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.

12 oz can-pours a medium thickness white head. Color is straw, pale-yellow. Aroma is mild grain. Taste is mild grain, good carbonation. Nice finish. Nice taste. This has been one of my regular beers for years. I didn’t have any on hand a few months ago when I started doing ratebeer entries. This is the first time I have had Schmidt’s in a few months, I still like it! For the price it should get a higher rating, but this is supposed to be only about the beer.

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.

2005 can generously provided by bucknaked, sampled on 4/28/2005. The culmination of one of the best swill tastings of which I have been a part.
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.

Well I couldn’t avoid it forever. Clear pale golden color with tiny bubbles and a thick but short-lived white head. No real lacing to speak of. Aroma of sweetcorn and light hops. Light-bodied and somewhat crisp with a barely-there sweet flavor, and some bland hops. The finish is an off flavor that really prevents this from being a harmless, flavorless beer. The aftertaste is rather unpleasant, like wood varnish or something. Needless to say I won’t be trying this again any time soon.

Wow. I haven’t had a Falstaff in about a decade. From memory, I recall it had a bit more of a hop bite than it does now but it ain’t bad at all.
I had this beer shipped to me from Texas and though some would call me crazy, I think it was worth the effort to relive the past. ;^)
