ODouls Amber

Brewed by Anheuser-Busch InBev
Style: Low Alcohol
St. Louis, Missouri USA

Serve in English pint, Shaker

Pours a somewhat darkish amber with a big head. Smell is of caramel and light fruit. Taste is of nothing much other than a glimmer of malt. Ick.

Normally I would say, "when a host gives you an Odouls find a new host", but in this case it was either this or boxed wine, and I was going to have to drive home late, so what the hell. Pours darker amber with a medium slightly off-white head. I wasn’t expecting much, but this was actually pretty nice, good caramel flavor up front, lightly worty, a bit thin, but a soft cherry flavor comes out in the finish. I know a lot of the low scores are due to the name and it being a low alcohol, but this really wasn’t all that bad. Far superior to most low alcohol beers I’ve had, well also superior to a lot of beers I’ve had in general.

Bottle, pours amber color. Dry taste, heavy on the carbonation, but not much by way of flavor. It has a copper, aluminum type taste. It does have a slight malt flavor which is nice, but watered down overall. Nevertheless I thought it was a good attempt for a NA. I would drink if I am DD.

A slightly better color than original O’Douls, that’s all I can give it.

they handed this out after a race I ran. It was poured from a can into a plastic cup. I then proceeded to pour it into my mouth. That experiment lasted one sip. It ended up poured in a field. It is hard to describe but I feel that this is what you must drink while you burn in hell for eternity. I’m going to start going to church.

Same crappy beer with a little bit of caramel coloring added. I would just have to go without if ths was all I had to drink.

7/1/08 From the bottle. Aroma is sweet/roast caramel lamt forward with a decent noble hop balance. Appearance is clear copper with a surprisingly well maintained white head. Flavor is extremely light, missing the aroma’s sweetness, and having only moderate noble hop bittering. Mouthfeel is low bodied with a low carb texture. Overall, this was better than expected for an NA, it’s just too bad it looks so good. Such trickery!

I cannot drink this stuff but it is excellent to cook with. It compliments beef and does not give your food a bitter hop taste like the regular Odouls and does not give you food a burnt taste like some stouts do and it’s cheap.
