Anyone else tried Budweiser American Ale?

[Maluco]

haha, I went to a bar this past weekend that advertised domestic drafts for $3. Yet somehow, "Budweiser American" Ale didn't fall under domestic drafts. It was $5 so I told them to fk off and bring me a Blue Moon.

Fkng idiots.

[CleanAzzE30z]

American Ale=Relabeled Budweiser?

No, it tastes just like Goose Island beer. (Who is in part owned and distributed by Anheuser-Busch)

Overall: 7. A very safe American Ale. Keep in mind, they aren't claiming this to be an IPA. Let's be realistic here, this beer is bound to be trashed and looked down upon from the start by beer snobs and homebrewers alike. I can't see this beer being designed for them. I view it as almost a "starter" beer for those who've only previously indulged in college kegger beers. Maybe you're 23 or 24, you've gotten your first real job where it's allowing you to put some bread in your pocket and you're looking to enjoy some of the finer things in life. Budweiser's response to Fat Tire, anyone?

It really is a wholly drinkable beer. One of the positive things it has going for it is the name behind it. How often have you been at a bar where your only choices for draft beer are Miller Lite, Bud, or Coors Light and their specialty beer is Killians? This is where American Ale can be valuable. It's tough to readily find a beer with any sort of hop presence at your typical neighborhood bar.

So the Belgians bought out Anheiser Bush and suddenly they make great beer called "American Ale"??

Probably doesn't have much to do with this, compared to the increase of sale of American craft beers and Bud wanting a stake in that market.

The local British pub recently getting Franziskaner beer on the menu is likely rooted in the InBev deal.

not really that great

this shit is my jam. youre in ca, it should be everywhere

[Nic01101011]

how cheap is it?

[hugh jass]

Its a nice full bodied ale that isn't too hoppy. Definitely nothing like regular bud.

[JAM]

[netcsk]

Yeah, I've been wondering about it. I'll have to give it a try now.

American Ale=Relabeled Budweiser?

All I will say is that it is better than the piss that they are accustomed to brewing. It is by no means a great beer though.

[gazellebeigem3]

I was pleasantly surprised by how good it is.

[Collin]

I'm scared to try it as it has Budweiser on the label.
