I’ve known Pabst since before it was a Miller. If you haven’t rated Pabst, you must not be american, for pabst is probably more american than bud. Blue ribbon, do those 12 oz bottles still have a blue ribbon on the neck? Before I was old enough to drink beer, pabst was there. This is a 40 ounce twist of cap, almost a double bomb. It has your typical yeasty good beer aroma, that of a decent wheat beer. Pours very light yellow into a poor steeler stein. There are much bubbles arising from the side and bottom of the container. Good carbonation, even though this is the bottom of the bomb. A very good repeating beer, as I recall. But I am not rating this from faulty memory; I drink it as I write! So this is neither a padder nor a memory rate. Yes, I have drank this many times before. I wanted to get a few good beers under my belt before I attempted to rate an old familiar! Initial flavor is clean and crisp, even after so many years. It is non-offending and gentlemanlike, like a beer should be. The finish is not bitter in any way, what I expect out of a beer. Very good. Perhaps there is a growing aftertaste once the last drop is gone. It may be the aftertaste of knowing there is none left to consume. Says it was established in 1894, but that is not how long I’ve been drinken it!
