Anheuser-Busch Does Belgian?

I'll just leave you to ponder this for a while....

At 5:45 PM, Chris said...: IF it was good (big "IF") I'd gladly admit it. In fact, I think I praised them a while ago for Redbridge. Not only is it the best gluten-free beer I've tried, it's quite possibly the best thing I've ever had from A-B...

Unfortunately our local A-B reps seem too concerned with pushing the main line products, so chances are even if it becomes available it'll be tough to find around here...

My notes:

Faust Early American Pilsner - Lotsa Saaz and a little Hallertau, a yeast that reminded me of the Brewmaster Private Reserve. Body was too light (as usual) but the hopping rate generous for AB

Grade=B-

Faust Dortmunder - All malt grain bill featuring Munich and Pale malts giving it a nice firm body...darker golden color than I expected. Hops are 100% Hallertau and will serve as a decent palate-trainer for my sales force.

Grade=B

Faust Dubbel - Dark copper body with Burgundy hues. Grain bill is Munich, roasted, and Caramel-80. Yeast is undetermined but very tasty, imparting a sweet, passionfruit midtaste with a roasty finish dotted with hints of banana.

Grade=A-
