So I was at my bar on Friday night (and yes, it is mine, I've certainly paid for it) and the bartender gave me a sample bottle of Budweiser's new American Ale to try.
Now a bit of history... I used to be a Bud Light guy all the way, I thought Miller had a slightly bitter taste. Then I figured with as much beer as I tend to consume, the lower calorie/carb Miller Lite was probably a better option so I switched. Since that time, drinking Bud Light gives me a freaking terrible headache so I stay far away. But I digress...
The bartender thought the BAL tasted a bit like Killians... I personally didn't get that. I thought it was VERY similar in flavor to Sam Adams. But then I swallowed, and... there was no body whatsoever. Imagine a Sam Adams flavor with Michelob Ultra body - except the Michelob Ultra Amber even has more strength than this. Your brain tastes the heavy flavor and expects a heavy weight that just isn't there, so it didn't quite work for me. Sure, if someone sets a bottle in front of me I'd drink it, but I doubt I'll order it on my own.
