Description
In 1850, an entrepreneur named Bernhard Stroh, who came to Detroit from Germany, started brewing beer from his old family recipe.
His new take on that old Bohemian-style Pilsner was a light and refreshing lager brewed in copper kettles down in his basement. He called that beer Stroh’s.
So this crafty 28-year-old upstart would cart his beer around in a wheelbarrow, selling
it door-to-door, bringing it to all the hard working people building up a great city.
That’s how Stroh’s started. Good work for good workers.
169 years later, here we are. Still in Detroit. Hard at work, doing that thing that Bernhard passed down to us. We brew beer.
And we’re proud of that — making something of real substance for the creators, makers, doers and dreamers who shape this city. This country. Helping to build something that’s bigger than just a beer, but always offering a cold one at the end of each day.

I am very surprised i have not rated this beer yet, it is an old time favorite from the days of my youth. my dad used to buy it allot when I was about 18-21 and we used to get it for free because of that. Has a good clean beer aroma, with a little of that corny smell in there but it is not offensive at all. This is from a 16 oz can that cost me 60 cents. Decent clean lager flavor with very little perceivable negative attributes. Not bad for a session beer, goes down easy on a hot summer day. No bitterness per se. Good friendly fun and easy to slug, not bad for a cheap beer. I think it still has some of that old stroh character that I remember way back then when it was a separate brewery. Finish is acceptable and gentleman~like. not bad, glad I finally bought a case, it’s been a long time! I guess strohs light is next, heheheh.

Thinner than regular Strohs. I knew someone who swore by this beer. No thanks. Certainly not the worst macro-ish mass produced beer out there, but it still comes up way short.

Not so bad. No offensive character. Some corn. Fairly light and refreshing, and it is more pleasant than Miller lite or Budweiser.

Draught. Pale yellow pour with fast dissipating head. Aroma of citrus and maize. I wish I could rate the flavour lower, there was an indescribable unpleasant ’something’ in the flavour that put me off. Ordinary fast dissipating finish with a tiny bit of hoppiness.

Strohs. A extremely weak beverage to say the least. You pay for quality here, and not suprisingly there just isn’t any quality at all. Can adds interesting metallic taste (to say the least).

A beer that is not as bad as the other ones. In fact, it is ok. Drinkable at least. Unfortunately, it is far too expensive to ever buy again (at least where I am from). Yeah, so it is actually a beer and for that I give it a high five to the face.

Sampled from a 12 oz can this beer poured the palest yellow color I have ever seen, with a huge soapy white head. The aroma is sour macro pale lager tang. There is a bit of corny sweetness on the nose. The flavor is dry and corny with a hint of pepper and a tangy finish. Bland and inoffensive.

Canned. I haven’t seen this for a while in Chicago, so when a saw a six for $4 in Lafayette, IN, I thought I should grab it in case it’s about to go the way of Falstaff. I notice, though, the can says nothing about it being "fire brewed," and the pour looks it. A thin gold color only slightly less pisslike than a Miller. Can’t pick up much of a smell, not even the usual generic "beer" smell that some macros still put up. Thin head dissolves right away. My first impression was that there was just a touch of bitter to it right up front. Not a bad start, but there’s very little to back it up. Still more corn than malt to it. Overly fizzied, goes down like a 7up. A decent cheap lawnmower beer, at least.

Served in a can at the tin can tavern in St. Louis. No real aroma and i drank it right out of the can. Flavor is grain and very watery. Nothing really redeaming but it did hit the spot on a very warm June evening. When you can get a beer for $1.50 at a bar you should not expect much.
