Big 24oz can, I was trying to be "ironic" by drinking this. OK, not really, I just have never had Pabst and the big 24oz can was $1.39. Not sure of the color since I drank from the can. Not much of an aroma, maybe a bit of corn and rice. Taste of corn, rice, a bit of sweet malt. No discernable hops. Better than Bud I guess, but that’s not saying much.

Can. Smelly aroma, "smelly" taste if I can say so, a little sweet and more than a little unpleasant. Wouldn’t award it a ribbon, myself.

yuck.. the first time i ever made beer with my brother in law we wanted to beef up the abv by adding extra sugar/honey to the wort.. the restult was a nasty-sweet undrinkable high abv beer.. this pabst reminds me of the disaster that was the first beer i ever made. simply put... this beer is nasty. when compared to micro ipa’s/belgians ect. this beer does not come close, but when compared to bud miller ect. this beer is still nasty. pay the extra 2 bucks and buy a case of yuengling

Awful. Nasty. Piss-looking. Should be called "Crapst". There’s a club near downtown Norfolk that sells these for a buck a bottle. No wonder, they want to get rid of them!!

Clear average yellow with a thin quick white fizz. Sweet corn malt aroma. Taste is more sweet corn, standard metallic macro note.

I never really know what to think of this beer. It tastes terrible, but for some reason it has its place and I still find myself drinking it from time to time. It pours nearly clear with large bubbles and next to no head. The aroma smells like an old bar that has a bit too much stale beer sitting around. This beer tastes different to me every time I drink it. Sometimes I find that it isn’t all that bad for a law mower beer, but others I can barely get it down.

"MMMMM……….Pabst Blue Ribbon the legend its self is sitting in front of me, should I be honored or horrified? Gold looking body with some brown thrown in and surprising long lasting quarter inch cap floats on top, actually looks not to bad for the style. The second I cracked the can and got the first whiff my mind went straight to memories of playing hack on some random guy’s front lawn as me and beercronic where pre-drinking prior to an Oilers playoff game, followed by mass quantities of over priced crap draft at the game, followed by fuzzy blackness. Aroma does have some noticeable metallic hops but this also come with cough medicine and corn. Taste is corn, metallic, cardboard (thanks jeff that’s perfectly what it is) and a slight skunky dark flavour that has a slight Euro lagerness to it. Oh and this beer taste really fake. Mouth feel is ok light and crisp what is good for the style. To analyze this beer is pointless this is not a beer you should think about you should just be drinking this in mass quantities in a brain dead stoopper for the purpose of drinking until you can’t feel feeling anymore."

The second-best mass-produced pale lager in the USA. This beer is so good out of a schooner, and has a beautiful head. Always goes down smooth. Excellent with any beer-oriented food, especially spicy hot food. Drink PBR ice cold, preferably out of the brown bottle. A true American classic.
