COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Blatz beer is everything Val Blatz himself was - bold, determined, innovative, and new to the country. Blatz still retains its heritage of fine American beer made with German craftsmanship. Brewed with the finest six row barley our country can grow, Blatz marries old world Gumeiklekeit with new world creativity. Next time the barkeep asks what brand you want, ask for Milwaukee’s Finest Beer - Blatz!

can from The Green Frog in Ft Wayne - I was amused to see this beer on the menu and told the waitress as much. It’s like finding Schlitz at a dive bar. Anyway, it’s clear pale yellow, has a mild aroma of grainy malt, and tastes of corn and not much else. Yep, it’s go some sweet corn laden malt that’s pretty mild as everything about this beer is. It’s light bodied, thin, adjunct laden... yeah, don’t bother.

Ever heard of Schlitz? Blatz is the cheap alternative to an already cheap alternative/economy priced beer. What’s left to do when money’s tight? "GET BLATZ-TED!" Milwaukee represent. Not as bad as some of the cheapo bears I’ve tried, but certainly not the best.

Just another has been beer. It once was a decent brew. Now just another generic macro brew. With no character or taste.

nuplastikk (2445) - Madison, Wisconsin, USA - OCT 3, 2009
UPDATED: OCT 10, 2009 Draft at the OF. Hyper-filtered yellow-orange color. Patchy non-head with lots of CO2 bubbles underneath. Grainy and rough body. Finishes sugar water thin. Unoffensive at best, insipidly disgusting at worst. Slightly dry 6-row aftertaste.

Suprisingly I’ve never rated it, and just had it on tap again at the Crystal: Poured clear golden. Malty as hell with a huge white head. GRainy in every bit, not classy but grassy all the way through.

Gold with thin, fizzy white head / Light nose of grain, grass, and honey / LIght body, thin and watery, with minimal finish / Metallic flavor of old pipe water with hint of grain / Worst beer I’’ve ever had?

Courtesy of JMerritt. Color is one that you normally would not want to drink. Vibrant yellow, very clear with moderate carbonation and a thin white head. Aroma hits your nose as soon as the can is popped open, mild grainy and corn note with a grassy nops note. Flavor starts of with a slightly skunky note, sweet corn and malt. Density is low but flavors are crisp. Not the worst beer but definitely not my fav...and I normally don’t mind the "old man" beer. Guess they named this brew after the sound you make when you take a drink, "Blatz".
