1.4 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 5/20
UPDATED: MAY 25, 2005 Uniquely bad even for the style. I am not a fan of any of Hamm’s beer despite being a fan of some similar brews. This one is too sweet, corny, overcarbonated, reeking of acetylhyde and watery with a strange after flavor. I found in hard to drink, which pretty much kills the cheap beer experience.

UPDATED: APR 14, 2005 Opening the hunting camp in the fall is a magical experience: the musty smell, the Hamm’s signs dusted with cobwebs, the brisk autumn air...The leaves crunch under my feet as my worries disappear in that Upper Michigan wilderness. An owl can be heard in the distance. Back at camp, the sauna and barbeque get lit, and a cooler of Hamm’s and ice takes center stage. The sun goes down, and coyotes howl at the full moon. I climb into my down sleeping bag, gullet full of Hamm’s. I wake up and have Hamm’s and eggs for breakfast. The road hunt is on, with good cigars, hardroll sandwiches, Waylon Jennings on 8-track, and plenty of ice cold Hamm’s.

Can
Hmm. I’m not going to pour this one into a glass, so I’m going to tell you what I think it looks like. Clear gold/dark yellow. Small wispy head and lacing. Nose of strong corn and grains. Grassy hops. Weak alcohol aromas. Again, the flavor is pretty much the same as the nose. Lots of corn and grainy characters. The hops are now slightly bitter and a little bit sour. The mouthfeel is watery and the flavors don’t last long enough, but are there too long if you know what I mean.

Can
Wisconsin is the land of clear blue waters? Hmm, news to me. The ol’ HGD just doesn’t do anything for me. Corny grainy flavor...wait, there’s flavor! Finishes a bit acidic and watery. Another pale lager brewed in the american tradition. $9.45 for a 24 pack though...

not a beer that can be recommended, very smooth watery beer. Strong corn overtones. No real malt or hops presence. fairly similar to regular hamms in quality. Definately Bear piss

Smooth tasting, and rather creamy mouthfeel. There is actually some flavor to this one. Slightly harsh at the finish but at least you know it has some life to it. Not the best of the bunch, but far from the worst.

I love HGD.. It comes in a cool black and gold can and the chicks think you're cool for drinking something different. Who the hell am I kidding , the omly chicks I hang out with are my wife and she could give two shits less. Anyway this is just something you drink straight out of the can. Who cares about pouring this cheap stuff into a glass. I paid 10 dollars for a case of this stuff. Not a bad deal when you consider most other macros are at least 14 or 15 dollars for a case of cans. Try this beer.
