Originally rated October 2005. There is a blue bull on my can, but it does not say Schlitz Blue Bull, just Schlitz Strong Beer. The ABV is also a slight different, being 6%. Pours a pale golden colour with a white foamy head that dissipates quickly enough. The lacing left is pretty damn good though. Lightly carbonated and mild corn nose and bread. The taste is very smooth and light. No detection of alcohol at all. Mildly on the bitter side, not the sweet side like most malt liquor. Pretty damn good, to get the job done... when you want something smooth.

I’m a mind to always try different malt liquors, gotta try them all, maybe there’s one out there that isn’t a total retch-fest... so, I get this flown up to the arctic on my tri-annual LCBO cargo-liquor shipment (oh god, those air freight bills...) and open its cappy goodness up and pour it into a glass once slightly warmed; well, it has a decent solid foamy head at least. The body is a bright yellow with heavy carbonation. The aroma is sugar and apple cider. The flavour is some caramel harshness followed by sweetness and a cloying finish. This could be a lot worse, but of course, that doesn’t mean it’s good.

Originally rated January 2006. Pours a golden colour with lots of tiny bubble carbonation. The foamy head disappears fast enough, and no lace is left. The stenchy nose resembles to the smell of beer fermenting after pitching the yeast. Pure watery mouthfeel. Also, taste close to water too... which is weird, considering the high alcohol content. Some sweet malt with a hint of sourness and apples. Slight corn comes in the aftertaste. Not really good, but just odd that this one is so light, at 7.1% ABV. Some might call this, "bullshit that is horrorbull".

Whole Foods Market, DC six-pack pounders ($6): Pours yellow with white head. Aroma is nonoffensive, with grains, sugar, and a modicum of hops. The taste is pretty smooth, and has more flavor than your standard pale lager. This is better than normal Schlitz, but I don’t think that it is better by enough.

Pours a crystal clear deep straw bordering on golden color with a good two finger bubbly white head that shows some decent staying power and lace. Yup looks like a macro lager all right. Smells of sweet grainy malt with faint wisps of creamed corn and alcohol. Smells a little better than I thought it would. Taste is kind of what I expected, sweet grainy malts with maybe a hint of cherry or apricot. Really! Bitter alcohol burn into the finish. Lots and lots of bubbles, medium body with a sweet slick mouthfeel. Honestly if they put some hops in here it wouldn’t be half bad. As is this serves its purpose, a cheap quick drunk. I do enjoy purchasing 24 oz of 8.5% beer for $1.69, if only today’s craft brewers could bring us that level of value for our money.

Léger goût de grains de malt pâle accompagné de traces de riz bouilli lors de l’entrée en bouche auquel se rajoute un moyen goût de maïs sucré avec un léger goût de sucre chimique puis en finale l’on retrouve des traces herbeuses (gazon mouillé). Post-goût court, composé d’un léger goût de sucre chimique avec de faibles traces métalliques.

Been looking for this for years. Finally got a bottle from Half Time. Pours pale gold with a 3 finger creamy/foamy white head. Smells bready. Tastes lightly sweet/bready but there actually seems to be a bit of hop present. Definitely better than many pale lagers, especially the Rheingold I just rated. Schlitz even seems to have some spicy hop.

Can. Very pale gold beer. Crisp palate. Mild malt with a subtle tone of corn. A little metallic edge and virtually no hops. Utterly bland and a little offensive.
