Budweiser American Ale

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

Bottle from Daniel. Total rarity here. Never have I see something of this caliber. Pours out just like you have seen it all over TV. Smell is sweet and fruity, a touch of citrus and some hop flavors too. Taste is smooth and fruity, kinda sweet, little bit of hops. Not really that bad, I have had much worse. As a side note, I made a Smitty pizza using this beer, and it actually was awesome. The hint of sugar from this beer really made the dough taste better. Bonus points for pizza making ability.

clear copper color, fluffy tan head, no lacing. nose of airy hops. flavor is water with a hint of sweet malt, surprisingly no trace of hops. watery mouth-feel. oddly sweet malt finish. off-putting. not sure how this one classifies as an ’ale’ ewxcept by the most generous allowance. i appreciate that anheuser-busch, excuse me, in-bev, is only trying to compete, but a craft brewery they are not.

Pours an amber color with a medium to large sized fizzy bone colored head. Nose is caramel and toffee with some hops and metal. Tastes malty and floral and there is some sweetness on the back end as well. Its really basic and non threatening but fails to make a statement. Moderate mouthfeel and high quaff-ability.

12oz. Pours a lovely amber with a fizzy white head. Surprisingly aromatic with nice caramel and chocolate malt that makes one think toffee. Body follows with similar, but less exciting flavors. Expected high carbonation, this one finishes off-dry. Surprisingly unoffensive is a good way to characterize this beer.

Pours amber with a mostly receding tan head. Aroma of caramel, hint of piney hops, paper. Taste is cloying, sweet, lightly piney with no resins. Medium bodied, feels slightly soapy/sticky with lively carbonation. It was almost like they wanted the hints of hops without any real hops. Kind of a false caramel-color type flavor. Still, I suppose it could be worse.

12 oz bottle. Pours clear copper with soapy beige head. The aroma is noticeable corn and metal, with a decent amount of straightforward Cascade hops and iced tea. Flavor is grapefruit hops and a sort of stale iced tea flavor. There’s a sort of grainy bitterness to the finish. Kind of bland and unimpressive, but considering who’s making it, it’s a step in the right direction.

Pours a pinkish amber color, with a nice head that lasts. Aroma...hmm this smells like real beer...should I forget this is ’budweiser’ for a minute? Tastes a bit watered down, but does have a hoppy finish.

Beer pours an attractive amber color with a minimally retained off white colored head. Aroma is mostly sweet, notes of caramel and honey. Flavor is pretty much straight caramel sweetness. Could definetly use more hopping to balance things out.
