Finally found a single of this beer to try. It's like a scab that needs picked at. I honestly hope this beer is decent,living in WV this could be a nice alternative to the BMC beers avalible at my local bars. Here's hoping for the best.
Poured a 12oz bottle into a nonic glass Damn i nearly ripped flesh of my thumb trying to twist off the cap,it's crimmped on. Hopefully a good sign. Poured a nice very clear medium amber/coppery color with very few bubbles rising with a nice very creamy bone white head sprouting up with decent retention leaving a few nice curtians of lace down the glass.
Sweet carmell malts aromas, delicate and yet very detectable. Some crisp clean fruitiness. No unpleasant aromas,no hop aromas either.
Clean tasting with light sweet candied maltiness with a touch of fruitiness with a peach/pear taste. Good balance with a crisp light pleasing citrusy finish. Leaves some nice tart fruitiness with lots of peach and pears tastes lingering with a touch of citrus. Yes, this does have drinkability, a pleasant suprized from A-B and no strange aftertastes either.

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.
