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.

Paid $1.39 at a local gas station. I feel like a shit head for rating this but I wanted to rate this next to another pale lager. "Grain Belt". Color is crystal clear color with weak carbonation. Almost no head. Aroma is corn and sweet malt.

Flavor is about as bland and flavorless as it gets. Nothing offensive here just no flavor. Light sweet bread notes. If it warms up you can get faint lager yeast and grassy dead hops. I guess PBR is reserved for hipsters that don’t care about anything in life or broke college kids. Drinkable but why bother??? Also, Grain Belt wins this battle of pale lagers, in case anybody actually reads this review.

Bottle 330ml (K-Kamppi)
Pale yellow color, small white head. Aroma of corn and metal. Light-bodied. Light sweetish sweetcorn-like flavor. Low bitterness, very crisp carbonation. Very watery and harmless. Kind of Corona-version.

Good looking 0,355 l bottle. Clear golden in the glass, high carbonation, very small head. Sourish hay, maybe sweet silage on the nose. Starts watery, sharpness on the lips, low grainy, light citrus, cardboard. Sorry, no real taste.

A light yellow beer with a weak and white head, also some lace. The nose of light grain, some grass, low malty sweetness. Taste is malty, slightly sweet, hint of lemon, basicly no bitterness. Light, carbonation is smooth enough. This beer was that I was expected, not totally tasteless, nothing bothering, no bitterness.

355ml bottle. Straw color, fluffy, quickly disappearing head. Hard to find any aroma here, mild apple juicy and sweetness. apple juice also in the flavor, along with some corn, not much else. Super watery. Tickly mouthfeel. Wtf. "Prized flavors", yeah right. Why is this imported?

473ml (!) can from Beers of Europe. Pours clear golden yellow. No head. Aromas of sugar, corn, sweat and metal. There’s lemon pledge too. Taste is white sugar or corn syrup - I can’t decide between the two shitty sweet flavours! This is not good beer and everyone knows it. Irony can go too far.

17.04.2014, 0,35l bottle @ hotel room in Stockholm:
Small fizzy mediumlasting head. Aroma is slightly sweet, cereal, hay, corn, caramel, paper, grass, popcorn. Taste is very neutral, paper, hay, cereal, grain, metal tank. Little bitterness, slightly dry mouthfeel. What a waste of beer!
