Budweiser American Ale

Budweiser American Ale

The Bottom Line

Budweiser American Ale is a bold step for Anheuser-Busch to take with their flagship brand. The implications to their beloved Budweiser is a conversation for another place but it is worth noting the significance of the move. The beer itself, due to be released in October 2008, is a little less impressive.

Pros

  • Flavorful
  • Nice Character

Cons

  • Too sweet

Description

Guide Review - Tasting Notes and Review for Budweiser American Ale from Anheuser-Busch

The beer pours with a thick, rocky head that sits atop a very clear, copper body. Its aroma is mostly sweet malt with some citrusy hops apologetically peeking through. The flavor follows this theme with strong, nutty malt flavors dominating and some hops. The ale is drinkable but could easily become cloying after a couple.
