Then I read, it was free. So I get it. It might be an ok representation of an ale, but I will still refuse to ever buy it. To me, AB is nothing more than a corporate monster looking to wedge themselves into the ever growing microbrew scene, for nothing more than making a profit, and shoving the little guy out of business. With that said, I'm sure there are a few rednecks who really want to think they are above the average beer drinker and will buy it for a specail occasion (like grandpa finally getting his GED). But it the long run, it is just an other average beer. Thanks, but no thanks. At first, I was a little upset that you actually tried it. Then I read, it was free. So I get it.

I talked for several minutes to the Bud rep there and he told me they wanted to put out a drink that was more than just a Bud. They pumped up the hops quite a bit with Cascade being the predominent hop here. It was a nice change of pace beer, still seemed rather light but the flavor and aroma weren't bad. Would I ever go out and buy one? Well if the choice at a restaurant was only regular Bud and this, I'd probably choose the Ale but I'd probably not stock up for my own home enjoyment.

Not awesome but not bad. As many have said it's not offensive and easy to drink. I too thought the beer was a “good” beer. Not awesome but not bad.

No one cares about your opinion. On anything. Consider yourself banned from the greatest homebrewing blog of all time. Travis, you are a scoundrel and a knave. No one cares about your opinion.
