| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Oct 8, 2008 22oz bottle. Pours a deep amber color with carbonated beige head that dissipates rather quickly with caramel and malts on the nose. The taste is of malts and caramel with slight hop presence in the finish. This is a very light, carbonated and smooth ale with a clean finish. This beer offers no complexity, but it is very drinkable and much better than Budweiser’s other offerings. However, for the price ($7.99 for a 6-pack), I would rather have something more flavorful. Though I suppose this would make for a decent session beer at the local pub.

| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Dec 6, 2009 This poured a darker amber color with an off white head. Aroma was toasted malts, and slight hint of bittering and aroma hops. Flavor was was very smooth, some light caramel, pale malts, and just enough cascade hops to make this somewhat balanced. Not great but much better than I was expecting. Niko100 (144), New York, USA

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Nov 28, 2009 12oz bottle. Pours orange-amber, clear with medium long-lasting off-white head that leaves some lace. The aroma has some bready malts, some caramel, light fruitiness, and subtle grassy hops. The flavor is malty - actual malts, not adjunct - with some toffee and light caramel notes. There is actually a light hop flavor, too (in a beer labeled Budweiser?!). The finish is somewhat dry and balanced - malty with soft grassy hops with just a touch of citrus. The body is medium in fullness. The brew has a brisk high level of carbonation - but not too much (unlike most bottled AB lagers). Overall - *much* better than expected. It is actually a pretty decent session beer. It actually has flavor - and the flavor it has is actually not bad. kwerikson (116), burlington, New Jersey, USA

| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Nov 24, 2009 I got to taste this fresh at the brewery in which it was made along with a lot of other samples, and this was the best of the group. Amber with white head. Fruity esters, toast, and bread body. Some herb and pine hops at a level more than I expected. Not any bitterness in the finish. Quite drinkable and flavorful that is hard to achieve on the scale that they do. smith4498 (918), Miami, Florida, USA

| 1.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 3/5 | 3/10 | 2/5 | 5/20 | Nov 8, 2009 Tasting at local Budverage Center, appropriately in plastic cup served by Bud Bimbos. At first I told them no thanks, but then I realized I can use the ratings without actually paying for them, and I can tell them what I think of the fine products. Copper with ring. Gum, caramel and glue aroma. Very mild toasted caramel watery brown sugar with a tease of hop finish. An ale only a Bud drinker could love. ChrisThomson (405), Toronto, Ontario, Canada
