Bobby M your assessment is probably right on. It's nearly impossible for a homebrewer to make anything even close to as bad as Bud, the king of $hit...... er beer, I guess.

There's no way I'll forget that taste...I look forward to the hydrometer samples to see how it mellows. It's just bizarre that I haven't encountered this in 20+ batches. Here's to Goldings

Bottled that sucker two days ago and forgot to update...you're right, that certainly was green beer. It tastes really well balanced now...maybe still on the green side, but certainly balanced with the malt. I'll give it a few weeks in the bottle and update this. I understand this beer can be consumed pretty young, yes?

Happened to look it up lately. On the Budweiser site they are claiming 1.045->1.009 = 5.0% ABV, US + Euro hops, 8.5 IBU.

I couldn't find jack doodle about the grain bill except we know USA 6 row and rice.

You are close, but twice as hopped.
