Commercial Description:
Schlitz's formula recalls the original hearty taste of the classic 1960's Schlitz - a true Pilsner, perfectly balanced between full-flavor and easy drinking, with just "a kiss of the hops." So, if you want to experience the gusto again, crack open a cold classic, and taste the world's second best selling beer of the 1960's.

Pours with a a very big white head that fades down after about 30 seconds. Lots of carbonation brings the clear golden liquid’s aroma of grain and grassy hops to the nose. Flavor is a bit sweet but not over baring but with not much corn flavor from what you see no a days. I agree with most that this is a beer I could see having in the house over the Miller/Bud lagers for people to enjoy and I really did enjoy this beer. Perfect for an outdoor party/tailgate.

A very good crisp refreshing beer great with a brat or by itself while enjoying the game. This reminds me of what beer is all about. Go for the gusto and try a Schlitz.

SO much better than the Schlitz of several years ago. Nice pale color with a ceiling white head, good full flavor and a slightly creamy texture.

A pretty decent beer - lightly sweet with a corn character and just-imbalanced by bitter, floral hops.

Floral hops, offset by a bit of biscuit. Nice looking pour, very pale, white head that’s nice while it lasts, but that’s not very long. Flavor has some grassy hops and a light honey malt profile. The first few sips were strongly biscuity, but that quickly mellowed out. Medium bodied, light carbonation on the tongue, creamy while the head lasts.
