2talltim Posted February 3, 2013 Report Share Posted February 3, 2013 (edited) I put a pic of this in the beer pic thread because i picked up a 6 of it last night.Well i was curious if it were new or not so i looked it up. And to my suprise it isn't supposed to hit the shelves till tomorrow 2/3/13 and i pick it up 2 days early(somebody fucked up). http://www.budweiser.com/en/us/content/black-crown/article/blackcrown Edited February 3, 2013 by 2talltim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSB67 Posted February 3, 2013 Report Share Posted February 3, 2013 I think it's funny that the hand pulling the curtain back looks like a thumbs down. I see that your pic indicates twist-off removed, so what's the verdict? Since they prominently feature the 6.0% ABV, I would be afraid it's just their Bud "Platinum."

Since they prominently feature the 6.0% ABV, I would be afraid it's just their Bud "Platinum."Yup its a twist off, even though i used a opener on it..LOLIts a very smooth drinkable 6% amber beer. Little thicker feel and sweeter taste than reg Bud, not quite as bitter as Yuengling. Its no craft beer but for something different i will prob switch to it every now and then. I've been looking for something to replace my Sam Adams Winter Lager for the off season and this might be it(for awhile). Much better than Platinum Edited February 3, 2013 by 2talltim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2talltim Posted February 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2013 was watching some reviews and this guy is funny as hell but i agree with him 100%...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZB-Q2sPsGwo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAC Posted February 3, 2013 Report Share Posted February 3, 2013 So, it's basically Yuengling only $1.50 or so more a six-pack.Pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shadyone Posted February 3, 2013 Report Share Posted February 3, 2013 After seeing this I went out and got me a 6er to try. First taste. Much better than bud/bud light/ and platinum. I'm a yuengling fan and this is very similar but with a distinct Budweiser flavor yet. It's very smooth and refreshing unlike the platinum which I think has a slight bite to it. I could drink this all night for sure. Kinda wishing I had the 12 pack now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad324 Posted February 3, 2013 Report Share Posted February 3, 2013 Got a free bottle of it last night at the bar. Took two sips and it tasted like ass so I gave it to my buddies little bro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smashweights Posted February 3, 2013 Report Share Posted February 3, 2013 If there's one good thing about the buyout of Anheuser-Busch by InBev it's that they've been trying to subtly introduce the "light beer" crowd to more flavor. A smart move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strawboss Posted May 10, 2013 Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 In my opinion, its just the old "American Ale" from a few years back repackaged. I also think its great trying to get folks to drink beer the way its supposed to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gixxus Christ! Posted May 10, 2013 Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 Everyone is jumping on the American amber lager bandwagon now that yeungling went nationwide with great success. Since then you have Coors with batch 19, miller with 3rd shift and a-b with black whatever the fuck. None of them taste as good and all of them cost more than yeungling.

Steve Butters Posted May 10, 2013 Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 yuengling isnt nationwide, so finding an alternative is nice.no yuengling here in the grand canyon state .....yuengling is good for a cheap beer, but its not the be all end all either....ill survive....just trying to find a new cheap beer i like...been drinking Dos Equis lately and its not bad...black crown isnt bad either, may start drinking it more oftenhavent drank black crown since i got drunk one night and started spiking it with jack daniels tennessee honey....i didnt feel well after a few of those concoctions and just havent really gave it another shot lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gixxus Christ! Posted May 10, 2013 Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 My local hole has yeungling lord chesterfield ale for $2/bottle until they run out so that's what I've been drinking. Its not a real refined place as far as taste, they still have Sam Adams winter ale and until a few weeks ago had great lakes Xmas ale. More of a bud light bar.

baptizo Posted May 11, 2013 Report Share Posted May 11, 2013 I've had some Yuengling along with some Troegenator Double Bock tonight - got a little buzzy for the first time in eons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also think its great trying to get folks to drink beer the way its supposed to be.I liked the American Ale better. It was the cheapest non-twist beer available, so I drank a lot of it to get bottles for home brewing :-p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron505 Posted May 11, 2013 Report Share Posted May 11, 2013 I like Black Crown. And the 6% is just a bonus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2talltim Posted May 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2013 I actually drank it for a couple months after i posted this and lost the taste for it. But I'm all the time switching it up, hell lately I've been drinking Miller Lite of all things, and i used to hate it.

DAC Posted May 12, 2013 Report Share Posted May 12, 2013 I finally tried this when it went on sale and as someone else said, it's smoother than Yeungling and overall pretty good. I like Warsteiner Dunkel best in this type of beer.Now that Bell's Oberon is out, I'll be ignoring this amber stuff for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
