Schaefer

16oz aluminum can. BB date 06-08-9 on bottom. Appearance: Poured into a .5L willy becker. .5 inch quickly receding white head atop a clear tan-yellow body with tiny and lively bubbles. Nose: Ah, sweet corn. Smells like oxidize wheat beer, if that makes any sense. I presume this is a lager? Palate: Sharp entry with light carbonation and medium- to light-body. There’s some sweetness to it, but it’s kept in check by that crisp sharpness. Light biscuit and corn-on-the-cob, with a hint of hop bitterness on the finish (which is short and unpleasant). Notes: Not a great beer, I gotta say, but not far off from BMC. I’d actually rather drink this than any of the Big Three because there’s less offensive flavors here than in any of the others.

A typical lawnmower beer.Wheat and corn overiding my palate with a slight bitter finish.

Drank from can while hanging at the Brother In Laws on Easter. He is a non beer person, so, you know. Gotta drink whats available. This beer was okay I suppose. For canoeing, camping, etc...A bit of a skunky taste going on that I didnt really care for, but not horrible

golden with a one bubble stream of bubblus that doesnt quit when poured. golden and dry with a touch of sweetness and a beery taste that our fathers put up with for 30 cents a glass. grain, corn yep and a wisp of hop. it wasn’t bad i guess.

Bottle from the Otown throwdown. I forgot there were actually 4 joke beers and this one was tied as the best...but still undrinkable to me. Grainy, corn, old faded hops. Yuck.

Pale gold color, fizzy. Citrusy nose? Bready, with a seemingly citrusy finish. Malts are a touch too juicy to be properly refreshing here. Overall not bad.

12 ounce can from State Line Liquors. Pours a light golden color with a medium head and lots of visible carbonation. Poor head retention and lacing. Aroma is grain and a bit of corn and grassy hops. Taste is generic grain with a bit of corn. Thin and watery.

This was my father’s beer of choice when I was a child. I drank this stuff when I was 9 years old. It seemed so much cooler back then. It pours a typical pale lager yellow with a foamy white head. Aroma is phenolic and full of grain. It is actually a fairly strong aroma. Flavor isn’t too bad. I would drink this before Bud Light or Natty Light or some of the others. I would still put the High Life first, but Schaefer isn’t a bad choice when going for quantity over quality.
