I have been drinking this beer and only this beer for a couple of years now. It goes down smooth, the taste is good, with a good color. My beer of choice no matter where I am or what I am doing.

Multiple tastings that never should have happened. This review is from memory as I would never consider drinking one of these todays. It sucked. End of review.

I’ve discovered that a rat bastard friend of mine left a Hamm’s 24 oz can in my beer fridge (along with a Steel Reserve that I can’t even begin to understand.) So Rate the Hamm’s I will. I don’t know if I’ll make it to the Steel, but the Hamm’s could be passable....maybe. Light color, flavor, taste, smell, presence...pretty much everything. But it goes down easily and I think the half I consumed from the can as opposed to the glass actually tasted better. Perhaps it was that it was the second half as well....

Nothing new to report of this one. Crap beer. Poor aroma and flavor. Weak yellow pour no head.

UPDATED: MAR 6, 2009 I’ll admit, I’m not a fan of the ’beers you can chew’ or bitter hop-y beers. Why people like bitter tastes, or how that came to be is beyond me. The reason humans taste bitter and have this sense in the back of our mouths was to prevent us from eating or drinking poisonous things. Just say’n... Hamms is light and refreshing, something that’s great to drink after a hard days work, or when you’re over heated in the summer from mowing the lawn--- there’s nothing better. Unless it’s Hamms on tap in an icy mug, that’s even better! Hamms is a beer with an identity crisis. It sells for what amounts to .50$ a can here in MN (if you look hard enough), so it’s affordable. But it’s not a bad beer, like all others in this price range. It comes in a regal-looking can and has a good pour. "Sky blue waters" is the literal translation of Minnesota-- yet the beer is made (now) in Wisconsin. Also, the 30-packs have pictures of snow-capped mountains on them. These do not exist in WI or MN, trust me. Hamms might not do so great in taste tests or in the beer-snob circles, but I have a theory of why this is. The people who have the luxury of being professional beer judges or are able to attend fancy taste tests and spit their beer out after drinking it never work hard enough to know what a real thirst is, and what kind of beer it takes to quench a HARD days work!

Of what I like to call the "Yard Beers" (Schlitz, Pabsts, Olympia, Old Style & Hamms), this probably the mildest. Light in taste & easy to drink.Can’t say it tastes bad, because it doesn’t have have much taste at all. Easy to drink & goes down smooth.

Bottle, brought forth from the land of sky blue waters graciously hand-delivered by SuperDave70 himself. Pours a very light almost transparent yellow with a fizzy white head. Aroma is corn, malt, and of course sky blue water. Flavor is sky blue water, corn, a kiss of sweetness. This is actually way more enjoyable that I thought it would be. Refreshing pale lager, thanks SuperDave!

12oz can: Appearance is light golden yellow with quick fading white head, aroma fiizy with hint of malt and somewhat stale aromas, flavor pretty watery no real off flavors to speak of hints of malt and a ton of carbon dioxide. very simple pale lager but i guess you get what you pay for.
