12 ounce can into lager glass, best before 9/23/2019. Pours crystal clear pale golden yellow color with a 1 finger fairly dense and fluffy white head with great retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of cracker, corn, white bread dough, lightly toasted biscuit, wood, pepper, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. A bit of fruity corn aromas, but not overwhelming. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance of pale malt/grains and light-moderate earthy hop notes; with solid strength. Taste of cracker, corn, white bread dough, lightly toasted biscuit, wood, pepper, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Light herbal, floral, woody, grassy, peppery bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of cracker, corn, white bread dough, lightly toasted biscuit, wood, pepper, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Very nice robustness and balance of pale malt/grains and light-moderate earthy hop flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance, and no astringent flavors after the finish. Fairly crisp/clean finishing. Very clean on lager flavors, with minimal fruity/yeasty notes. Light-moderate increasing dryness from lingering bitterness and carbonation. Medium-plus carbonation and light body; with a very smooth, moderately bready/grainy, and fairly sticky mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 3.8%. Overall this is a very nice light adjunct lager. All around nice robustness and balance of pale malt/grains and light-moderate earthy hop flavors; very smooth, crisp, clean, and refreshing to drink with the mellowly bitter/drying finish. Very flavorful and not watery for the ABV. Nice clean pils malt/grain showcase, with great earthy hop presence/balance for the style. Not overdone on adjuncts. Minimal residual sweetness with crisp dryness. A very enjoyable offering, and outstanding style example. One of the best macro light lagers I've had as expected of Pabst.

Bready aroma, watery flavor with a metallic aftertaste. Mildly bitter hops. Highly carbonated.

A visit home to the family means drinking Dad Beer. Clear deep yellow with q off-white head. The aroma is like sour grains and cork. Light bodied, dry and overcarbed for me. The taste is sweet, cork and grains. Too gassy... Not so good but nothing inherently fucked up about this macro beyond things you expect in a macro. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

This pours in glass a yellow gold with a small head of foam that shrinks quickly leaving a fine layer.
The smell is a mix of malt and corn.
The taste is semi sweet; there's some malt and grain going on with some hop character that bitters it but the flavours are light on the palate. I haven't tasted this for years and I'm sure I'll not taste it again for many more years to come. Just too damn common and bland.

Pours a clean, light golden colour with a frothy white cap, decent stay and some good patchy thick foam lacing. Smooth corn aromas at first with chemical sharp fake hops eventually coming out. Smooth taste as well, at first, with a club soda feel, light corn in the middle and the cheap hops being better, as not as pungent as the nose. Overall, goes down smoothly with not much too offensive. Canadian version brewed by Stroh Canada.

12 oz can. Very pale yellow pour with a large white head and decent retention. No lacing. Lively carbonation. Light and grainy taste, like a very light lager mixed with seltzer. Crisp mouthfeel. Not bad, not great.
