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

Can. Obviously nothing special, but no reason to pass this up for a Bud Light. Very watery and corny aroma and flavor. It does have the sky blue waters thing going for it however. For some reason, can’t help but enjoy it from time to time.

I’ve thought long & hard before putting my pen to paper here. . . . those of you who’ve lived it, who’ve sat beneath the glow of the revolving scenarama Hamms beer light in some lone midwestern tavern with fresh snow covering the gravel parking lot - to you I don’t need to explain. But how to describe the beating of the tom-toms floating over the lakes in the "land of sky blue waters" to those too young, or too accustom to the overpriced, overhopped hipster beers? That’s the challlenge. Pulling the tab on a Hamms isn’t merely opening a beer, but releasing the memories of millions of hard working Midwesterners collected over nearly 150 years. Like its subtle golden taste hints of warm summer evenings after chores are finished, or the first wisps of smoke from day’s campfire, the red canoe beached nearby. Your grandfather’s lake cabin in the "land the pines" among "the lofty balsams". The ambrosia of camaraderie among those sitting side by side in caps embroidered with the names like Deere or Case, along the darkened walnut railing in places called the Jorgensen’s Tap, or the Long Prairie Tavern trading lies about the size of last Saturday’s waleye. Folk such as this aren’t impressed by Madison Ave trends which fade like frost on the barrel shaped tapper glass filled, waiting cold and ready on the bar. They know refreshment. They know tradition. They know value. Hamms is more than a beer, its the nectar of our midwestern heritage. Its the crunch of snow under our boots after the long week as we’re drawn back to the stool under glow of the revolving Hamms light. The warmth as the door opens. . . . "Hamms the beer refreshing, Hamms".

Another cheap beer of the many that plague this country. For those of you that believe that this is your favorite beer, I’m sorry.

From a 16oz. can--pours a washy yellow body with a medium white head. Not much substance. Watery, metallic, adjunct flavors. Mild hops presence, but in general, a frat party beer.

Clear yellow, large head that diminishes. Aroma is bad. Grain, corn, unnatural goodness. Flavor is better, corn, grain, bread, sweet, moderate carbonation, watery. Bleh.
