Description
In 1996 Pabst, once one of the largest breweries in the United States closed down its production in Milwaukee after 152 years. Since then Pabst’s legacy brands like Pabst Blue Ribbon (PBR), Old Milwaukee, Lone Star, Rainier, Stroh’s, Old Style and Schlitz are brewed under contract by third parties. For nearly two decades, MillerCoors brews and distributes all of Pabst's beers under an agreement. In 2019, it has entered with City Brewing Company into a 20-year contract production agreement until 2040. Pabst will gradually transfer from 2021 until 2024 its production from MillerCoors to City Brewing.

16 oz can from Winco. I was anxious to try this after seeing it on the store shelves, because I like their old Tankard release so much. What I got was just a very generic Pale Ale that was only slightly better than their lager a little bit thicker not too many hops to be seen very grainy but smooth. It's didn't wow me like the old Tankard did but overall it was drinkable and a little bit had a little bit more heft than PBR.

Thnx to Trevor. Smell is rather sweet, creamy malty. Taste is mildly bitter, malty, aromatic. No real hoppy notes. Macro lager, but not the worst there is.

Draft @ Buffalo Brewfest. Clear golden. Light citric, grainy, malty, some bitterness. Not much going on. Not offensive either.

$1.79 pint can from Greenwood Grocery. Pours clear golden with a large off-white head. Aroma is stale resiny hops with minor citrus and sweet tea. Flavor is more of those stale hops, light dough, light sugar water, light citrus. Finishes slightly sweet. Not bad, but I wouldn't call it "good" either.

Der König unter den Pennerbieren, endlich auch in meiner Kehle und ich muss sagen, da gibt’s deutlich Schlimmeres. Es hat halt wenig Geschmack, sehr wässrig, Getreide, Malz, aber man kann es ob seiner Leichtigkeit kippen als wär es Wasser. Prima Durstlöscher.

Cans drunk 3/11/18.
Light amber, clear, with a rapidly-dwindling, white head.
Cereal-like grains, lots of bread, sweet, borderline saccharine-like sugars and marmalade and black pepper-like hop notes all give a rather crude impression, with light resin, even.
Mushy-sweet, underfermented malts add saccharine, table sugar, vanilla and corn-like cereal. Punchy, vaguely citric hops mostly add a peppery, orange-tinted spice and too much bitterness/resin. Lingering table sugar and pine flavors quickly bore and fatigue. Heavy, brisk, forced carbonation annoys the palate, as well. After it becomes less-than-very-cold, it's a chore to drink.

Can from Total wine in Sacramento, CA. Pours clear, bright gold with a foamy white head. Aroma is floral/lightly spicy. Med body or nearly. Flavor is spicy/floral with some slightly roasty malt. Not entirely dry, but very nicely bitter. I'm surprised.
