budweiser american ale.

I got a six pack last week. All things considered, a much better brew than I expected. Fresh and unoffensive, easy to drink, and totally lacking in the grossness of pilsners. It is a really nice compromise, and departure from the heavy brews.

A tad hoppier than I like, but hey, it isn't perfect. I could drink an entire 6 pack in a sitting, I have a feeling.

I liked it. Could be a bit more hoppier, I thought.

I bought a six but I haven't cracked one open yet. Heard a lot of good things about it, though.

I was waiting to hear something from trusted sources before I spent money on Bud. I think I'll give it a go.

I have wanted to try it. I would expect it to be well crafted but missing some character.

If you like malty beers more than hoppy beers, I think you'll like it. Is it the best ever? Uh, no.

But it's one of the better brews coming out of AB.

Haven't seen it in the stores around here yet.

Wonder if they'll sell it in a 10oz can? People here won't drink it otherwise.

Yeah, cuz I drank most of it!

I wasn't expecting much from it and was pleasantly surprised that it was a pretty good ale. I'd definitely pick it over regular Budweiser lager.

I found it to taste like regular Bud, but slightly maltier and slightly hoppier. Given that I don't like the way Bud tastes, I found it disagreeable. More flavorful, but disagreeable.
