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.

Pours 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.

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.

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.
