I’m a bit ashamed, as I don’t get beers like this anymore just to tick away. In fact, I was fine driking about 10 drinks through the night, none of which were new. But, my collegues found out I had never had PBR, and after declining to join them in their round was ordered one anyway. I choked about half of it down, and well... it wasn’t memorable. Standard pale lager stuff, more on the watery than offensive side. I’m not even going to break this down into corn and other adjuncts and balance. P-A-LEEAAASSEE! Thanks, buds, but my liver was already over-worked, please kindly, no more PBR again!

Can from Kegs & Barrels in McKinney, TX. Pours a clear light gold, fizzy white head. Aroma of faint hops and malt. Flavor has a noticable malt and hop profile, faint, but noticable and not nasty. Mouthfeel is light bosy and high carbonation...I’ll be honest here, I was pleasantly suprised by this.....It is actually a good cheap lager compared to it’s usual competition....

Is it delicious? Not really. Is it perfect? Not even close. But, at a cookout, on a hot day this is the beer of choice for me. Add to that the local price of $5 for 6 tallboys and you have a combination that is difficult to beat!

Well, what can I say? It’s PBR. It’s got a mild flavor, it’s smooth, and best of all it’s CHEAP. What more could you ask for? Very light and easy to drink. Great beer for an even better price.

Had this for the first time. I must be going in reverse trying swill now. The only thing to say about this beer is that it is not offensive. I wasn’t immediately turned off by the taste. Quite clean with a little bit of sweetness on the end. but hardly any skunk. No flavor either way. Just clean and tasteless. Best swill I have ever had hands down.

Overall, the best tasting value beer on the market. For the price, nothing else comes close.
