Actually, not as absolutely as piss poor as I thought it would be. Color, aroma, and taste were all acceptable for something coming from Budweiser. Nothing Ill pay money for again, but not a drain pour. The worst part of this whole experience was drinking the 3.2 version of this shit in a shitty motel room in Weathorford OK of all the fucked up holes in the universe, and knowing this was the BEST shit that could be found in town. Why would ANYONE choose to live here? What the FUCK is up with the apostrophe warning? Is this website based in OK per chance?

12 oz. bottle. The latest creation old AB comes up with another slightly better than average beer. The only thing this beer is good for is drinking at a tailgate when you are in a hurry to get drunk. Not bad, better than most Bud beers, but if you polish a turd, it is still a turd. Meh.

Had to see what old AB has been up to these days. Seems it is still trying to come up with beers that are more micro-like. This beer poured with a clear copper hue and a decent beige head. Not too shabby. Texture was light and crisp, fuller than your typical macro light lager yet still fairly easy to quaff. Malts were too sweet and sugary and they had a synthetic quality to them, as if the beer was sweetened with Equal or Splenda or something. A metallic or iron-like off flavor was off-putting. A mild bitterness attempted to balance things out, to no avail. Overall, it just seemed like a really boring amber ale. Not to mention it was unbalanced, with too much sweetness and not enough bitterness.

Tap, Free at the Produce Place!--Decent head on top of a dark amber color beer. No real aroma detected. Some malt flavoring, but thin overall, it could be due to the coldness of the keg or the just Budweiser. Thicken the malt taste and they might have something. Produce Place.

Amber pour with a small white head. A touch of hops in the nose, but mostly sweet malt. Flavor is not bad, sweet and malty with a lightly bitter hop finish. Not a bad effort from A-B, but not so great compared to your average craft brew.

Bottle. Pour is mahogany/amber with a nice medium head. Malty, caramel flavor with distinct hop notes.

Bottle, pours cloudy with a white head. Some hops aroma, a bit of citrus hops and light malts. Probably the best brew from buttweiser, which is not saying much but in Oklahoma I can get it at the store after 9pm so its the best I can do late.

So I finally caved and had one of these at a Bulls game. Pours amber with a thick off white head. Aroma is light, a little malt. Flavor is okay, little malt, but relatively thin. I think my first amber I brewed from an extraction kit was better though...sadly.
