Michelob Amber Bock

Brewed by Anheuser-Busch InBev
Style: American Dark Lager
St. Louis, Missouri USA

What to say. Just went to the Suffolk Peanut Fest all you can eat shrimp. It was either this or Bud. On tap out of the side of a Bud truck. It was brown. Head, maybe. Aroma, hops maybe, a bit roasted. Taste, umm wet, beer like substance.

Baseball game. Amber colour with a small creamy mostly lasting head. Aroma and taste of malts and fruits. Smooth to go down when the sun is out. Not a bad macrobrew. I don’t want another though.

On bottle. Poured a brownish color. A mild sugar aroma. Had a soapy taste too thin for me. It was below average.

I had this beer an hour after having my very first sip of Arrogant Bastard Ale. So what chance does this rather boring beer have of tasting any good? None. I’d guess that this is a great beer to cook hotdogs in. Nice color though.

Not a bad beer for a BMC macro. Nice dark color with lingering off-white head, and some lacing. Aroma was mild, but had some malty roasted nut undertones. This had an okay taste, and smooth finish. All and all, not a bad beer for the price.

Bottle. Amber colour with a small creamy mostly lasting head. Aroma and taste of malts and fruits. nice beer.

I guess I should give this beer some props because it is the beer that got me into drinking real beers (so I bumped the overall a little bit for good measure). Back when I was a brew newbie I thought this stuff was great! Well, when I sampled it again after many MANY brews and many moons later I found it to be very dull and boring. When they gave me this beer on tap at a local pub I was somewhat excited. It does have a pretty decent appearance, but the flavor is just not there anymore. Head was average. Has maybe a bit of carmel taste but not much more. Good beer for aspiring beer geeks... it makes people a little bit less afraid of "dark" beers.

(Bottle) Pours sort of an iced-tea brown with a smallish biege head. Aroma is very weakly caramel, also featuring an off-putting metallic or mineral element. Mouthfeel thin and prickly. No real lacing. Flavor is bland and thin - very weak toasted caramel. No real body or flavor here at all.
