Budweiser American Ale

Brewed by Anheuser-Busch InBev
Style: Amber Ale
St. Louis, Missouri USA

Pours a light amber. Slight cascade nose mixed in with bread and adjuncts. Flavor is a thin slightly hopped malt forward beer. If I were at a cookout and it was between this and anything else they offer, this is a no-brainer. Not terrible.

Bottle. Pours a lighter amber color and a medium white head. Aroma is more malty caramel body. Taste is a decent balance between the two, and a nice robust malty body. A little thin on the palate, but I think it takes a hit from the macro label.

aroma of malt sweetness and also fragrant hops, nearly perfectly balanced right out of the gate. appearance is standard for an amber ale, but still quite striking. flavor is of a light peach note from the cascades in aftertaste, but mostly some controlled malt sweetness. i have had many MANY far worse amber ales with much less hop character and plenty of cloying, candy sweetness. this does not deserve its low marks, but its bound to get them from the ’cool kids’ all day afternoon.

Dark amber, with a creamy, durable head. Sweet malt aroma, with little hops. More hop in the medium body. Very sweet, too sweet.

Clear amber pour with decent head. Sweet grain nose. Flavor is full of wet wheat with some mild hop and sweetness to it.

Sampled on tab. Really not a bad brew. Good color, served cold, decent head. Goes down nice, a quality brew by Bud, very rare.

Amber color, with modest head. Little aroma. However, much more hop bitterness than other Bud brews.

For a brewery as large as this, I am impressed. Nice caramel malty flavor with a noticeable hop bitterness. I am glad so many bars that dont stock any decent micros are starting to stock this at least.
