"Splatz." If you need to know that this is not a good beer, here it is in clear langauge: This is not a good beer. Really nothing redeeming and it seems to cause diarrhea.

Blatz, Aptly named for the sound you hear from your rear upon consumption. surprisingly not bad for a cheap 15pk, would never drink if it wasnt free. but in this case it twas.

semi-skunk aroma, very pale, flavor was medium bitter with a strong bitter finish. Very fizzy, head was more like a coca-cola head than a beer head. Did not enjoy much and will definitely never buy again.

Blatz are we serious? Why do we do this to ourselves. Use it on the grill to put out a fire (try not to get to much on your food).

UPDATED: JUL 6, 2007 Canned. Clear pale yellow, brief head. Aroma? What aroma? Perhaps a whiff of vegetable soup? Sweet and soapy, light bodied with rounded mouthfeel but very, very empty. Perhaps some corn and rice flavuor, and definitely lots of water. Absolutely no bitterness. I believe I should be able to separate this from sparkling water in a blind test.

Blatz Blatz, my old friend Blatz. Quite a name, isn’t it? I remember when throwaway bottles came out and this stuff was really popular, now I’m showing my age. I had to buy a few of these to rate just for old time sakes so I rate as I drink, this is not by memory. Has a nearly sweet cornlike aroma typical of many pale yellow american lagers and the appearance of course is that of the ubiquitous pale yellow american lager. Taste is more impressive than the Blatz light and the flavor is how I always remembered it. Has that unique attribute of Blatz, I see the sale of this recipe has not changed the flavor much. Friendly, cheap and easy to get along with. Not a bad pale yellow lager by any means. Much better than many lagers I’ve tasted especially better than King lager and any of the City lager types. Even better than Henninger Premium Lager! The finish of this suffers from just a bit of industrial bitterness that makes it a little less enjoyable than beers of similar style like schmidt’s or carlsburg. However, overall, not bad.

Canned (thanks heemer77). Pale yellow colour, big foamy white head. Aroma is very much vegetables and sweetness. Flavour is very sugary sweet along with maize.

I had heard stories of this beer while I was growing up in the northern woods of Michigan. In my later years I was unable to find this beer available, until I showed up in a bar in Hougton Lake, Michigan and Blatz was on tap. Well I just had to try it, the price was only $3 for a pitcher, boy was it not worth it. Yuk !!
