When this came out, there was a big push by AB to get it noticed like it was the next big thing. Come to think of it, I haven't seen it in any stores either for awhile now. @Steve – that is interesting.

It loses points on hops. There are none and the taste is kind of one-dimensional, at the same price point as Samuel Adams, I would take almost any of their varieties over this.

It was the first beer of the night that my buddy Boggs and I had. When he offered it to me I was a little apprehensive. We both liked the aroma. Then came the first sip. Let me say that we were both surprised. Not great but definately not a bad tasting ale either. A hundred times better than the so called "king of beers". I would drink it again with no qualms. I believe that AB could make it better if they cared to do so. Had AB American Ale for the first time on Superbowl Sunday. It was the first beer of the night that my buddy Boggs and I had.

It's not a micro-brew. But it is better by far than anything that you can get from AB at this time. My girlfriend purchased a six for me as a gift. When I looked at it I thought, "Oh no. Not another one! Not another Miller MGD! " But honestly, it has a nice head, a fetching aroma. And it does not have the aftertaste that I expected. Because I expected a horrible aftertaste. Not a great beer. But not bad. That says it. Just not bad. Would drink again. When my brother comes up from Florida I'm going to give him this in a blind taste test. I respect his authority on all things beer because he taught me everything I know about home brewing. BTW this reminds me of a home brew in a way. Not a lot of carbonation in it.

The beer's decent: not great, but not horrible, either. What it has going for it is AB's distribution system. AB should be able to get this beer in almost anywhere if they so choose. And this means that if I'm ever out with friends somewhere that doesn't have a good beer selection, American Ale might be a good "go to" beer. Take sports arenas, for example. Sure, you can pay $9 for a 12oz. plastic cup of Guinness in SOME sports venues. But if they sell Guinness at all, it'll probably be at just one concession stand (in my case, it's ALWAYS on the other side of the arena!). Having American Ale as a cheaper, more convenient option is cool in my book! <abbr><em>Jim’s last blog post..<a href="http://jimcofer.com/personal/?p=2312" rel="nofollow">Quote of the Day</a></abbr></em> I think the best thing about this beer *is* who makes it: AB.
