Beer-a-Day #207
Michelob used to be the upscale brand in the Anheuser-Busch stable. No yelling former athletes, no snarky comedians, no scantilly-clad women. I do recall one commercial featured Eric Clapton doing a redone version of “After Midnight“. Then it seemed to be mostly neglected, with A-B tinkering with the formula, only restoring Michelob to an all-malt formula recently.
Of course, now Anheuser-Busch InBev is repurposing the brand as their “faux craft” line. I’ll have to try out the new flavors. In the meantime, I scored one of the last of the original lagers in the new/old style bottles.
Pale amber with a white head. A bit of fruit in the aroma (apples?). Taste is pretty good, if a little overcarbonated. Not bad for a light lager.
