From a six pack puirchased at local COOP. After the first bottle I realized I have five more bottles that I would have pawn off on someone else who thinks Budweiser is a good beer. Poured nice attractive gold color but things went downhill from there. Nose kind of moldy, with a faint hop odor and not much else. Mouthfeel was not notable, and flavor was somewhat sweet with a slightly bitter finish that was just plain odd tasting. To be hoiest I had trouble with this one, and just have to say it was not something I would buy again.

good golden color,small white head that faded slowly leaving little behind.The aroma was fruity with a slight malt appearance and some faint hops but there hard to pin down.The flavor was sweet fruit and mild malt with a hint of hops towards the end.Not a real eventful brew but it does have a certain thirst quenching quality if you can get past some of the sweetness that is going on in the brew.It’s worth trying again ---Maybe.

Bottle curtesy of KrausenJockey, pours decent copper color with thin off white head. The nose is bready malt and a touch of hop. The flavor is the same, with more malt than hop. Noce on a 95 degree late Summer day. I didn’t think I’d like it, but was pleasantly surprised.

Thanks AgentSteve. Golden amber, malty, bready, light hop, nice crisp refreshing beer.

Mild hop and tea nose. Soft and floral palate with a slight touch of ripe fruit. Strange acidic finish.

Hazy gold, small white head. Some toffee like malts in the aroma. Light fruity note, some honey and caramel. Nothing special.

Weak nose, thin yellow color, light white head around the rim, weak finish, powerful flavor for the instant it hits your mouth, then it drops faster than a sorostitute’s panties at, oh yeah I went there, sweet honey flavor, slighty hoppy, very slightly, hints of banana, not much excitement here.

~Pours a golden amber with foamy white head. ~Citrusy floral scent with mild malts ~Musky malt taste with citrus hops. ~Tingly feel, bitter aftertaste. ~Interesting brew. Has a musky hop flavor. Enjoyable.

Bottle. Golden amber color, nose of malt and faint hops. Taste is very malty for the style. Brown butter, toasted bread, and caramel flavors are present. The taste is good but it’s out of balance. Needs some more aromatic and bittering hops to tie everything together. Medium palate. Good but not a good representation of an American Pale Ale.

This is one of my all-time favorite beers. Delicious, easy to drink, but not at all bland. This also has one of the best designed labels on the shelf.
