COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Roll out the Barrel: 5.0% Alcohol by Volume and 12 IBUs. A classic American lager and the workhorse of the Gansett stable. Available all year long in bottle, can and on tap! Quality Supreme: We brew our lager with six row malt, seedless hops, corn from Iowa, our lager strain (the same one the brewery has depended on since just after Prohibition), and the purest water from Lakes Ontario and Hemlock. Taste & Enjoy: This beer is brewed just right for drinking—crisp and refreshing. It’s got more flavor than other premium lagers, yet it’s one of the most drinkable beers in the world. Narragansett has the highest rating of all domestic premium lagers on BeerAdvocate.com, and received the bronze medal for American Lagers at the 2008 World Beer Cup The History: The Lager is old reliable. It was the first beer brewed by “The Original Six” back in 1890, the bestselling beer in New England from the 1930s to the 1970s, and the official beer of the Boston Red Sox from 1944-1975.

Note:
Contract brewed by High Falls Brewing Co. for since 2007, the production moving to City Brewing in La Crosse, Wisconsin in 2009 and then to the City Brewing plant in Latrobe, PA in 2010. It is anticipated that production may be returned to Rhode Island in the future.

Move over PBR there is a new hipster beer in town. Light pale yellow. Little nose, little flavor. A waste of calories.

Mystery beer night. This is actually not a bad beer for two bucks. Doesn't smell like crap and is pretty decent. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

jbruner (1129) - Tallahassee, Florida, USA - MAY 1, 2013

What can I say, for a crappy pale lager in a can, it’s over of the best, but it is still just that, a tasteless pale lager you drink out of a can as a substitute to PBR.

sonnycheeba (1916) - Federal Hill, Baltimore, Maryland, USA - APR 28, 2013

Tap. Pours clear gold with thin, fizzy white head which quickly dissipates. Aroma is muted with notes of caramel, cereal malts, apples, light floral hops, and faint corn. Flavor is dry, bready malts forward with supporting light floral notes, corn, and light fruit. Light/medium body and low carbonation.

LowBrau (67) - Tonawanda, New York, USA - APR 27, 2013

Has a clear, bubbly, medium yellow appearance with a fair amount of head that lingers for a while. Nose is malty and a little skunky. Smooth & light-bodied. Has balanced sweetness & bitterness, but is lacking in overall flavor and aroma. A textbook inoffensive beer.

Imaena (848) - Atlanta, Georgia, USA - APR 18, 2013

gsmitty80 (1593) - Washington DC, USA - APR 18, 2013

Skunk beer. Tasted like sweat and hops. Now brewed in New York. I knew it was bad when a beer that is namesaked for Rhode Island wasn’t brewed there. Novelty beer.

This beer is gross, it is like the New England version of a Papst Blue Ribbon (PBR). Gross go get something better.

AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20

chinchill (586) - South Carolina, USA - APR 8, 2013

Undated 16oz can served in a lager glass. Appearance: Sparkling clear, golden, and plenty both fine and coarse bubbles. Formed a nice foamy white head which had decent retention and provided surprisingly attractive lacing. Taste: too lightly flavored, yet the corn is more obvious upon tasting; lightly hopped, leaving it mildly sweet until the finish; fairly clean tasting. Mouthfeel: thin and crisp, with aggressive carbonation. O: not actually bad, but trivially different from other macro-brewery American Adjunct Lagers.
