I finally got my little paws on this Bud American Ale recently.
I hereby dub it, "Brown Bud."
I was intrigued to quaff some of these suds since I had a Michelob Porter a while back that was pretty good. A-B's porter is no Boulevard "Bully" Porter, but it ain't bad.
For an industrial brew, A-B's "American" Ale is serviceable. For an Amber Ale it has a medium to light heaviness with some subtle hoppiness. I would like for the brew to be a bit more aggressively hopped. Both Anchor's Liberty Ale and Sierra Nevada Pale Ale use a good but not mouth-puckering amount of Cascade hops, and Bud American Ale could have used more Cascade since that's the type of hops they're referencing in their advertising.
Sierra Nevada Pale Ale is a hard ale to beat though.

Or Old Style or Schlitz.
I am a fan of Baracktoberfest.

A buddy from work had the Baracktoberfest and he said it was served in a glass that was wrapped in a brown bag. He was then escorted to the alley to finish it.
Taste wise he reported it as a cross b/w Ole E and Schlitz Malt.
