Budweiser American Ale

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

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.

pours a decent amber but not much aroma. Decent flavor bit nothing to write home about

12oz bottle from Mark. Thanks. Poured a clear amber color. The head was two fingers high and off white with decent retention. Surprisingly attractive aroma of citrusy hops, spices, and toffee. Light to medium bodied and delicately sweet. Tasted of toasted bread and cereal grains, but not much in the way of hops. Finished a bit flat. Smelled nice enough, but not all that tasty. You can smell the Cascades, but they don’t make any significant appearance in the flavor.

5 oz. sample glass at brewfest. A pretty basic amber. Drinkable but nothing to get excited about. I will drink a whole bottle and rerate

12 oz bottle from my son in law; thanks Colin! Noseof light banana, caramel, a little bubblegum, and somegariny notes; clear light copper with a medium beige head; flavor had some fruity banana, bitterness, and caramel, drinkable average beer!

On tap at Hooters in MHC, NC. Fairly medium coppery color, little foamy head. Aroma of malts, tin, a bit of hops. Flavour of the same, huge metallic malt flavour, extremely pungent, very repulsive. Not real ale/beer. AB, give up.

If you drink this offering from Bud like you would one of thier lagers, ie, ice cold, then I can see the reasoning behind some of the negative comments. Once it warmed up a bit, about the half-way point in the glass, some interesting things popped out - like coriander. This is a smooth-drinking ale, and while the Cascade hops that are claimed to have been used are virtually non-existant, I’de buy it again.

I really wanted to like this beer before cracking it open. There is zero taste to this beer.
