What? A good beer from Anheuser?
Posted on September 21st, 2006 by Brian Corbino
Michelob Amber Bock. Got it on a lark. Figured “What the hell, I’ve been surprised before”. The guy said it was Anheuser’s answer to Killian’s (a Coors product).
And it ain’t bad. Medium red-amber. It’s not a traditional bock by any means, but it is pretty robust compared to the traditional offerings (even for Michelob). Relatively mild in terms of hop character, malty character, good finish.
Color me pleasantly surprised. I suspect that this is a direct result of the popularity of the many craft brews that literally exploded in the early nineties. And that’s not a bad thing.
