Similar in blandness to Pabst Blue Ribbon yet still a fav among Elks Lodge members and Shriners.

I do not understand all the thype. It really isn’t all that good. I can’t believe they actually put a Milwaukee PO Box on the label.

12 oz. can courtesy of a 6 pack a friend brought. An interesting macro lager, for sure. Aromas are largely sweet and corn. Well carbonated. No real hop character. Dominated by sweetness, corn, and other adjuncty qualities. Perhaps a hydrating beverage.. I’d have to drink several to get back to you on it. Still, a decent macro lager compared to the rest of the crap out there.

corn cobs/ wet grain on nose and tasting it was even more offensive, no body, no hops, no flavor except moldy grains , no nothing. beer that made milwaukee famous huh? this is the beer that probably pushed j dalmer over the edge

Actually has a decent flavor. Corn and sweet with a quick sour after. For a cheap beer this is one of my favorites.

Can from Walmart. I broke down and got this. Pours a light clear gold, white head. No real aroma, basically the same as other beers in it’s class. Flavor was fairly bland and had hints of cardboard. light body and high carbonation. Overall, it wasn’t bad for what it is but it is just another nasty cheap beer but better then other nasty cheap beers. I finnished the 12 pack and got a headach.....
