LAbrewcrew (7), , Alabama, USA does not count | 2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 8/20 | Mar 2, 2009 This pretty much tastes like a budweiser with more hops added and a little caramel flavor to it. I gave this rating a generous 2. The finish is bitter, malty, and not really hoppy as it is advertised. Wouldnt recommend this beer to anyone. Trev (882), Lakeville, Minnesota, USA
| 2.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 9/20 | Mar 1, 2009 Amber colour with a thick frothy off white head.
Aroma is light citrus hop, grainy malt under that.
Flavour is caramel malt, good initial impression, then the body thins out with a sour grainy tone. Mettalic bitter finish. bigrond (1054), factoryville, Pennsylvania, USA
| 1.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 6/20 | Mar 1, 2009 typical bud swill. I tried this at a beerfest. That was pretty much the only way I’d give this one a go....if it was free. I will say that it looked good, it had a deep rich color and it was smooth. But I failed to taste the hops finish that it advertised.

| 2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 2/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 8/20 | Mar 1, 2009 Bottle into glass. All I smell is corn syrup. Actually pretty nice looking hazy amber color with fair tan head and some extremely light semblance of lacing that disappears. The taste is kinda corny and mostly malty and thin. Not much to it. Palate is OK except for the syrupiness. It’s drinkable, I guess - I just don’t care to drink it. I can imagine a few of these causing a bad headache. Just about what you’d expect from A-B. hawkshadow (102), Rural Retreat, Virginia, USA
| 1.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 5/5 | 3/10 | 2/5 | 1/20 | Feb 28, 2009 This is indeed a strange brew. I bought a sixer. The first beer I poured into a shaker, nice color (artificial it seems), nice rocky head (just what I like!). Flavor seems good.
First one went down okay. When I poured the second that’s when things went south, then I started tasting the chemicals. I actually poured 3/4 of the second out on the ground. I don’t think I can drink the other 4 beers out of the sixer. Oh well! fogdoctor (20), Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Feb 27, 2009 Updated: Sep 10, 2009From the bottle it pours a stunning copper color with a floral aroma. I’m not going to claim that this is a great beer but at its price point it is drinkable. It does not fit neatly into a category but it has a reasonable flavor thats between an IPA and a traditional ale.
It has two significant flaws:
1) It finishes way too dry. Not only that there is no lingering flavor.
2) As others have mentioned its definitely over carbonated.
Feels like they started developing something really good and then ran out of time. Regardless, its easy to find and certainly drinkable. curly (646), Nashville, Tennessee, USA

Color is clear amber. Almost wanted to be hoppy but is not. Smells grainy and has a strange banana like taste for me. Does finish clean and crisp. Good try though anheuser.
