Commercial Description:
Another classic beer produced by Pabst Brewing Company. From the land of sky blue waters, Hamms is truly the beer refreshing. Hamms has a legacy of quality and tastyness that is unrivaled by any beer known to man. Back in the olden days, Hamms was traded by the Spanish for spices and fine silks from the orient, which were then transported across the seas and traded for more Hamms

12 oz. can. Yet another regional brewer that was swallowed up by one of the big boys. The Hamms Beer Barrel can from the mid-70’s is a classic and a favorite in my beer can collection. The beer itself is not very good. Pours a clear pale yellow with a fizzy white head that disappeared quickly. Very light aroma of corn. Flavor is corn and very light hops. This beer is cheap for a reason.

Wet cardboard aroma, foam is gone in a flash. Overall a lightly hop sweet corn/malt beer. I brought a twelve pack back from Rockford, IL and swilled numerous cans with Chinese food. Back in college we would buy a case (of 12) 40 ounce Hamm’s for twelve bucks. Three fortys of Hamm’s could get me by on a Thursday night on campus when I was low on ca$h.

Pours a pale golden yellow with little to no head. Aroma of corn, grains and some hops with a bland flavor.

It is amazing how bad this stuff is. Pale yellow,no head, no nose, no flavor, no nothing. I am embarrassed to admit I drank this stuff when I was younger. Ugh.

Pours a golden yellow color. Aromas of corn, grains, and a touch of hops. Flavor is crisp.

Pale yellow, macro frothy white head that dissipates. Same corny light hop aroma. Turns a bit papery as it warms. It has a slight edge at first, and then turns into a weird cheap watery sweet pale ale type of thing. I swear I need to do a side-by-side with some Hamms and MGD or High Life because this is the same shit. I almost swear I prefer Hamms products, maybe my tastes are becoming more accepting.

i was sort of raised on this beer. not that i drank a lot when i was a kid, but my mothers side was pretty much dedicated to it in the 80’s. i try it sometimes for sentimental reasons, and it does no justice. just gross. sorry aunt gayle.
