bjl8691 (60), racine, Wisconsin, USA Nov 25, 2007 for some reason i get bad headaches when i drink old style not sure why but i enjoy the taste of it not bad overall WickerBrew (312), Chicago, Illinois, USA Nov 21, 2007 Reading the reviwes of this are great - everyone wants this beer to be good but it flat out sucks. I mean there is nothing I would rather be doing than drinking this at Wrigley right now, even if they are 6.50 there. But you can get the 30 pack for cheaper than a sixer of good stuff, and sometimes you got to do what you got to do. I give it a 3 spot for appearance because of cubs relationship and, hands down, THE BEST logo in the biz. naivepegasus (183), USA Nov 8, 2007 Updated: Feb 3, 2008Pours completely translucent yellow with a finger of white head. Very faint "hello, I’m a macro" odor. An artificial, almost metallic taste tat isn’t necessarily enjoyable, but still is far better than most macros. I guess. scoobysnak (249), Appleton, Wisconsin, USA Nov 1, 2007 Probably my least favorite of the throwback old style macro beers i.e. Pabst, Hamm, Blatz, Schiltz ect. And it came in a Chicago Cubbies commemorative bottle. Painful to drink because of that fact alone. Will get you drunk and that is about it. clockworkmecks (43), Michigan, USA Oct 23, 2007 not too horrible. it’s all over wisconsin. i mean if you dont have any other choice go for it. LilKem (1210), Marietta, Ohio, USA Oct 17, 2007 blah. lots of copper and metal in the flavor and aroma. more corn syrup in the flavor and mouthfeel was sticky and blech. yes folks this is the taste of chicago mmcdowell3 (13), USA Oct 15, 2007 bottled piss. no other way to describe the "flavor" of this monstocity Hammster (187), Eagan, Minnesota, USA Sep 28, 2007 16 oz. Cub fan can. On a personal note, every time I visit Chicago I ingest more of this than I do anything else--food, water, other beer, and md 20/20 combined. I am a fan of La Crosse Lager which uses the original recipe and am delighted that I can get the fan cans in MN now. It’s a stock lager that I’ve drank in cans, silos, bottle, pints on tap, and many pitchers too. Not to forget the many times in the Wrigley bleachers. It’s basically a stock lager but I never get a hangover from it. Pours gold and tastes better than other macros. The finish is smooth and these are not filling. It’s hard to recount all the times I pre-partied with a 6 pack of tall boys. This should be on tap at more places in MN. My favorite macro lager if for nothing but nostalgia.
