| Live Slow, Die Whenever  |
My stepfather brought over a box tonight for turkey day tomorrow. Im not a fan of anything InBev usually, but even a broken clock is right twice a day. Tried one bottle in a glass tonight, and I have to admit its pretty good. Its a bit on the malty side, which is to be expected for a 6% lager. Very similar to yuengling traditional lager, which I think is what they were shooting for. So beer fans, fear not the hype and give it a shot. https://www.bevindustry.com/ar...-reserve-amber-lager "I won't be wronged, I won't be insulted, and I won't be laid a hand on.

I agree that they seem to be aiming for Yuengling, but I think they missed. I like Yuenging, but did not care for this stuff. | |||

Yes, but I have to remind myself when I drink it that its a Budweiser product, so on their scale it gets an easy A. Compared to other high quality lagers, its a C at best. I think the main negative quality to it is its high malt taste vs a complex amber lager flavor. "I won't be wronged, I won't be insulted, and I won't be laid a hand on.

I'm a Sam Adams Boston Lager drinker. I can do Yeungling, but much prefer the Adams. I was thinking about trying some of this just to see. ----------------------------------------------------------- TCB all the time... | |||

My first impression after skimming the article is that they are making an all malt beer rather than their usual addition of adjuncts of rice or corn or other, in the tradition of post prohibition American macro breweries. In the war between American light beer companies and micro brews, I never understood why they wouldn't make an all malt beer. They are good at what they do. They should have done it a decade(s) ago. | |||

The TV commercial show a close up of a bottle being opened with a bottle opener. It's plainly a screw top. I thought that was a no-no. | |||

I agree. I bought a 12 pack. It's pretty good... but I won't buy another. There's too much out there that's better in the same price range. St. Louis is no longer an A-B company town!

Why would that be a no no, other than seeming kind of dumb? | |||

They've got a new 6% Bud Light called Premium (I believe) as well that I accidentally picked up a few weeks back. It was horrible. ________________________________________________________ "Great danger lies in the notion that we can reason with evil." Doug Patton. | |||

Platinum. Now there's a new Anheuser-Busch product called Bud Light Platinum. The angle here is that it has fewer calories than Budweiser (though barely, at 137 per bottle to Bud's 145; Bud Light has 110) but higher alcohol (6%, compared to Bud's 5 and Bud Light's 4.2). It's a pretty neat trick to increase alcohol while decreasing calories, so this seemed worth investigating. http://drinks.seriouseats.com/...ud-light-review.html "Some things are apparent.

That's it. Yuck. Tasted like beer syrup. ________________________________________________________ "Great danger lies in the notion that we can reason with evil." Doug Patton. | |||

May break off bits of glass into the bottle. I have done this myself. | |||

If you go into any high volume bar where they sling a ton of bottled beer all of the bartenders have openers. There simply isn't time to hand twist every bottle top, not to mention the wear and tear on hands after opening 100's of beers in a night. If this was a real issue I am sure that it would be happening 100's of times a night in bars....which it isn't. ______________________________ “I'd like to know why well-educated idiots keep apologizing for lazy and complaining people who think the world owes them a living.” ― John Wayne | |||

Yeah, I bought a can of it on the recommendation of a friend who isn't really a beer drinker. It tasted like cheap malt liquor to me. ______________________________________________ Endeavoring to master the art of the grapefruit spoon. | |||

I saw the ads on TV, so when it appeared in my local market I bought a six-pack. I thought it was pretty good and bought a second six-pack, but now it appears to be gone. I usually avoid the In Bev/Budweiser brands because they are rather thin and flavorless to me, yet I thought the Repeal Reserve was tasty. | |||
