Overall one of my favorite beers to "splurge" on. Found it with a buddy over the summer. He warned me it was a little stout. Well, let's just say he's a light beer drinker.

Pours a nice light mahogany with an almost creamy looking head that sticks around for a minute or two. Light lacing. Good first impression, with mainly malts. A little sweet. Very few hops bitterness. Mouthfeel is light for an American Red, but a good balance of carbonation and weight. Hints of caramel and an almost woody taste.

Just edited this now that my taste is a little more refined, and I don't care who you are, this stuff is good. A while of not having it has made me appreciate it that much more. There is very little in the negative department I can say about this one. I hope Budweiser keeps it around a long time.

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.
