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.

Clear Light Yellow, Small Foamy Head, Light Lacing. Sweet Corn, Light Bitter, Light Malt Mouth Feel. Light Body, thicker than expected, medium carbonation, makes it an easy drinker on a hot summer day. Pleasantly .surprised, better than expected. Slightly better, actually tastes like a beer, light beer, than most of macro swirls.

16oz can poured into a shaker. Pours a dark gold with minimal head. Aroma of sweet sugar water, rotten apples and a little metal. Taste is light sweet. Sugar water and cotton candy. Full bodied with a slightly sticky texture. Lively carbonation and a long finish. Overall, not bad. A little on the plain side, but still drinkable.

24oz can from stfun for FBW hunger games challenge. Thanks! Pours a clear gold with some fizzy white head. Aroma of some slightly rotton apples, grains, some cotton candy, and a little lakewater. It honestly kinda smells like one of the local apple orchards in the fall...weird. taste is light sweet. Cotton candy and fermenting green apples with a little cereal grain. Medium bodied with a slightly sticky but still quite smooth texture. Lively carbonation and a surprisingly long finish. Overall, not bad. Ive had much worse out of this catagory.

Canette 710ml désignée comme étant brassée par la "Red Bull Beer Company" à La Crosse, WI. De couleur dorée et claire. Nez de grains de malt sucrés, moyen de maïs sucré avec des notes herbeuses et de caramel. Moyenne-mince en bouche avec un pétillement moyen-élevé ainsi qu’une texture aux notes sirupeuses. Goût de grains de malt pâle assez sucrés dès l’entrée en bouche auquel se rajoute un goût de maïs sucré avec des traces de caramel sucré et de miel puis en finale l’on retrouve une très légère amertume de houblon herbeux (gazon mouillé) avec un léger goût d’alcool. Post-goût moyen, composé d’une très légère amertume d’alcool sucré avec des notes de houblon herbeux ainsi qu’un goût de grains sucrés.

Canned, 0.50l. Clear deep golden color with thin white head. Aroma is artificial, floral with notes of alcohol and corn, not really pleasant. Taste starts sweet malty, followed by exotic fruits or flowers. Mouthfeel is syrupy with strong alcoholic note. Light to medium body, sticky texture and soft carbonation in palate. Ahhh, bullpiss...

Another milestone. Schlitz rates me for the big G: This one comes in a cheap Value Village shirt with badly matched shoes and an uneven shave. Straight from the beginning, it’s clear that solidfunk has absolutely no respect for me. Pouring me into a glass he didn’t bother to clean of the despicable taste of some horribly dark dunkler bock. Raising an eyebrow at the lack of head I so thoughtfully provided. Twitching his nose at the preservative chemicals I’m so lovingly laced with. Gagging at the first sip of sour malt-liquor like deliciousness that I painted the walls of his throat with. It’s just for that reason that I intend to leave my special aroma floating through his digestive system and polluting the drain of his sink after he pours me out in disgust.

40oz bottle pours clear deep gold with decent enough lasting almost bright white head of foam. The aroma has a firm sweetness then it seems to be pulling up corn flakes and creamed corn as well as a mild boozy note. The taste is similar with plenty of sweetness running into a mix of corn, booze and a mild vague bitter hoppiness. Into the finish something coats the mouth as chemical booze reminds you another sip may be un-wise.

Schlitz Red Bull X.L (Extra Long, ?what?) Malt Liquor 5.9%
40 pours watery clear gold with loose off white head. The aroma is what’s expected as corn flakes mixed with caro syrup covered apples and chemical booze bubble up out of the paper bag covered glass. Hmm. The taste is watery thin and has a watery neutral taste now and then too. The flavor follows the nose notes with corn, estery fruitiness, sweetness and chemical booze. All of these notes are thin and luckily that makes them rather timid too. If you must drink this it really does help if it is near freezing cold.

24 oz can from Ashland or Medford. Pours gold with a foamy white head. Smells corny. Not much hop aroma. Maybe a little wet paper. Med body; frothy carb. Flavor is bad in terms of malt - very little, not so bad in terms of fusil oils - also very little. But the heat is obnoxious (nothing to cover it up), and the flavor is pretty distressing.
