12oz can. Super pale yellow color, but excellent head retention and lacing. Light grainy aroma. The flavor is a little sweet with pretty much no bitterness. You can really taste the grain flavors much more than in more mainstream macros. Husky and corny flavors are quite apparent, but add some character that I feel gets lost in the pure flavorlessness of miller or bud. Definitely tastes cheap, but hey, it is. Similar to PBR, but a side-by-side shows it to be a little rougher. Though it’s still only suitable for occasions where you are forced into the style, Hamms really does seem to be a good example of the american macro lager.

Sep 16, 2008 Not as bad as Bud, but not much better. I think they got this beer from the bear that used to do the commercials. Nasty stuff.

Sep 14, 2008 Only after having this fairly recently, I asked myself if I had ever reviewed it. Hamms is like an old american (mainly 60’s-70’s wisc) traditional brew that has dusty, cracked faded signs still hanging around redneck bars in the northwoods of Wiscnsin still promoting it. I had it again last week when my friend got 2 for $1 at a local bar here in Madison.
Pours a bright pee yellow colour with a full but quickly dissipating white head. Aroma is grainy, malty and lemony all the way through. Nothing too spectacular, nostalig for some im sure- but otherwise a waste of time and the liver.

Sep 1, 2008 Pours golden/yellow color with a white head that surprisingly, does not dissipate immediately. Aroma is malts and corn. Goes down like water. Perfect for binge drinking, and that’s all.

Aug 7, 2008 I love the haters of good, summertime beer. Hamms is a fantastic old favorite. Yeah, you’re going to have a stiff hangover, but don’t drink 12 of them. If anyone knows where to find Hamms on the East Coast, let me know.
