can Dad used to buy a case each week on pay day. This was an american staple in our house. Taste of watered down corn but it is the one beer to have when you are having more than one. I guess that means it is to get loaded on.

Poured from the can into a tulip glass. The aroma is of corn and malts. A big foamy head at first but it fades fast. The beer is almost see through. It tastes smooth but is very, very light with a malty after taste.

2008 Can in St Barths - The irony here is what attracted me to this 11.2 oz can of "America’s Oldest Beer." Not only was it in a childs 11.2 oz can, it was made in Puerto Rico and was "not less than 4% but no more than 6%%...two tidbits that I was able to gleen from the label...Pours transparent yellow with a minimal head and almost no lacing, aroma is grain, flavour is light corn malt and a touch of grain...not bad, but I probably wouldn’t drink one unless it’s 98 degrees outside and the hose isn’t hooked up..

A solid cheap beer. Not a showstopper by any means but pleasant and refreshing when iced down. Much better than other beers of comparable price.

’The beer to have when you’re having more than one.’ Tastes of corn and unwashed underwear. I assume it’s gold. I mean, It’s Schaefer’s, what am I going to pour it out of the can for? A few years back a buddy and myself ran through a 24 pack he got for about $6 as we watched the MLB playoffs all day and night. We dubbed it ’Bad Beer Night’ and bought the worst things we could drink for shits and giggles. As we drank on it became laborious, but we chugged on, laughing at the fact that we were tearing though a 24 of Schaefer. Not for the faint of heart.

Not good or bad taste, bland corn flavor. It was very cheap but I’m not entirely sure it was worth it.

No Beer Snob here. When you think of an American lager this is a classic. It’s cheap, my friends, because it’s not advertised - I can’t remember seeing an ad for this in 25 or more years.. It’s a great session beer in my experience. Put some Shaefer on ice, get it really cold and suck it down on a hot summer day...
