Where is it Brewed?: 
St. Louis, MO
Style: 
Amber Lager

Okay, I admit it, I bought this beer by accident but I ended up being pleasantly surprised.  RedBridge is an amber lager made by Anheuser Busch.  Interestingly it is not brewed with either wheat or barley, but sorghum.  The lager looks great when poured and has good carbonation (I would expect nothing less from AB).  The lager is medium bodied, malty, no sulphur character to speak of, and hangs together well--its mouthfeel has a distinct flavor that I imagine is the sorghum (not nutty but gummy--no pun intended).  The RedBridge website describes the beer as moderately hopped, but in my opinion it has low hop aromas and bitterness.  Give it a try.

You're right.  I guess

You're right.  I guess Anheuser Busch doesn't really exist anymore.  What a bummer.
