355ml. Pours golden with no head and gentle bubbles. The nose has pale malt and the slightest hint of citrus. The taste has more pale malt and a little more citrus this time. The palate is decent - light to medium in structure, light in texture and nicely refreshing on the end. Overall, it looks awful but gets better from there.

Enjoyed on tap at Frank’s Power Plant in Milwaukee, WI, where my band played a show. For my 5th beer of the night, this one was perfect as it was pretty light. One of those \"I’m about to have too many so I’ll get this instead\" beers. Appearance fizzy yellow beer with white head. Aroma not really much there, generic lager smell. Taste is actually smooth for a mass produced lager, not much other than hay/straw. Not bad though....had this again at the Beat Kitchen in Chicago, IL while watching 7000 Dying Rats (the band). This tasted like a mixture between stale and moldy bread, and water. Man was it bad. I guess on tap is the way to go!

(tap) clear pale yellow with small white head; sweetish cereal aroma, simple flavour, refreshing when cold, unattractive but not downright repulsive as it warms up, not bad as what it is, if you think that this is terrible beer than you have not had truly bad beer yet :-)

First off: PBR is called Pabst Blue Ribbon because, at the turn of the 20th Century, the bottles were decorated with actual blue ribbons tied around the necks. Not because it won a prize at a World’s Fair. You know, if you care. Second: PBR is a terrible, awful, aluminum-tasting crap macrolager that has no real value in the beer world other than to give hipsters something cheap to drink. (12/2/08)

Well, I guess Pabst thought their regular brew wasn’t "dry" enough, whatever that means! So, I guess this one’s all about mouthfeel - it pours with a yellow body, decent head. Absolutely no aroma. Flavour is, well, rice adjuncts I guess, with a bit of a lemon-grain aftertaste. And the mouthfeel isn’t dry at all! You fail, Pabst! I want my dry finish, not some wet rice crap!

Immortalized by Clint Eastwood, drank by frat boys worldwide, puked out by drunks all over the USA - how could I have forgotten Pabst all these years? After all, it was selected as America’s best beer in 1893! Nothing has changed since 1893, has it? I mean, America hasn’t developed any more brewers, or become a superpower or anything, or become vastly connected to the outside world to learn about better brewing techniques, has it? Of course not! So I open this can on my front lawn in Detroit, whiling away an afternoon polishing my shotgun and complaining about immigrants. It’s a very yellow beer but has a reasonably solid head, which makes it not entirely disgusting. No aroma to speak of. Taste is rice and tin with a cardboard finish. It’s beers like these that make people hate beer. And yet, with a certain slant of light and when drinking in a certain kind of bar, it might be all right.

Draft. A light golden beer with a thin white head. The aroma has notes of corn as well as lighter notes of malt. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt and corn, leading to a dry finish where a straw note appears. It is lightly bitter. All in all it’s boring.

Bottle. Pours a clear gold with a small frothy white head that diminishes quickly to nothing. The aroma is a corn malt and wheat grass and skunk. Thin mouthfeel with a bitter corn malt with a metallic finish. You hipsters can have this.

I had 3 of these tonight while watching the band Fuc*ed Up play in Chicago. I had it, so I thought might as well review it. PBR is not a bad beer, it’s just not a good beer. It’s not a beer that’s measured in how it tastes, it’s measured in how many you’ve had. Of the big brewery lagers, this is pretty standard and not bad, definitely better than Bud or Bud Select.

16 oz can - Pours clear, light yellow with a one finger white head. It smells of grainy malt. It tastes of sweet, adjunct laden malt. It’s fizzy, light bodied, and kind of watery. Like so many pale lagers, and some are worse than this one, this beer is pretty much made to throw past your tongue in large quantities and not worry about the taste too much. I have no idea why it has hipster cred.
