Michelob Ultra Amber

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

Rerated 6/24/07: On tap at the Little Traverse during a poker run, Looks darker, taste is winelike. Vinegar or sour aroma in a 20 oz plastic cup. No bitterness but does has a sour taste. Mild & well behaved, quite different than the bottle I had a while ago. Old Rating: 12 oz brown bottle with a twist off cap. Has a nice aroma of sweetness. Pours a little darker than I expected, perhaps even a little brown. Initial taste is a little weak but there is no offense except for the possible hint of dishwater in the background. Is a little weak in the hop department and it seems the hops are stripped of their impressive ability and replaced with inoffensive floating hoppyness. Same with the malts., they are missing something. Do malts add calories to the beer? This beer seems to trying to imitate the amber style of dark lagers by still remaining a pale lager. I’m curios as to how a beer that is brown can be classifies as a pale lager. A little less pleasantly flavorful than many of the other good pale lagers. Finish has a lingering aftertaste that is not too pleasing. This is somewhat on par with henie light and other beers of the genre. Not as good as miller highlife or rolling rock.

This seems like Ultra with food coloring added. Amber color but has way toom uch carbonation. Close your eyes ant it tastes like a spoiled Corona. Not at all enjoyable to drink. A very odd bitter taste makes this seem like bad water. Ugh. It should be against the law to sell beer this bad.

Nice color, but not much of an aroma. Extremely mild tast for an amber. I would justs stick with the original if you were looking at Michelob ultra’s.

MIld taste for an amber, not bad looking in the glass but the black flake that came out of the bottle was quite unexpected

Pours amber (of course) with absolutley no head. Smells like nothing and tastes very weak maybe some sweetness coming out here and there but so what. Don’t try this, please.

A slightly more tolerable version of Micelob Ultra. Too bland to truly enjoy, too expensive for mass-drinking.

Pours a transparent orange with a small head. Aroma is a bit malty sweet, but the graininess is noticable. Taste is unimpressive, some malts present with than unmistakable macro metallic, grainy feel.

This stuff wasn’t as bad as I was thinking it would be. Definately better than Michelob Ultra (but then again, almost anything is). Serve this beer ice cold and it’s pretty good.
