Bottle, labelled as PBR. Yellow liquid with small white head. Aroma of acetone, corn, sulphur, medicinal alcohol and band-aid. Horrid. Taste is dry and very light bitter with notes of acetone and corn. Light bodied with high carbonation and watery mouthfeel. This is just wrong.

Bottled (the Swedish sold version of PBR, which actually contains Old Milwaukee, from Systembolaget Mölndal, thanks to mom & dad). Golden colour mediumsized white head. Aroma is bready malts, mild maizelike sweetness as well as some mild grainy notes. Flavour is grainy, herbal, grassy, some mild bitterness as well. Rather carbonated.

Bottle as Pabst Blue Ribbon from Systembolaget which is supposed to be Old Milwaukee according to forum posts. Pours like pale white wine, but with a shortlasting white head. Sweet taste of corn and a hint of apples.

Fratto party favor. Pours with a clear, pale, yellow hued body with a fading white head. Aromas of corn, mild DMS, seltzer water. Dry. Not very characterful. Flavors are watery and dry, mild grainy. Lively bubbles, watery dry. Pretty inoffensive light beer.

Originally rated May 2005. Yeah... starting my swillfest. This popular one pours a light golden colour with a light carbonation. Malt aromas with slight urine... sweet urine (or malt). Ok... sweet malt is in the taste. Light though. Starting a headache... which comes from mass-produced beer, usually. Not a bad swill brew, judging from the taste, but in other departments, not too good.

This brew is a clear pale yellow color with a thin and fluffy white head that burns away quickly. Short strings of lacing. Grainy malt aroma and a bit of metallic hops in the nose. Light body with a sweet malty character and a touch of bitterness in the background. The finish is grainy and sweet. It is what it is.

Originally rated March 2006. Good creamy white head comes out of the can, with a golden colour. Retention is actually quite good and lacing left as well. Carbonation on the other hand is not happening. Very, very flat. The nose started off nicely with some sweet malt, but ended with a strong alcohol scent. The taste is pretty smooth, with some real sweetness and light bitterness. Not a really bad malt liquor, but still not great... and no where near Mongoose.

12oz bottle poured into a snifter. Big foamy white head that quickly fades away. Sweet, sugary, with a classic macro aroma. Light bodied and relatively inoffensive, aside from the sweet, adjunct ridden base. Standard macro, light doughiness.
