Old Milwaukee

Pabst Brewing Company
Brewed at Miller Brewing Company (MillerCoors)
Style: Pale Lager
Woodridge, Illinois USA

First off, i am embarrassed to rate this beer. It is only as an alternative to other cheap beers that I offer this review. It does not have a bad aroma, appearance or taste...rather it lacks the terribleness that is often found in beers of the same price range. My recommendation: don’t drink this beer unless you need an economical brew, but if you need a cheap beer, this is the one you want to grab!

Let’s cut to the chase, when you buy this beer, you’re not expecting much. To that end, it won’t dissappoint! Pours a very light, clear yellow. Somewhat fizzy, with a short lasting head. Not much to delight the nose, just some cereal grain aroma. Taste is like the nose; cereal grain and little hops of any kind. Old Milwaukee - it is what it is.

Light clear gold color no head. Aroma is sweet and bearable. Actually slightly beery. Sweet a flavor aroma with no real off flavors, has a taste of beer unlike some others. Still not great.

Can says: "America’s Best Tasting Beer". Well. I say “3FAveryRogues WORST rating.” 6 pack of 12oz cans for $2.99. At THAT price point its either THIS, Hamm’s or Milwaukee’s Best Ice. Busch and the other crap, though pints (High Life, Old Style, Budweiser) are at least 30-90 cents higher, canned. Like it matters? All are bottom shelf junk. Similar to walking to the grocery checkout with adult diapers, tampons, suppositories, condoms, prep H, or any other embarrassing hygiene product. YOU KNOW! @ 22 years old, the clerk definitely looks twice when you’re buying this. My regulars, who are on a first name basis, pretty much started recognizing me from the $10+ bottles and 6ers. Pretty embarrassing to bring THIS to the counter. Like Franzia, Carlo Rossi, or King Cobra. Definitely caught an eye. Maybe some pity. BUT. I AM on hard times. I’ll give this a rate: [A] Corn. Sweetness. [A] Canned. And I wouldn’t give this the liberty of a glass. Even the can is ugly as hell. I know what to expect. Pale piss yellow. White head. (Rating from prediction. Oooh! When’s the last time you heard that?) [F] This tastes like metal. Tin. Aluminum. Grainy. Metal linger. That’s all it comes off as. Very weak corn and hop imitation that turns extemely rancid. Garbage. Even IF this has been sitting in the basement for too long. Nasty. [P] Yes, I would rather drink water. OR O’Douls. O’Douls is a million times better than this. With a better body and profile. *ANY* other macro but this. *PLEASE* I would give a 4 in palate to MGD @ this point. 3/2/3/4/8. Just terribly metallic here. Off. Offensive. Gives a terrible feeling to teeth in your mouth. Over carbonated once it hits the tongue. Wants to infect and spread. Can one compare a beer to AIDS? [O/D] Had I not contemplated suicide while rating this, I may have given a decent score. Hell. I can do my macros time to time. I can show respect for duping almost the entire U.S. market+. Bars, social events, family drinking, etc.... Drinkable American Lagers ARE a great task. It has to sell. And sell WELL. THIS was just forbidden, unless ICE ICE ICE ICE cold. EVEN L-i-t-e, MGD and Icehouse was a relief to this. Terrible. Who the fxck keeps Shlitz/O.M. in business?!?!

Can, of course. Light yellow, watery pour. Not much head. Corn and grain here, but no cardboard or metal, really, so that’s at least an edge up on some of its competitors. I’ll drink more of this.

Pours a yellow almost clear color. Aroma of maize, and corn. A strong distinct flavor of corn that gets less through the beer. A typical pale lager, nothing special.

Can pours a clear, pale yellow with a foamy, but short-lived white head. Corn and honey in the aroma. Light flavor with subtle presence of hops. Very little in the way of an aftertaste. Quite easy to drink though.
