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. Pours a clear gold color with a large white head and very good retention. Very good lacing. Hops nose. Clean mouthfeel. Light caramel malt start with a light hop bitterness finish. Very clean. Medium body. It's fun reading the reviews of the haters trying to hate this. Put this beer in a craft can and they would love it. Haha.

Not too bad! Bright golden, full foamy head. Nose light on cascade hops, mild citrus. Flavor a nice balanced pale ale, a bready malt, hints at toffee. Semi-dry finish, thins a little right at the last. Light citrus hop flavors, very light bitterness at finish.

Single 16 oz can at Binny's. Did not have much hope for it when I first opened and poured. Smell was kind of the same skunkiness I get with any macro lager, to be frank. But it poured an ever so slightly darker amber color than a lawnmower beer. The first sip, snuck out from under a frothy head, just seems to be more of the same lawnmower beer. A very light malt note. But the hops, while lightly bittered, do start to show themselves. This is no major hop wallop like an SNPA, but I have to admit it is lightly hoppy. Call it an introduction to hops. Still not enough to impress, just enough to top the light malts.

16 ounce can. Pours a clear orange hue with a small white head. A light grainy biscuit nose. Sweet, light citrus, toast. Very clean. This is pretty good honestly.

Uk bottled version bought at Tesco. Pale gold in colour, with a slight and short-lived white head. Light aroma of hay with some sharpness. Very easy drinking, with a mild maltiness and a hint of lemon, before a fairly soft. A completely inoffensive, characterless beer that proved easy to drink when chilled.

Light yellow color with foamy white head. Highly carbonated. Just slightly sweet with a crisp finish. The beer is the best economy brand and tastes much better than more expensive brands.

16 ounce can. Bright brassy gold color. Large pillowy white head. Zillions of large bubbles. Light grainy malt nose. This beer is amazing! Wel, not really. But it's not that bad compared to most Pabst offerings. Tangy malt flavor upfront is crisp and a lightly citrus character from the Cascade and Liberty hops adds balance. Light body and flavor. Easy drinking and a summer keeper.

On Tap at Homestead, Meridian. Clear golden yellow witha lasting soapy white ehad and lacing. Looks like a PBR Standard light cereal malts witha hint of some actual hops. A step in the right direction.
