bottle, pours a deep copper with a tall light tan head. Sweet carmel malt and cascade nose. Smells suprisingly good. The strong points : it’s fairly well rounded, has a nice malt body and a thin, but decent hop bite in the finish. The weak points : it’s watered down, and I feel that if the flavors were just a tad stronger, this would be a solid beer. I’m still pleasantly suprised, it’s drinkable.

Moderately strong bouqet of wood, dried leaves, cherries,and caramel. Ruby tea colored, clear, with a medium yellow head. Flavor of cherries, but more bitter than your run of the mill amber. Weak dry grass finish that becomes lighter. This is a decent beer from a style and brewer I don’t like.

Bottle, bar, Chicago. Amber colour, off-white head. Aroma and flavour of caramel malts, faint hops and some fruits. A bit watery.

Stollen from Kevin Murphy of MST3K fame:
"POUR - presents medium-amber, resembling a well worn baseball glove. Pale head starts large then disappears quickly, but with a firm pledge to be back in 2012.
NOSE - Initially sweet and malty, mild citrus hop notes, fading quickly to reveal a strong base note of Jean-Claude Van Damme. Hints of buttered toast, Kodiak snuff and air burps after a meal at Arby’s.
BODY - Paunchy, with skinny legs and more than a little hair. Mouthfeel reminescent of French-kissing a Teamster.
TASTE - Smooth, subtle, nuanced - wait, that’s my tongue. The beer isn’t giving me anything. Okay, there’s some malt, and something resembling hops, although not exactly hops; more like a photocopy of a picture of some hops. However, a dominant flavor is taking hold now, familiar, seductive. It’s the flavor of marketing. Aftertaste leaves me bitter, clinging to religion and guns.
CONCLUSION: This is a beer for those who would prefer to drink regular Budweiser but who have girlfriends. If you’re a Sam Adams Drinker, save your money and pour this into old Sam bottles. Keep in mind that Anheuser-Busch is now owned by a bunch of Belgians who have flooded the world market with their inexplicably popular version of carbonated urine, Stella Artois. Ultimately, those seeking gusto will be more satisfied with Schlitz."

Sample at Montgomery Inn in Dublin. The beer is a mostly clear amber-brown color with a medium light beige head that recedes quickly. Thin rings of lacing on the glass. Mildly sweet toasted malt aroma. Light body with sweet caramel malt flavor and faint hops. The finish is sweet and malty and does not linger long. About what I expected overall.

Location: Tap at a Chili's, Fall '08
Overall Impression: Had this on draft for the first time after I'd seen quadruple digit commercials, not bad tho, better then expected, even if they advertise it like it has to be given away.

Grassy with light citrus hops and a slight malt aroma on this crystal clear amber beer. Flavor has some lemon and citrus in it but overpowered by the grass. I can’t agree with those who say this tastes like normal Budweiser, it tastes like a mediocre amber ale. Nothing more, nothing less.

12 oz. bottle. From "mix-a-six" rack at Jewel. Actually a bit of a surprise. A brown bottle with a non-screwtop crown. Definite malt smell with a nosegay of hops that spreads out when I pour. Amber body with a pale ale head instead of fizzy macro pop foam. There’s some malt in the taste. Yes, some hops that are balanced more in favor of the malt. Not a boatload of PNW hops, just a profile that can repeated from year to year and in many breweries. Mouthfeel does come across a little brittle, like a light beer, the only real ding against it. Like the kid down the street who wants to be Honkers Ale when grows up.

Tried it to see if a macro could make a nice ale, I was wrong, still one sitting in the frig if anyone wants it.

Promo bottle from Sunset Grill Winter 2008. Yawn. Not horrid, just a little stale tasting, with some acetyldehyde and, gasp, actual hoppiness. Candy sweetness from underfermented malts. The hops are on par with something you’d find in a brewpub golden ale. Noticeable, but imparting nearly no bitterness. Who is the target demographic for this? Certainly not craft brew drinkers and certainly not hardened bud/bud lite drinkers. Next.
