#73 Anheuser-Busch - 2007 Brew Master Private Reserve 2007
In the trend from this weekend and Special Releases from St. Louis Breweries tonight I have a special release from Anheuser-Busch. I've seen this for sale before at the store and been curious about it. I think it is release every year and is available throughout the country. It's always fun to see what special beer such a big brewery can create.
In the smell of this beer I am again getting a light chalky smell that I have gotten from other Lagers. I might be interpreting this smell incorrectly. I can also smell so malt sweetness, but no noticeable hops. The color is a rich brown that is crystal clear. There is a good thick head of foam on the beer that even makes it hard to pour.
This beer has a strange taste. I can get some high proof alcohol taste, and some sweetness. There is also some conflicting hops flavor that is not well balanced with the malt. There is a slight bitterness and a grainy taste at the finish of the beer. The bottle says this beer is brewed with four different malts, that could be causing the odd taste, I think I have noticed this taste in home brews brewed with a number of different malts. The mouthfeel is medium with a bit of carbonation.
This is a big changes from Bud Light, but change is not always good. This beer has a very strange taste, I wonder if it would get better with a little age. I am interest in getting another and letting it sit, but this is an eleven dollar Magnum (1.5 liters) of beer that I am going to have to force down, I don't think I'll be rushing to buy anymore. I am excited to get the nice bottle to use for my home brew if that counts for anything.
