Michelob Ultra Amber:
Hello all and welcome to a first ever combo here in beer land (or is it beertopia?) and, hopefully- God willing - it’ll be the last.  Yes friends I’m talking about beer and fitness. Yeah re-read that agian folks and believe me, it ain’t no typo.  So Michelob Ultra was one of the sponsors of Lance Armstrong and, while they are not renewing their deal with him (it expires at the end of the 2012), he is still front and center on their web page but that’s not the real absurdity here, that is found once you prove you’re of age.  Inside the Michelob website they have *gulp* fitness challenges…I need to sit down.  Okay, now while was regaining my composure I think I won’t be rushing to challenge my friends on the number of up-hill bike climbs or teach them how to properly tape an ankle (both of which area available on the website) but I will drink the beer so you good people can know what to expect.  The beer pours a slightly darkened blonde color with a lot of noticeable carbonation with a white head and a slight nose of malts.  The beers taste starts off with a slight banana flavor with very noticeable carbonation and a mid tongue of malts and a slight hint of alcohol.  The rest of the beer is very absent in flavor -which really isn’t surprising at all- and there is only a slight hint of flavor that is slightly above mediocre tap water.  Yep, not a good beer, at all.  I do enjoy some of Michelob’s regular lines but this, this doesn’t deserve to even be called an amber beer, little lone a beer.  Now who wants to join me in planning an up-hill bike ride with properly taped ankles?
