I wish I could give negative numbers for aroma, because surely this beer would deserve it. It smells horrible. It is the cheapest malt liquor in the store around where I live. It tastes bad and requires effort to actually drink. After my friends purchased it once I told them to never buy this rubbish again. But hey, it get you drunk and that is good I suppose, but so do things that taste better than this.

Can: Poured a very light yellow color beer with a medium white bubbly head with average retention. Aroma of corn and adjunct is not surprisingly dominating. Taste is as bland as it can be done with no aftertaste at all (which is probably the purpose but does not provide me with any satisfaction.

My aunt had a can in her fridge, so I had to rate it. i have been giving her Hefes and wheats she likes. Nose has a corn note, pale gold with a small white head, a lillte malt in the flavor.

Clear yellow body with a large frothy white head. Aroma of sweet grain. Sweet grain flavor, light hints of honey. Hard to hate this when you live in Richmond.

[Canned] Pale golden, small dense head. Fruity aroma with notes of vodka and clue. Sweet with mellow mouthfeel. Fairly clean flavour profile. There’s adjuncts in there, but not massive amounts of boiled vegetables, making it fairly drinkable, but oh so dull. No bitterness, and too sweet for it’s own good.

Draft: Better than a lot of the macro alternatives. Mild amount of flavor, malts, wheat, not much else. For whatever reason, it’s always cheaper than bud or coors... At least is has some taste, albeit not much.

40oz bottle from some store in the middle of nowhere Michigan, consumed out of a paper bag in the backseat of a car on 6/2/06. Deeply golden, with strong amber tints, really speaking to the heavy amount of corn syrup in it. Though I did not decant it, the head foamed up quite nicely in the bottle, very white and fluffy, with fair retention (no lacing). Ahem....The nose is a stale barley aroma, much like budweiser, without any note of hops. Highly cerealic graininess, though mushy and doused in corn syrup. Some very light crisp lager yeast notes are slighly redeeming. DMS is heavy from the outset though, with light rancid cabbage and huge amounts of black/white pepper. Sweetness, however, does not overwhelm, dosent have that typical medicinal/cough syrupiness. The flavor, at first, seems passable for a malt liquor, with a decent amount of real malt flavor, certainly bolstered by some biproducts of corn syrup fermentation, which, while not exactly pleasant, are acceptable for the style (plastic, light powderiness and vanilla). Everything goes right out the window, however, when you arrive at the finish, which is just a mouthfull of boiled yams, cabbage and stale, rancid corn. Huge DMS, alcohol and plastic, with a light stinging sensation makes you sorry that you ever took a sip. Just hugely chemical in nature and truly disgusting. Mouthfeel is highly carbonated, though less syrupy than many. Still, plenty of sugars make it through.

It’s not that good any way you look at it. Cheap drink, but you get what you pay for it.

Draft, at Tom’s Place, Lemont, IL. I have no history with Blatz in my underage drinking or impoverished student days, so this review comes with no baggage, except my surprise at finding it not only on tap, but finding a bar with an old Blatz sign out front. In a pint shaker ($2.25), it shows that familiar pale straw color under a thin macro head. But there’s a noticeable lager malt taste here. Some corn adjunct, but I didn’t find it distracting. And just enough bitterness for an uncomplicated finish. Probably never a great beer, probably not the same recipe for generations, but I wonder if, when it’s being contract-brewed, Miller doesn’t mess around trying to "modernize" it.

Gold with a gold tinge toit’s white head.Malty aroma with a malt flavor. You can taste a tiny bit of hop bitterness in the aftertaste.
