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.

Thanks to decaturstevo for this gem! Very pale clear yellow body with a medium sized white head. No aroma, no flavor, watery.

Pretty blue 12 oz can. Cheap pale lager aroma but not offensive in any way. Ubiquitous pale yeloow lager appearance and there is no sign of sparkling within. Piss and tea froth head. On the first taste, this stuff seems to hide the alky content better than most other ’cheap ice’ beers. At times this stuff even seems to have a malty chocolate appeal to the taste, weird for an ice beer. Decent carbonation tho there is no sign of it in the mug. One of the better cheap ice beers I’ve had the pleasure of tasting. Taste is as mild as many non ice lager beers. Finish is decently acceptable with a tad of cheap lager alky hanging around for a while.

Brings out my inner hillbilly! Actually got a keg of Pabst in college and removed the stickers...all night people kept asking what it was and how it was really good. Most were shocked when we said it was pabst and not keystone or bud light. I give this beer a big yeehaw

$6.99 for 12. Pale yellow with big bubbles. But props for the cool red/brown can with the pheasant on it. Smells like arse...really garbagey with glue and high alcohols...not lagered very long. Taste is about the same. Body is thin...mostly tastes of alcohol and corn and glue. Finishes poorly.

Wretch. America’s best in 1893, and downhill ever since. At least it’s better than Bud. No need to waste a glass on this one.

Nice looking blue can. Ubiquitous pale yellow american lager color and appearnce. Decent fading head. Mild sour or tart corn aroma. Nearly average tingly carbonation. it says ’no expense or time has been spared’ in brewing this stuff. Some crude alky flavors. Like many cheaper american ’ice’ beers. Difficult to enjoy, will not buy again. Pretty cheap though, $8 for a case of 24.

Qt. bottle. Light aroma of pale malt and alcohol. Brassy gold color with a decent white head that laced slightly. Thin body; moderate carbonation. The flavor is sweet malt, zero bitter. It is not sickenly alcoholic, not stirring nausea. May be one of the less obnoxious malt liquors. Hard for me to drink decades ago; no point for me to drink today. D.P. Not cause it’s all that bad, it’s just not worth the brain cell loss and calory gain.

Aroma of grassy hop and corn adjunct. Brassy gold color with a white head that rapidly filmed. Thin bodied. The sweetness is not so corny as anticipated. The bitter is essentially non-existent. It does have a clean taste. If that’s not a tad oxymoronic to refer to taste with a mainstream lager. Works to wash down a burrito on a hot day. It’s not really objectionable, it’s just got no flavor going for it.

This stuff came from a thirty five cent 12 oz can. Pop the lid and there you have a cheap apple wine and canned corn aroma. Smells like a few pilsners I’ve had. Clear yellow virtually no head, quickly diminishes, except a tea froth. Lacing is very nice and active, but it disappears quickly. A light to medium body, good creamy carbonation. Has a moderate pale lager appeal, ever so slightly sweet or even mildly less than sweet, but not even a hint of bitterness. Possess the attributes of a friendly pale lager; industrial and processed , with little personality. Interesting slight alcohol metallic bitterness gathers at the end of each sip. Has an average length finish, where a slight sour watery metallic aftertaste seems to manifest. Overall, an acceptable pale lager, especially for the price.
