Here is another beer from the new Budweiser Project Twelve collection pack, this is a review of Budweiser Batch No. 91406.
This is the second beer from the collection that I've reviewed thus far, with the first being Batch No. 23185. And like the last beer, this is another Amber Lager. This beer is a little darker than Batch No. 23185, and is brewed with four different hops, two row and caramel malts, and finished with beechwood chips. That all sounds fancy and whatnot but at the end of the day, this is still a Budweiser beer and not a real craft beer like they are hoping to make it seem.
Regardless, let's see how it tastes...
Budweiser's Project Twelve Batch No. 91406 pours a medium amber color with a quickly dissipating, relatively thin white head. It smells pretty much of just light caramel malts and not much else. Tasting brings mild flavors of sweet caramel, hints of maple, moderately toasted malts and a vague hint of hops in the finish. Obviously having hops here is surprising because with typical Budweisers, they're pretty much nonexistent. As with all Budweisers the mouthfeel remains crisp and clean, perhaps too much so, but hey, that's Budweiser's style.
All in all (and surprisingly) a decent beer. I could drink several of these in a sitting while doing something else, but it's definitely not something you would want to sit and savor. It remains more of a session beer. And like the last Budweiser Project Twelve beer I reviewed, I'm hoping it gets more boring, watery beer drinkers into trying some craft beers. But it is in my humble yet awesome opinion, the best Budweiser I've tried. That's still not saying much compared to the entire realm of beers, but hey, it's just a Budweiser.
Drink This: if you want to try the best Budweiser out there.
Don't Drink This: if you want a real craft beer or a beer with tons of flavor. This is still really quite mild all things considered.
Cheers!
