awesome cheap beer. loved its flavor, too bad you cant get it anymore. i kept them in business as long as i could especially the college years. everyone i introduced it to loved it. please bring it back.

Goebel is not a bad beer for its type. I know a lot of people on here look at the low price and immediately label it as ’bad beer.’ What a shame that so many of us are narrow minded enough to believe that price has anything to do with the flavor and quality of a beer. Goebel admittedly is not as good as it once was under the Stroh umbrella. In fact, that’s what I’m rating here. I have yet to test any of the batches coming out of Miller. I don’t know if they’re using the old Goebel formula from Stroh (doubtful) or just putting Milwaukee’s Best into the cans. However, Goebel was always a good consistent tasting golden American-style lager. It’s certainly no worse than anything with a Bud, Coors or Miller label on it and the old stuff from Stroh was always superior to any Anheuser-Busch brand including Michelob. Great old brand name from old Detroit. They even had a brewery in California decades ago. I’d drink it for nostalgia’s sake. Glad to see it’s still around. Now it’s time to revive Pfeiffer for Detroit folks too.

Great memories of this brew.Drinking it with my grandfather when I was about 5 years old.( Old Germans let everyone drink.)Is it still around can it be purchased in Detroit still?

Goebel, the name kind of says it all. Tastes just like every other working mans beer. Not as good as PBR though.

this is as i remember it from way back, Goebel was absorbed by Stroh’s in the 70’s and the brewery was torn down, i don’t know what is left of the original but at it’s hey day it was not a bad beer

Just an average american lager without a big advertising budget.

Pale gold in color with a thick, resilient, white head. A clean aroma, a light sweetness there an is better than most macros. A not entirely unpleasant flavor. Clean, pleasant sweetness that lacks the corny, overly grainy flavor in most of these beers. A firm, medium/light body, and a dry finish. You could do worse.

Not so bad. Very much like Old Style or Pabst but with some more cooked vegitable aroma, which brings it down a bit.
