Budweiser American Ale
I know what youre thinking. And sometimes your first instincts are dead on.
Such was the case here.
Now look, i can appreciate when you have some HUGE company try and go all “boutiquey” and all “artisan”….but come on….what can you possibly do? Youre fucking Budweiser…..
You come off as ridiculous as Starbucks using their Clover machine……please. Just stop.
I can see this very BLAND ale marketed to compete with something of the calibur of a Sam Adams, a Full Sail….something better than bud…but worse than Sierra Nevada. No?
I mean, the pros are this….its EASY to drink for a heavier ale, and the color is a beautiful copper. It definitely makes Budweiser look good….but fuck man…
I mean….the best way I can describe the taste, is if you added Mrs Dash to a regular old, unfortunate Budweiser…..sad to say.
I think if i had the choice between this and regular Bud….man…..id be reaching for the flask of Jameson.
This beer might be good for a BBQ…..but seriously….this is like putting a bowtie on an ugly kid.
My score – 64 out of 100.

Could not disagree more. I hate the BUD family of products as much as the next SF hipster but thought this beer tasted great. I think they did a nice job with the packaging and marketing .(or, lack there of)
I can’t believe I’m defending Budweiser…

Like i said, i didnt despise it….
I despise Budweiser because it gives me a chinese food headache…like its full of MSG….
This didnt….but it tasted like a better Bud….
But thats like saying “this turd is shinier and less stinky that that one.”
