Sep 15, 2006 Judge this beer by what it is. Anexample of a post-prohibition lager. Considering the price, it really a bargain. The aroma is low hop but malty and clean with a distinct corn aromss. Appropriate to its style. The mothfeel is full with residual body from its corn component but without any off flavors. The appearance is deep gold and clear. The best feature is its drinkability. For a corn adjuncted beer its flavor is clean and pleasant. There is no starchy residue on finish but the malt balance is shifted toward sweet rather than hop bitter as I would prefer. For a beer of this price I am higly impressed. Its not great beer, the style its in is not great beer but its very pleasant and a good example of what it is. And...Its cheap.
By the way,I joined this site to rate this beer...it seems to be misunderstood by most of the other raters.

Oct 22, 2006 Honestly, this could be a lot worse. Very light flavor, mostly sweet malts but not too sweet, with a tiny bit of actual hop flavor.

Jan 26, 2006 Okay, I joined RateBeer to give this review - I hate cheap beer usually, but sometimes I gotta go old school for nostalgia’s sake and pick up some Blue Ribbon (etc.) - I’m 2 beers into this Reibenbach 12 and it’s not that bad for cheap beer. - the corn and rice reminds me of High Life, which I can handle once in a while. The can is very well designed and I have to admit, it was 99% of the reason I picked this up.

Oct 16, 2004 Can: Clear watery fizz, very light straw yellow. Nose of corn, fusel alcohols, grainy, floral hops. A metallic sharp watery taste with mild grainyness. Fairly boring and not fun. Booo!

May 17, 2003 A quick Google search found nobody famous by this name - not surprising! Light head, quickly dissipating. Light golden in appearance. Aroma - that patented Gluek twang - slighty sour and yeasty. No real flavor - just that yeasty twang and a lot of carbonation. The black can is kind of cool though - have to give them credit for that!

Oct 19, 2002 Dirt cheap and better than the price indicates (meaning it’s drinkable) Still bad though.

Apr 11, 2003 Updated: Apr 29, 2003Slight crackery, peppery lager aroma. Lackluster packaging, medium-pale gold beer with tall webby head that clings to the glass as it dies off. No hops, tartish and it loses almost all fizz immediately. Watery. If this were 7% ABV, then there might be some slight redemption, but as it stands it's just cheap, bad beer.
