Commercial Description:
Since 2001, contract-brewed for Pabst Brewing (San Antonio), as Pabst no longer owns a brewery of its own. Piels introduction of Real Draft in cans was a milestone in brewing history. Today's Draft Style still offers that same unsurpassed tap beer flavor. Brewed by "Piels Bros. Brewing" - a pseudonym for Pabst.

Brilliant clarity with a nice straw gold color, bright white head, and very fine bubbles. The aroma is sweetly malty with a light nuttiness and a touch of hops. The body is light/medium and it has a good mouthfeel. The flavor is exactly as indicated by the nose: lightly nutty malt with a touch of earthy hop. A surprising amount of flavor. The balance leans toward malty sweetness but does not become cloying - although the finish is a little sticky in the mouth. Very clean, well brewed beer.

Pretty plain beer, has a slightly hoppy zing to it.

This is not horrible. Definitely better than Michelob, Heineken, Moosehead and some of the other more highly regarded high-school beers. Another one you could drink 20 of and not puke. I drank the better part of a twelve-pack that I picked up at the local beverage discount center for $4 plus deposit. I was actually looking for Schlitz, and almost settled for Schmidt’s, but went with Piels and am not regretting it. Pours light, has very faint taste but completely non-offensive. Virtually no aftertaste. I rate this well ahead of PBR from the same family of cheap US made beer.
