Bottle, in US. Backlog entry. Entering my historic scores for US beers whilst visiting New York. No tasting notes kept, just rating.

Bottle. For what it is, I thought that this was much better than what you’d expect from Anheuser. Their reputation would be much higher if this was their ’standard’ brew instead of bud/bud light.

Sampled on tap at Maxfields. Fizzy yellow beer with a white head. Bizarre lemony aroma with rotten eggs. Standard lager taste, a bit sweet and really boring. Good thing it was free.

I am always suspicious when I try something from this brewer. They have very little to recommend them. I got this one in the 16 oz aluminum bottle. I was a bit suspicious of this packaging but in the end found it to be a bit on the cool side. It poured a medium golden color with a medium sized white head. The aroma was faint and vaguely sour. The flavor initially was very mild but smooth. Really there was little flavor other than a vague sour malt. Then I happened to let it warm up a bit. Ugh. As it warmed the adjuncts became more clear and the flavor became stronger and worse. I guess if all you were interested in was pounding it down cold you could get by, but if you let it warm ever so slightly it is only worthy of being pounded down your kitchen sink.

Pours yellow with a fizzy white head. No aroma and the taste is minimal. I guess your average beer drinker would suck this down in a hury. Bland, lifeless and WAY overpriced.

This is the first time I have paid my own money for an A-B beer in living memory. Whoever these top brewmasters from around the world are, they obviously spent countless hours and spared no expense...coming up with the name. The beer is below average, which is the highest praise I have ever given a macro. Pours a clear and bubbly gold color with a thin white head and little lacing. Mild hops aroma. Light and crisp with a weak hops flavor and maybe even some nuttyness. The finish is thin and lightly bitter, and it seems they are hoping for the Pilsner Urquell skunk after this sits on the shelves in the green bottle for awhile. Luckily I got a fresh bottle. Satisfied my curiosity but I won’t ever get it again.

I have to admit, the bottle this beer comes in is pretty classy, although very "corporate." However, the beer inside is deceptively average. Hops are present and create a slightly earthy bitterness, especially in the aftertaste. Malt is light and slightly sweet. Tastes like a weak pilsener and is definitely not worth $7.99/6.

Straw Gold. Fizzy fading head. Light aroma, almost non-existent. Hint of grass and sulfur, maybe butter or corn. Flavor equally light, clean and empty. Certainly approaching water and is basically refreshing slightly beery carbonated water. Weakest of malts up front, light hops rise in the finish, barely detectable. Impressively clean, though. This is as drinkable as the style can be, although this beer is surely very skunkable in the green bottle (careful selection from a dark shelf prevented my sample from being light struck - to which it is no doubt prone).

Succesful in that is extraordinarily bad for all of the talk on the label and its name. Maybe they should have challenged the brewers to make something good? Imagine that.
