Ahh Schaefer. Just for kicks I bought a 30 of this stuff and brought it to parties. People were amazed. When you crack one open there is a smooth sweet corn aroma and a similar taste. To be honest, I’ve had much worse, but if you drink more than you can count on one hand, you will be friends with Mr. John the next day. Beautiful can though.

UPDATED: SEP 21, 2004 As I was browsing for some beer at a local liquor store I stumbled upon a 30 pack of Schaefer. I was with my friend Paul, and Paul loves cheap beer. He's had almost every cheap beer known to man. When I showed Paul what I found he had to have it. So we went home with a 30 pack of Schaefer and a case of Shiner Bock. The next day Paul and I went golfing and we brought our trusty Schaefer along. He handed me a can and I cracked it open. I took a big chug and I was refreshed. Ahhhhhh!!!! Schaefer. Please hand me another! I want a bad headache. Yes. Schaefer is watery swill, but it's not bad. On your first sip you can actually taste hops. That's more than I can say about any Coors beer.

One of the first beers i ever drank. I can remember sneaking one out of my friends frig and taking it out in the woods to "drink beer". Sadly that memory is much better than mainstream brew.

(Can). Pale straw complexion with dissipating fluffy head. Actually leaves lacing on the glass. The flavor is mild and slightly malty. Best served ice cold. There are many worse pale lagers at twice this bargain price. This is the favored beer of my father-in-law. I’ve had this for years during summertime cookouts and with many memories. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

The aroma is...better than Colt 45. The appearance is...like unto a cheap beer...the flavour is...malty with a tinge of liquor to make you whinge, the palate negligible and the overall impression ehhh pretty uninspired.

Cheap. But it actually has some bite to it. A little after taste too.

Somethings just never die out. This is one that should. Makes my five worst of all time list.

One of the better old-school brands. Inoffensive, but not without its charm. Excellent for what it is, and for the price.

Pours like any other pale lager. Stronger, sweeter aroma than some others. Flavor is as expected. Not too bad for the style. I’d rather have a Pabst though.

Man .... I remember this beer with fond memories. Well, I remember it was cheap. I also remember it had clear adjunct flavor, but was a better beer than most BMC products. This was before it went to Stroh’s-Pabst-Miller. I haven’t had it recently, I imagine it will be as bad as normal Miller products.
