Budweiser Project 12 Batch 23185

Anheuser-Busch challenged the brew-masters at each of their 12 breweries to come up with unique recipes, six of which were selected for inclusion in sampler packs. Batch 23185 (the zip code of Williamsburg Virginia  where it originated) is a light amber lager aged on bourbon staves and spiced with vanilla beans. It reminds me a little of Michelob Winter's Cask Ale, back before every stab at a craft type beer was under the Michelob label and not the Shock Top. Overall it's not a bad beer, if unremarkable. The bourbon and oak comes through subtly, as does the vanilla. Might make a decent session beer, but not enough of a personality to hold its own.
