Commercial Description:
Since 2001, contract-brewed for Pabst Brewing (San Antonio), as Pabst no longer owns a brewery of its own. Brewed in Wisconsin for export to Canada. The "Genuine Gold" brand is not available in the U.S. but it closely resembles the Schlitz Genuine Draft can sold in select U.S. markets. Closely resembles Canadian lagers, a little sweeter and higher octane than typical U.S. lagers, but not by much. Low hops, some malty sweetness but adjuncts are noticeably present.

I give this one an extra point for color, flavor, palate, and overall because I did sense some of those qualities. What would "non genuine gold" look like, I wonder?

Can Oh, my, more big-brewer yankee heine juice. Poured well - a slightly oily-looking, slightly hazy light gold, bubbly, large frothy long-lasting fizzy head, even good lacing. Should have stopped there. Aroma of sour corn (like spoiled cream corn), weak icing sugar, faint stale hops, and an increasingly demanding skunk fragrance that made me think about rabies vaccine. Tasted worse - skunky, harsh, mineral brackishness, with a sour, stale grainy afterblech. Mouthblech was watery minerblech blech blech. *blech* And THANKS SO MUCH for making this SPECIAL BREW for us up here in the tundra, Pabst. Have another of our "kooky" cows.

Pulled this out of the bargain bin at the LCBO (aka. the "used to be part of a six pack" pile) Wasn't expecting much so I was actually surprised when I opened what was clearly a highly skillful mixture of 20 percent of a darn fine beer, and 80% water. It totally tastes like they brewed beer and added water.
