"The beer poured with exactly the same pale yellow as Budweiser. But, unlike Bud, no head whatsoever formed - just a few individual bubbles that gathered loosely at the top then quickly fell away. The aroma was very light with only the faintest hints of non-distinct sweetness. The flavor was the same, mostly watery with only a touch of sweetness. There was no evidence of hops to be found anywhere. " Brewery

Budweiser pours a very pale yellow, lighter than Pilsner. It is quite effervescent and forms a thick head during the pour. The head consists of fairly large bubbles and falls quickly. The nose is virtually nonexistent though some hunting yields the faintest of sweet malt character and just a touch of wood. The flavor was equally subtle. A bland sweetness lingers throughout though a wateriness is dominate. The watery character and effervescence produces a thin mouthfeel with a bit of a sting from the carbonation. The flavor finishes with a faint, lingering sweetness. From the pour through the finish I detected absolutely no hops. Also largely absent was that woody character that I remembered so distinctly. Seems AB changed the recipe over the last few years.
