“The original Budweiser brewery is, of course, here in St. Louis, so we wanted to honor our brewing heritage with a beer that uses ingredients that German immigrants, like our founder Adolphus Busch, would have used when they came to the United States,” Bicklein said. “In this pilsner we use the same types of Hallertau and Tettnang hops commonly used in St. Louis during the late 1800s.”

12 oz bottle picked up in some random store in San Fransisco and brought back to the UK to review at leasure. Poured into a ’Back Forty’ Beer Co straight sided glass on 3 May 2013. Regular lager look: golden, clear and clean, white head. The aroma was semi-sweet floral and fruity: a lot more aromatic than most pilsner/lager beers. The taste was also semi-sweet with a fruity feel within the flavours. I like sweeter brews and this was fine for me. If this beer had a non-Budweiser label its scores would be a lot higher: it deserves to be appreciated more. Well done Bud: one of your best beers that I’ve had anyway.

Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a dark amber color with a large creamy orange-white head that lingered and left a bit of lacing. The aroma was sour, tangy and industrial. The flavor was sour and tangy with notes of bead and honey though a touch bitter. Medium length tangy bread and honey finish. Moderately full bodied. Fairly pleasant.

12oz bottle poured into a shaker. Pours a clear, dark gold with some very thin head. Aroma of bread and light citrus. Taste is cery lightly bitter. Mostly grains. Light bodied with a thin texture. Fizzy carbonation but a lasting finish. Overall, meh. Its ok but not super.

Bottle as shown. Pours a hazy yellow gold with a medium frothy white head that lasts awhile leaving spotty lacing along the glass. The aroma is corn malt and honey. Medium mouthfeel with the flavor similar to the aroma and a bit soapy. Not much going on with this one.

Disappointing start. Wanted a spicy noble hop nose and got nothing at all. The beer is almost odorless, and I’m a bit stymied. At most it smells like a slice of white bread. The label was correct with the color, deep gold. Head faded fast in the fluted pilsner glass. Malts are sweet and grainy, there’s a bit of hop bitterness at the finish, a little spicy leafy somewhere in the flavor, but its barely present, just enough to keep this from tasting like a malt liquor, which is basically what the malts come through like. Yes, its feels like a slightly cleaner version of a malt liquor, with slightly more hops to boot. Finishable but otherwise a real let down.

You can tell that bud put a lot of effort into trying not to insult anybody with these special brew.Yes, easy to drink but a little sharper than the 23185 which was sharper than the 91406 so I guess this makes it the one with the most personality. Never over the top on all three. Just a simple pale yellow beer with a nice creamy head, all three of these had creamy heads. OK all gone and not bad. Never sharp or nasty like so many astringent craft brew pilsner wanna bees.

12oz bottle. I don’t know why you’d want to make a 6% Pilsener. Pale, soulless orange-tan. Odd snaky carbonation bubbles. Thin, oily head. Dulled malt aroma, not offensive, not enticing. Really fails to capture the zest and crispness of a Pils. Too sweet and malty, makes you wonder what they were thinking. Better than regular Budweiser, but had some corny factory action going on for sure. Bullshit.

Golden coloured body with a thick, five centimetre tall just off-white head. Aroma of pale malt, alcohol, cardboard, rice and not much at all - pretty bad. Light-bodied; Subtle malt note with some cardboard and grain right behind, a hint of alcohol and some rice, malt and basementy flavours. Aftertaste shows a dull maltiness with absolutely nothing else worthwhile. Overall, a pretty poor offering, worse than the other one I had from this series so far, and not worth buying - nothing interesting here. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Liqour Outlet in Boonton, New Jersey on 12-December-2012 for US$0.98 sampled at home in Washington on 07-January-2013.
