not bad or at all. Lightly fizzy.
