Had a chance to try the new Budweiser Ale the other night and have to say I liked it.
Anybody know of a similar extract Ale recipe that is already out there?
 
I think if you started with an extra malty amber ale, cut back on everything and then use cascade hops, and perhaps use some rice to "Thin it down" a bit I think you'd be pretty close.
I'm going to have to watch this pretty close.....I'll bet someone here can nail it down.
 
It's a lightly hopped American Amber Ale with 5.1% ABV.

They use 4 different hop verities in the brewing process. I'm guessing Williamette and Cascade flavor/aroma would make a good stab at it. Ferment with a clean finishing American Ale yeast WLP001, WY1056, SafAle US-05.

Here's my Amber converted to Extract with modified hopping schedule.
