A true blue collar brew. Watery and piss-colored but I must say the vintage 70s can does make a nice edition. Its straight outta a Starsky and Hutch episode. Overall I’d say with the 70s nostalgia you get alittle something extra with this macro.

Actually for a mass produced beer Falstaff, wasn’t that bad. I did’nt have this one for years, and did’nt know they had gone out of bussiness. The aroma was ok average appearance, enough flavor to satisfy, and ok on the palate. Most certianly it was eons better then Budwiesers offerings. If I had my druthers, I would druther have had Falstaff stay in bussiness and Bud close down

I liked this beer tho I can’t get it anymore.Was a bit weak but still had one of the strongest flavors of the now watered down beers since their purchase from "The Big Guys". I wish I had been drinking this prior to the buyout. I bet it was what I like in a beer.

This was one bad beer. Another cheaply made American lager. They finally put it out of its misery in June05. I have no idea what it looked like, because this was drunk only from the can. If its like most pale lagers, it looked suspiciously like urine, only colder. If you never tried it, consider yourself blessed.

Thank goodness someone had the self respect to discontinue this beer. I ralphed one night after drinking this. It was not pleasant. Ralphing, in general, isn’t a pleasant experience, but this seemed worse for some reason. The fact that I can remember this from almost 20 years ago stands behind my statement.
