Description
The Joseph Schlitz Brewing Company was an American brewery based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and once the largest producer of beer in the United States. Its namesake beer, Schlitz ( /ˈʃlɪts/), was known as "The beer that made Milwaukee famous" and was advertised with the slogan "When you're out of Schlitz, you're out of beer". Schlitz first became the largest beer producer in the US in 1902 and enjoyed that status at several points during the first half of the 20th century, exchanging the title with Anheuser-Busch multiple times during the 1950s.
The company was founded by August Krug in 1849, but ownership passed to Joseph Schlitz in 1858 when he married Krug's widow. Schlitz was bought by Stroh Brewery Company in 1982 and subsequently sold along with the rest of Stroh's assets to Pabst Brewing Company in 1999. Pabst produced several varieties of Schlitz beers alongside Old Milwaukee.
Admin Note: Old Milwaukee was originally a Schlitz brand but Pabst has broken it off into its own separate brand.

24 fl. oz. can. Golden in the glass, white head. Smells like alcoholic cake with allmonds. Starts alcoholic, allmonds, little bit winery, but not complex and not longlasting. Tonight Germany beats Brasil historical 7:1 at the soccer world cup and I have the third bad beer in a row in my hotel room. Strange!

Had a taste of this at the bar last night - someone was joking about craft beer connoisseur-ship. As I said then, papery taste of garbage with some piss. Yum.

Can, 24oz. A big, creamy, white head forms over a clear, golden body. The aroma is lightly alcoholic, with sweet maltyness and a fruity touch. It’s full-bodied and lightly warming on the palate, quite smooth, and almost sickingly sweet. Way too warming towards the end. Yet another uninteresting malt liquor, I can’t imagine why people drink this. 130818

Massive 24oz beast at the thunderbird malt likka tasting. It pours clear golden with a medium white head. The nose is grass, sulphur, chlorine, turps, tinned fruit and lighter fluid. The taste is grainy, sweet pale malt, corn, burnt butter, white sugar, tinned peach and metal with a sweet finish. Mediumish body and high carbonation. Nasty nose, partially better taste. Best so far.

24 ounce can. Pours a clear medium golden color with a large white head. Decent head retention. Aroma of strong corn, grain, mild cider apples. The taste is even stronger corn, sugar and not much else. Medium bodied. They’re right, it drinks pretty smooth.

24 ounces of liquid goodness. Drank from the can, so I have no idea what it looks like. Let’s assume a golden color:) A grainy sweet adjunct nose. Initially this is pretty fruity with berries and some sugar, later more earthy malts and dirty water. Not too warm but a bit of heat. Does the job fine.
