I recived a sample of this from a rep it had the white generic lable on it.I am going to preface this review by saying that I have never liked a budweiser product before this, I have an extreme dislike of their beers, but this was quite good in my opinion, I had to have a second to make sure I was not crazy
Appearance: nice darker than expected amber color
Aroma: good scents of hops(WTF hops in an AB product??)citusy and slightly floral, also caramel and some toast
Taste: I thought it was damn good. nice slightly sweet start the aromas were there in the flavor and there was a nice cascade hop bite at the end but not over powering(scary there was a hoppiness??). Very well balanced, not either too malty or too hopy but there was plenty of flavor
mouthfeel: I thought it was a little thin for what it was....the only disappointment to me.
drinkablity:This is very drinkable, very much a sesion type APA, and in my opinion could be a revalation to the masses who buy beer based on name and not taste. they are going to get a good flavorful beer from AB

I am sorry Budweiser discontinued this.
It was a pretty good beer --
a bit on the bland side,
but with a nice texture.
Sort of like Sam Adams with less taste.
I liked that if I was in the middle of nowhere I could often find this.
Not my first choice, but decent.
They should bring it back.

Weak compared to craft ales. Low IBU taste. Best description is watered taste or a bigger ale. Flavor not bad but weak and leaves early.

Solid looking beer, equal parts yellow and amber. Solid 1" of white head, retained itself well. Aroma seemed like cascade hops. Noticeable.
Malt bill up, all barley, caramel notes, still a little more hopping. Somewhere in between Budweiser and Fat Tire/Boston Lager, this is going in that direction. Finishes crisp and dry, this really wasn't a bad beer, I just don't think it really had a niche to find its place. Good to see their ale yeast program was good.
