Heilemans Old Style

Pabst Brewing Company
Brewed at Miller Brewing Company (MillerCoors)
Style: Pale Lager
Woodridge, Illinois USA

Can from Kevin42. Pours watery, slightly acrid taste. Thin. Unimpressive. I would drink this to get wated, not the pleasure of drinking it. Not bad like some brews I have had, just bland. Another macro-shit.

Pee yellow, very watery. My family used to drink the crap out of this stuff when I was a boy, I can’t figure out why.

pours a clear yellow with a big head that fades extremely fast, has a sour hop aroma that is not pleasant. taste is better than expected, but i wasn’t expecting much. tasted much better when i had it at a cubs game, but the ambience of wrigley can make a lot of things seem better.not bad for 12 bucks a 30 pack.

Old Style was once a excellent beer. I remember drinking it on tap in Lacrosse (where it was brewed by Heileman). Superb lager. That was in the mid-1970’s. Today... it’s an average brew.

Poured a nice, urine yellow. A lively smell of weak hops, compared to a lot of macros. Okay, time to drink. Oooh, water thin. Hints of malt, and really no hops. Smelled great, but Not bad for $4.20 a sixer. A better deal than most Bud and Miller products. I’ve heard it was better in the old days when owned by Heileman’s and brewed in La Crosse.

The beer of the Cubs. Had this at Wrigley. Pours a dull yellow with no real aroma. Taste is a stale malt, kinda like cardboard. Leaves a bad taste in your mouth. Funny, when the Cubs play the Cards here in St.Lou they actually sell this at Busch stadium for the Cubs fans.

At the Cubs game. Not awful, but not good. Not a clean tasting beer. A more hopppy, more bitter beer would be exceptional. The way it stands now, it needs help.

Another typical Miller product. This beer may be OK to drink at a ball game on a 90 degree day when nothing else is available, but I can't think of any other reason to buy it (and I wouldn't pay 5 bucks a cup at a baseball game, either.)
