This is more for the cheaper things in life, watered down American beer.

AAAhh ha haha hha. What my brother said. Sorry aunt Gayle, this beer is on par with Schmidt, Rainier and the likes of extremely low quality beer. Bitter piss.

A classic beer, but loses points for the damage it does to my stomach and the nasty hangover the next day.
2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Pours a light gold with a big initial head and big carbonation. Aroma is very basic. Wheat, grains, and light citrus. Flavor is very bland. Typical wheat, corn, and hops.

Not how I remebered it but servicable. Maybe as time has went by my memory has faded
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
From a 12 oz. can with a coded freshness date on the bottom of can, sampled ice cold in a pint glass, given to me by my friend Jon, who is a "lurker" on the site.
Poured a clear pale golden yellow with a large foamy white that settled into a thin sudsy lacing.
Faint macro lager nose, lemony, mineral salt and grainy metallic.
Good carbonation and a crisp, dryish, smooth light bodied mouthfeel.
Better tasting than what I was expecting, soft lemony hops, very brisk in their soft bitterness, sweet grainy malts, your typical thin macro lager malt taste, very subtle notes of sweet corn, not overly cooked, and a dry salty, grainy finish.
It has been ages since I’ve seen Hamm’s on tap, I’m sure you can buy kegs of this, its just that when I first started going to bars Hamm’s, PBR and Old Style were on tap everywhere in Illinois and Wisconsin, now I only see Old Style on tap, an unimportant observation I guess.

Grainy nose, with some sweet malt evident, faint hops, but that’s par for the style...wait, now I get it, it’s injecting some bare bitterness into the sweet malt factor, arriving at a funky feel. Definitely not bad, not unpleasant, with some character.
Taste: not much here, mostly moisture. Slim flavors, if any...grainyness, at best. Malt is shy in this respect, the water rises above anything else. It’s like lemonade without the lemon, and Kool-Aid without the Kool.
I can’t really recommend Hamm’s at all to anyone, unless your chief factors in deciding on a beer are cheapness of price and wateryness of flavor. There are many out there that fall into this category, Lord Love ’Em. I have a hard time knocking it...it’s not bad, it is what it is...but, it’s not much.
And they had a cool macot once, dress up in his costume, visit a strip club, and see what happens...

I remember this was my grandfather’s beer. The Hamm’s beer commercials of the 50s and 60s were entertaining. The animated permanent tavern advertising was top notch. Strange that someone posted a 1951-1953 bottle image on the left of this website. The Hamm’s beer of the late 1960s and early 1970s (as I remember stealing one from Grandpa’s fridge) tasted different than the Hamm’s today. Pours an average light golden young popcorn yellow with not much head. Aroma is like corn flakes and some thin hops. Taste? What taste? It’s very very light. Like a very watered down lager. Finish is thin and carbonated. Better than Budweiser and Diet Budweiser.
