Budweiser American Ale

[riverc0il]

This was in the works for a while from what I understand.

I wasn't impressed, at all. Could be because I had a dogfish 90 before hand

LMAO! A 90 Minute would make gasoline taste like water after!

I had the Bud American Ale at a friend's house...and at the packie when they were giving out samples. I was pretty impressed. I'm used to Bud being...well...Bud. So to have something with a little snap and flavor was a nice change.

If you did a blind taste test with Bud American Ale and 3 or 4 other "decent" reputation Ales, I'd bet that very few folks would guess that it's a Bud product.

I saw Budweiser wing sauce the other day in the grocery store, i wasnt about to pay 4bucks for it when tabasco was half the price but it looked good, anyone try it??

Yeah, the Ale's not bad, but I'm not going out of my way for it either.

I'm still waiting for my locals to get the Roxy Rolles in. It's torture...this span between Nov. April with Rolles and the hIPA are the high points for Magic Hat these days.

On the same note, the new Michelob crafts aren't all that bad either...again, if I have a choice I'm not too inclined to buy it over something else, but if it's super cheap, I'll go for it every now and then.

I bet you're right. It certainly surprised me.

Anyone know what specific style of ale this is supposed to be? Or are they "inventing" their own style(sort of like the "weasel piss" category invented by Busch...)?

It's "American". :flag:








j/k I'm not 100% sure.

Should be close now as the "winter brews" are rolling out. Just yesterday at lunch, I overheard the waitress saying that they had just received their first keg of sam adams winter. Mmm, spiced winter brews, cold weather, snow, skiing Yup, the good time of the year is coming!

Really not half bad. Actually pretty decent. Would I choose it over a whole bunch of other beers? No, but overall, an okay beer...

I agree with ya.

this is my favorite:

Did it give you a buzz?

Agreed!

I blame my roommate for this recent warmup btw.

He declared that fall was over, and thus would not be ordering a keg of Sam Octoberfest like he had originally planned (We have a kegerator), but instead, was jumping right to Harpoon Winter Warmer (Christmas in a glass I call it).

The Good: Harpoon Winter Warmer is coming to a kegerator near me.

The Bad: It won't taste the same in the 50-60 degree weather we're having.

It will get cold again soon though.

Then may I suggest an Arrogant Bastard? One of my favorites. Actually I had a few with Hardline a few months ago.

hey, no need to get all personal! :lol::beer: I'll give it a shot...if I can find it.

I knew the beer snobs would have a field day with this one... :lol:

Did it give you a buzz?

Yes, and that's what's most important, right?

 

[2knees]

bought a 6 of this the other day. 5 are still sitting in the basement for our next party.

Come on. A proud boozer like yourself has beer lying around? I'm disappointed.
