This beer’s got balls. In 48’ when my ship pulled back in from that Kraut country Deuthchland, after takin schrapnal in ass, watchin my friends die next to me, and contracting the clap from a french whore...the only thing that calmed these nerves was a glass of ice cold Falls City. Im 84 years young, I’m in the sunset of my life, all my battles have been fought,i’ve got no fight left in me, I look forward spending the last few years of my life getting shit your pants drunk on this great american beer. Any questions or comments,,Go F**k Yourself Sincerely, Lt. Col George "Rusty"Cosgrove

Had this beer on 5/31/2000. Aroma is a sweet and somewhat sour malt scent. Carbonation is low as well as the head. Color is a pale gold with a ton of shit floating around that looks like some one put a pinch of chew in it. Taste is thin and watery light. Starting with light body it goes down with a sour odd taste. Finish is a sweet malt flavor that reminds me of a bad import. Overall this is one of the worst beers I have ever had.

In the can. Picked up a 6 of these in Louisville for nostalgia purposes. The cool thing was that they are still packaged with the plastic rings and not sold exclusively inside a cardboard box. This fizzy pale yellow white poofy headed beer is not as sweet as PBR or Olympia, but not as grainy as a BMC product. I’m pleased that Louisville still has its hometown beer, even if it needs to be brewed in a Yankee land. When will someone make Storz or Metz again for the thirsty people of Omaha?
