"Tall Boy" into pilsner glass. Light pale yellow color with foamy white head. Aroma of corn, sugary grainy malt, hay and light hops. Taste is pale malt sweetness with the slightest hop bitterness. Light body, fizzy, watery, inoffensive, refreshing. Price is right, under $1 for 16oz. Okay lager.

The Beer That Milwaukee famous. A standard, old school beer that you’d sneak from your dad’s supply in the garage refrigerator... or you drank it at some rock club where it was a buck a can on 80s night. A run-of-the-mill American pre-microbrew-era staple of Midwestern drinkers far and wide. It’s pissy, it’s practically flavorless, but it’s reasonably good as a thirst quencher on a hot day. However, right now it’s March.

hammerslammer brougt over a 6 pack of shlitz from his trunk. 2 were missing, however, which is a bit curious... onwards and upwards to become the #1 pale lager drinker of the day.

Bottle from giant eagle. Pours pale yellow with mild thin head. Nose of corn and sugar. Light mouthfeel and goes down easy. Balance is ok but weak and aftertaste of malt and cheap sugary corn isn't the best. Ok for a cheap mass made beer but that's about it. ---Rated via my mouth

Can. Pours clear pale gold with a small, frothy white head, short retention with good lacing. Aroma is corn, Pils, and grain malt with light hops. Flavor is malt with light hops and bitterness and a dry finish. Light body and medium carbonation.

Just terrible. The combination of grains, corn, and yang flavor are somehow exactly what I cannot handle. I still cannot tolerate more than two swallows.

Tastes the way a default beer should. Not to hoppy, with nice grainy goodness. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone
