Appearance - Copper-orange tone with wispy head and virtually no lacing.
Smell - Ocean salinity, mild candied fruit and a little caramel.
Taste - Same as smell with some biscuity grain in the middle. Taste wants to remind me of a sweeter Coniston Blue Bird Bitter. Unfortunately the finish is off. Some noticeable off flavor in the finish.
Mouthfeel & Drinkability - Both were fine
I must say that I'm quite surprised how much I liked this beer. Anyone who is a fan of English mild, bitter, esb should enjoy this beer. Very sessionable

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.
