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.

Can. Cases are usually pretty cool with some sort of outdoor scene plus it’s the beer they drank on "Grumpy Old Men". Malt aroma and flavor. High carbonation. Just as good as BMC at 60% of the cost.

Another small brewery beer swallowed by Miller. Still drinkable but doesn’t seem to be as good as prior to the take-over. It may just be my prejudice but it’s not the beer it used to be and the one Robert Earl Keen sings about.

pours a medium white head that retains a thin layer. Mild flavor but finishes with a bite.

A light yellow beer with a disappearing white head. The aroma is sour hoppy - I guess corn has been used. The flavor is slightly malty, but on a sour background from the use of corn, and finally the body is thin. This one was for the number.

Just thinking about this beer gives me goosebumps. It’s like the feeling you get when you’ve been fived, only this one gives that wonderful feeling of being point-fived. One whiff of the aroma and you know you are in strange territory.
A very sniffable beer, for sure. I sat for a good couple of minutes just marvelling at the sheer force of evil emanating from this sample. It took me a while to nail it down but here is my best approximation.
Smells like a brand new 1970’s Buick, pure vinyl interior, with the window’s closed on a hot day when suddenly, someone jumps in the car with a ton of rotten, spoiled rhubarb and smears it everywhere. The vinyl/rhubarb aroma in this beer is priceless. The flavor is something else too. Chemicals and veggies, powdered sugar, though not even that appealing. Sharp, biting, metallic. Every bad quality a beer can have is possibly present here. Overcarbonated, no semblance to beer anywhere, really. Extra light body, pale yellow, no head. Kind of like when you have a 5.0 and it suddenly makes some other beers you previously had ranked highly, seem not quite as amazing. This one makes some .5s that I have given, seem not quite so bad. . .

(Bottle 35,5 cl) High in carbonation, light in colour and very white in head. Classic American Lager-brand, classic American Lager-taste - of nothing. Light in body, a bit of sweetness and pretty much no hops. A truly sad experience.
