1.1 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 3/20Canned (thanks heemer77). Pale yellow colour, big foamy white head. Aroma is very much vegetables and sweetness. Flavour is very sugary sweet along with maize.
0.5 AROMA 1/10 APPEARANCE 1/5 TASTE 1/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 1/20
Old dirty dishes, trash, jockstrap on the nose. San pellegrino soaked in dirty laundry on the mouth. Blech.
2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
Aroma is light citrus, yeast and grains. The flavor is malts, slightly metallic and a mildly tart finish.
1.3 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 4/20
Draft. Pours a clear, pale gold. Not much in way of aroma. Taste of grains and skunk. Light bidied with a thin texture. Fizzy carbonation and no finish. Iverall, not cery good.

Another oldtimer that was less than stellar way back when and hasn’t improved much with age.

Can. I wanted to try all the classic milwaukee beers. Not great not terrible.
3.1 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
Blatz has a thick, white head and a clear, bubbly, straw appearance, with minimal associated lacing. The aroma is of sweet, musty grains, and the flavor is of grass, sweet grain, and a touch of hop bitterness. Mouthfeel is light and watery, and Blatz finishes crisp and dry. Overall, this is very good, and I recommend giving it a try. RJT
1.9 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 1/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Plain, but okay. A good, standard "old man beer" if ever there was one. Folks I know classify this with brews like PBR, Stroh’s, and Schlitz - decent, basic beers that are affordable, "taste like beer," and are better than malt liquors or crap like bud lite. Unoffensive but not tasteless - you get a touch of malt and a hint of hops to go with your corn/adjunct. If one were to rate all American-style macros, this would likely be somewhere in the type third or quarter. A problem is that it is only available here in 15-packs of cans.
1.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 4/20
So this is a thing now. I haven’t seen this in Chicago yet, so I’m guessing it’s some initiative to introduce more sub brands to the market. It’s a bit more expensive than PBR, but on tap for about $2. It’s fairly innocuous: mild straw and vinyl taste. Quite unforgettable. Cheap. Lots of sugar corn flavor.
1.1 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 4/20
Aroma of overcooked vegetables. Check. Weak piss yellow sickly hue. Check
weak slightly semi-so sweet corny body with a dirty clumsy finish. Check. You are holding a Blatz. So sorry.
2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
Can at Reggie’s. Another of the old school, granddad brands. Pale yellow with a dissipating head. Nose is corny and generic, but in a good way. Reminds me of the smell of ’beer.’ On taste, pretty robust flavor profile, soft pils notes and some maize. Soft bitterness. Nothing showy, but not bad at all.
