Jan 19, 2009 I finally gave up and tried it. Bottle. In my opnion, It is an excellent example of a craft beer dumbed down to a poor example of any type. I wish AB wouldn’t offer it as Americas belief as to what an Ale should be. It tastes a lot like their Bock, only thinned out and more carbonated. Malty with some offcolor aftertastes. Trully dissappointing and not my America.

Jan 19, 2009 For a guy who does not usually drink Burweiser, I muct say that this was a plesant suprise. Poured from a bottle...nice golden brown color...decent head. Caramel hoppy flavor...clean finish. For once, Budweiser has done something decent....to bad the had to buy out half of the American beer industry (Then get brought out their own self) to get there

Jan 19, 2009 Promo bottle from Sunset Grill Winter 2008. Yawn. Not horrid, just a little stale tasting, with some acetyldehyde and, gasp, actual hoppiness. Candy sweetness from underfermented malts. The hops are on par with something you’d find in a brewpub golden ale. Noticeable, but imparting nearly no bitterness. Who is the target demographic for this? Certainly not craft brew drinkers and certainly not hardened bud/bud lite drinkers. Next.

Jan 17, 2009 Bottle. Pour was just as shown in picture. Aroma was surprisingly hoppy. Flavor had medium sweet malt characters with a good amount of cascade hops. Not a bad brew. I’m surprised, really. About time America used a bit of it’s brain to make a somewhat decent brew.

Jan 17, 2009 Sampled at Sea World. Amber to copper in color with a solid amount of off white head. Aroma of caramel, sweet malt, earth and flowers. Flavor was slightly sweet caramel with a good amount of earthiness in the finish. Nice to see that they actually used a bit of hops in this one. Not a bad beer at all.

Jan 16, 2009 Bottle on 09/27/2008, not even a screwtop bottle, surprising actually. Very clear copper amber body with a large creamy off-white head. Sweet, almost nutty aroma with some caramel and earthy hops. Sweet caramel flavor, a bit of a sugary edge, more nuttiness and dry earthy hops in the finish. Medium body with moderate carbonation.

Jan 16, 2009 Pours more of an amber ale color. There is some hop character here, and I really don’t mind drinking this at all.
