Hamms

Brewed by Miller Brewing Company (MillerCoors)
Style: Pale Lager
Milwaukee, Wisconsin USA

Surprisingly malty aroma with light grain and grassy hops. Malty start (for style, it ain’t doppelbock). Mouthfeel gets a bit of a slick corn oil feel, which really is tough to swallow and could be offset with some hop bitterness, should they choose to add some. Notably lacking in hop character, just pale malts and corn grits. And lots of sky blue water.

The can used to read "It’s the water." It should have read "It IS water." I would take an ice cold glass of chlorinated water over this stuff... well, maybe not. I WOULD have to give the decision some thought, though.

Thank you dad for having some of these cold when I was over and my beer was still warm. Clear yellow, ho head. Faint spoiled lager aroma. Thin, watery, and overcarbonated. Milky-lemon taste of corn. This stuff gives me a headache by drinking just one.

As a kid, I liked the bear on the old commercials. The bitter malt aroma brings back memories of church (Lutheran) picnics when the oldies would belly up to the bar to slam down this swill. Very cold, it’s drinkable. As it warms, it turns into a skunk. But I like the old bear.

"From the land of sky blue waters", Oops thats a dated statement. Now I see it's "Born in the land of sky blue waters", but brewed in the land of Crypto and sewerage releases for the local WWT plant. Yellow straw color with a full head of foamy white bubbles that dissipates over time to leave only a few spots of lace. Light corn sweetness and a hint of floral hops. Wow, is this one sweet. Not a real malty sweetness more of a dextrine type that runs though quickly with the spritzy bubbles. These american standards are tough to rate as there is so little to rate. You look for faults. This one, while sweet has very few faults (assuming the recipe can not be called a fault). American Standard at it more mediorce.

Metal, prossesed hops, mixture of hops and rice. DMS is everywhere and the metallic can will probably give me alzheimers. I wish I was drinking a good beer but this one is here in my hand. Hmmm, wish I could still trade this for spices and fine silks from the orient.

Can from Belmont Beverage. Pours clear pale color with an average frothy white head that diminished quickly with minimal lacing. Moderate sweet grainy aroma. Medium body and soft carbonation. Light to medium sweet flavor with a light sweet finish of short duration. I would not recommend this beer to a freind.
