Thanks to Darkover for bringing Old Style into my life. I'm not really sure what this beer is trying to achieve, as it tastes like macro tripe. Why try to carve out your own niche by tasting just like any of the myriad offerings from Bud/Miller/Coors? Anyway the beer is a clear fizzy gold with a thin white head. Aroma of barely-there hops. Light bodied and crisp with a watery hops flavor. The finish is thankfully not nasty. Avoid.

Canned. I got a sixer to compare it to LaCrosse Lager, which is now being microbrewed in the original Old Style brewery. Even without a comparison, I could tell this was the loser. Corny taste among other adjuncts at work. Although there is... wait a minute... a hint of hops and yeasty lager taste poking through at the end. So not totally beyond redemption. Better than crappy Budweiser. Guess that’s why Wrigley Field switched to Bud: bad team, bad beer. Slight re-rate, Nov. 03: I moved it up a notch after having another, and finding it still does what it does best: get you happy in a hurry.

Canadian version. The only interesting thing about this beer is seeing how many rabbits one can find on the can
