Budweiser American Ale: 16

Taste: 5 Finish: 4 Visual: 4 Aroma: 3
Total: 16

Bud comes out with their first ale. Surprisingly, it looks great. Good amber color with a full head. It has a sweet malt aroma. No hops or citrus.

It is very sweet. Lots of malt up front. There is a bit of dryness at the end which shows there are a few hops in here. But certainly not like what the bottle says. Closing my eyes I'll tell you exactly what this tastes like. Yeungling but sweeter. With a bit of a stretch, it tastes as if Yeungling made an Octoberfest beer. Actually, that's not a bad thing. But, they certainly have not made anything that tastes like an ale. No way, no how. I don't care how they made it. This tastes like a lager.
