America's Largest Selling Ale is a fine cream ale with a little more bitterness than the other in its category.The smell is not the best. A beautiful clear light yellow colour and a nice creamy head that stays for a good moment before fading away if properly poured. It has a good level of carbonation despite the creaminess. An interesting dosage of hoppyness and other grains flows trough your mouth. Better enjoyed at room temperature it can also be made into a Ballantini (beer martini) This beer is often mentioned in Hunter S. Thompson's letters witch made me fall for it in the first place. It was also enjoyed by Marilyn Monroe, Joe DiMaggio,R ocky Marciano and Frank Sinatra among many. My expectations where higher but not a bad beer in general.
