It’s not bad, it’s just not very good. Pours straw colored from tap with no head and no aroma. Taste is, let’s be honest, this doesn’t taste like anything. It’s an alcohol delivery unit. At least it finishes clean.

Pour pale golden straw color white head. Aroma cereal, cream corn, grain, very light hop. Taste cream corn, cereal, mild hops watery. Thin high carbed. Ok at best.

Delicious golden aroma... floral hops, citrus, roasted malts, horseblanket, allspice, butterscotch. Taste of braised pork shoulder, rich creamy chocolate, and butterbeer. Truly an epic journey for the senses.

(tap) clear pale yellow with small white head; sweetish cereal aroma, simple flavour, refreshing when cold, unattractive but not downright repulsive as it warms up, not bad as what it is, if you think that this is terrible beer than you have not had truly bad beer yet :-)

1 supercool bonus point for being the least shitty of the ’shit beers.’ Minus 1 for being the preferred drink of effin’ hipsters.

First off: PBR is called Pabst Blue Ribbon because, at the turn of the 20th Century, the bottles were decorated with actual blue ribbons tied around the necks. Not because it won a prize at a World’s Fair. You know, if you care. Second: PBR is a terrible, awful, aluminum-tasting crap macrolager that has no real value in the beer world other than to give hipsters something cheap to drink. (12/2/08)

I would say PBR is gross, but that would imply that there is a discernible flavor to the beer, which there isn’t. End transmission.

355ml can. Pale straw yellow pour with bright white head that doesn’t last at all. Sweet cornmeal on the nose with a funky urine quality. Tastes like sugar water with a mild corniness. About as good as expected.
