Blatz

Pabst Brewing Company
Brewed at Miller Brewing Company (MillerCoors)
Style: Pale Lager
Woodridge, Illinois USA

Blatz are we serious? Why do we do this to ourselves. Use it on the grill to put out a fire (try not to get to much on your food).

Canned. Clear pale yellow, brief head. Aroma? What aroma? Perhaps a whiff of vegetable soup? Sweet and soapy, light bodied with rounded mouthfeel but very, very empty. Perhaps some corn and rice flavuor, and definitely lots of water. Absolutely no bitterness. I believe I should be able to separate this from sparkling water in a blind test.

Blatz Blatz, my old friend Blatz. Quite a name, isn’t it? I remember when throwaway bottles came out and this stuff was really popular, now I’m showing my age. I had to buy a few of these to rate just for old time sakes so I rate as I drink, this is not by memory. Has a nearly sweet cornlike aroma typical of many pale yellow american lagers and the appearance of course is that of the ubiquitous pale yellow american lager. Taste is more impressive than the Blatz light and the flavor is how I always remembered it. Has that unique attribute of Blatz, I see the sale of this recipe has not changed the flavor much. Friendly, cheap and easy to get along with. Not a bad pale yellow lager by any means. Much better than many lagers I’ve tasted especially better than King lager and any of the City lager types. Even better than Henninger Premium Lager! The finish of this suffers from just a bit of industrial bitterness that makes it a little less enjoyable than beers of similar style like schmidt’s or carlsburg. However, overall, not bad.

Canned (thanks heemer77). Pale yellow colour, big foamy white head. Aroma is very much vegetables and sweetness. Flavour is very sugary sweet along with maize.

I had heard stories of this beer while I was growing up in the northern woods of Michigan. In my later years I was unable to find this beer available, until I showed up in a bar in Hougton Lake, Michigan and Blatz was on tap. Well I just had to try it, the price was only $3 for a pitcher, boy was it not worth it. Yuk !!

For being such a cheap beer it is actually not that bad. It is great beer for a weekend bender. You can drink quite a few and not have to worry about those tiresome headaches. In all seriousiness, for a cheap water downed beer you could do a lot worse

Used to by these in the returnables just to show you how long ago I had drank this. Tried this recently either the recipes changed or my memory has faded. Poured pale corn yellow, no head, corn smell, hardly any taste. Blatz is drinkable but would not go out of my way to acquire.

12oz bottle from 30 pack. cheep. drinkable. pale. booze. yellow. watery. I’d go on a second date
