ODouls Amber

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

Serve in English pint, Shaker

Bottled: Looks like a beer, pours like a beer... um, there the similarity ends. Fizzy head disappears faster than a 7up, smells like a sweetened Nestea. A halfway decent amber body for the "style," at least, but it tastes like watered-down Malto Goya (a Mexican malt soda). I had a whole six of this I was using for cooking; only when I was down to the last bottle (and I was off beer for Lent) did I consider actually tasting it.

Weak bready aroma of cherries. Clear, dark amber color, thin vanishing head. Worty flavor of rice with cherries underneath. Noticeable lack of body. There’s some flavor there, so it isn’t awful. Cheap quality, though.

A big step up from the regular O’Doul’s, but thats mainly because of the use of a brown bottle to prevent skunking. The amber reminds me alot of Coors Light - thin and watery, a little salty, and in the end gave me a headache.

No alcohol :( Watery, watery, watery taste. The foam will not disappear for some reason, maybe the beer is ashamed of himself. Amber coloured.

I was a little surprised to see this beer rated so high. Smells awful, tastes watery yet awful. N/A! I will say it does look rather nice! For taking your kids, your dog, or your pregnant wife out for a night of drinking. But why go out DRINKING with them? It just doesnt fit kind of like this beer!

Found this in my beer fridge, I think it came from a long ago party. I need a low alcohol rating, so here’s my chance. Pours out a nice amber color with thick quickly dissipating head. Aroma is caramel malt and a little cardboard. Goes down with some hints of malt, but almost a non flavor kind of thing. I guess they would call this light tasting. Not half bad, I expected much worse and I had a reason to get this out of my fridge. So I got that going for me.

UPDATED: JUL 13, 2004 Sudsy, snow white head and copper body with significant carbonation. Initial skunk cloud dissipated and left behind an aroma of fruit, honey, toasted bread, and wet cardboard. Sweet, tangy flavor like lemon tea. Malt presence seems very light and no hops or bitterness are detectable. Leaves an unappealing stale aftertaste. Thin, watery, fizzy palate. Castrated beers like this make me sad, however this isn’t quite as bad as anticipated. But I won’t be revisiting this one.

What can I say, it’s a low alcohol amber ale. That really sums it up. Bland boring, faint sweet malt aroma and flavor. Really I don’t see who would by this.
