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.

Can. Beer poured a clear yellow with a darkish tint and a small thin white head. Aroma is full of malts with a sweet undertone of sugar and molasses. Flavor is thickly sweet, kind of coats your mouth.

Can from ericandersnavy. A damn pretty can too. Pours gold with a four finger bubbly white head. Aromas of citrus and grain. Light bodied with sort of frothy carbonation. Flavor is grainy and lightly bitter. S’ok. What does one want it a light anyway? Like it’s really late, Galaxy Quest is in my ear, and the 16 year old princess kitty* is scratching my leg. And I’ve had a lot of beer. This is a good way to wind down! *aka: The Walking Davy Crocket hat!

12 oz. can. Wow, 6 years on RB and I’m only now rating this wonder. Sampled in a plastic cup, because that’s how most of America drinks this. Pours pale yet somewhat beer colored, with a decently fizzy head. Rather corny nose. Arrogantb was right about the mineral taste, though maybe it’s from the particularly brewery this was made in. Starts with a little malt sweetness, but the corn starts in quickly and will not let go. Still, there’s a bit of body you don’t find in a Coors, but still not a lot of character. At least it’s a little filling.

Can courtesy of my roomates. Picture sent in to be uploaded. Only 68 calories according to the can. Pours a clear pale yellow with a fizzy and quick to recede white head. Aroma of corn and bready sweetness with tons of CO2. Adjunct city. So much cardboard, rice and CO2 flavor has never made it into one beer before. Dry, papery and with a rice soup sort of feel. Makes Perrier feel flat. Dangerous amounts of carbonation. Carbonated water aged in cardboard on rice husks. Bad.

Yes, I went to college and yes I saw this stuff. However, I can honestly say that I never had it throughout the whole of college and into my twenties. Then, I saw it at an unusual location and thought - if I should ever have it - here’s the place. On to the review... Light golden coloured body with a white head - nothing fancy, nothing atrocious. Aroma of metal, strong cardboard and skunky malt and fake sugars - pretty bad. Light-bodied; Strong alcoholic flavour - no hiding it. Aftertaste shows metal, fake sugars, cardboard and skunky malt - very bad. Overall, a gross beer, and I’m happy I never had this in college, but the scenery when i was drinking this made it worth it! I sampled this 33 cL can purchased at 7-11 in Hong Kong, SAR China , sampled aboard the Star Ferry heading back to Kowloon on 19-August-2007.

Had it many times over the years, my original go-to, and the beer of my youth.

Overall Impression: Clearly rating to high, I know this, you know this, lets move on...
This was the beer of my youth. I've had it more times then I can count. I've gotta say for the price its hard to beat. No it's not "good", but it holds a special place for me.
