Nov 3, 2009 Draft. Pours a golden color with a white foamy head. Nose is lightly hoppy with a toasty, biscuity malt note. Palate is quite full, much more then I expected and has a stickiness to it. Flavor is light grassy hops with a sweet caramel malt note and a toastiness.

Nov 1, 2009 Draft at Pizza Pazza in Tampa. Clear deep amber pour. Aroma shows malt and slight hops. The mouthfeel goes deeper into the hops along with a nice smooth finish.

Oct 31, 2009 Orangish-amber body, moderately effervescing under a holding, off-white head. Odd but not off-putting aroma of malts and vegetals with light mineral and herbs (I’m reminded of the days when I was harvesting all the Czech and Russian brews in the area). Stale caramel flavor with a balance of grasses and herbs. Mid-bodied, but the aftertaste does not last long. I’m left confused, and it’s not because I’m dissing A/B. For a beer that’s labeled "American Ale", this came off as a better than average European Strong Lager... or maybe a decent Bock? Maybe I’m losing it. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Recently, at a friend’s BBQ, probably the last one of the season.

Oct 25, 2009 Not too bad for an AB product, but it’s still AB! Has a clear golden brown color. Aroma is of malts, corn, and very slight hops. Taste is pretty much the same. It’s kind of like a bold bud.

Oct 25, 2009 The American Ale is not bad; however, it is not all that great, but I do enjoy this beer once and a while depending on my mood. The beer is somewhat hoppy, good color and a tad under rated due to the Anheuser name, I would assume.

Oct 22, 2009 Bottle. Pours golden brown with a creamy off-white head. Aroma of sweet malt and earthy hops. Taste is mildly bitter with a sweet finish. Watery mouthfeel detacts from a decent beer. More than expected, but definitely not enough to convert me back to Big Beer.
