Established in Milwaukee in 1844, this is the original Pabst Blue Ribbon beer. Nature’s choicest products provide its prized flavor. Only the finest of hops and grains are used. Selected as America’s Best in 1893.

Hipster beer. I drink it a lot, because it’s cheap, light, and not that bad.

Yellow pour, bland cardboard aroma. Flavor is a bit grassy and papery with some sweet corny notes as well. This stuff has a tendency to give me a serious stomach ache.

Draft at the local steakhouse. Pale gold with a thin fizzy head. sweet and buttery. no finish other than blah. Why did I have two?

A - Cardboard. Corny malt and grain. Maybe some grassy hay and dough. Fizzy yellow profile. A - Very light, almost urine pale-yellow into Surly pint. White head that recedes into nothing on top. F - Malt and grain midway. Again with the cardboard and dough. Sweet. Corn and honey. Metallic. P - One of the more poundable macros in my book. Nicely carbonated mouth. Pretty watery thin, with a slight tingle that finishes well. O - Drinkable. Non-offensive. Not good, especially flavorful, or unique. Par for the Pale Lager course. Still don’t know why 3Fs, and probably many other micro pubs, keep this on list in the cooler. Kitchy? Probably the best $4 you could spend on a 6 pack of canned micro, though. Really leaves me wishing America had fallen in love with the STOUT or IPA instead of the lager in 1893. If anyone gets drunk and invents a time machine, send me a message.

Golden yellow pour, either all head or no head. Corny aroma and taste with lots of fizzies but patriotic. Great label on cans and great for $1 pitchers.

24 oz can. Pours golden with some head that quickly dissipates. Has a unique velvet mouthfeel with a malty taste (much better than the adjunct taste of other pale lagers). This was my value party beer of choice in college, and still is today. It is the best $8 12 pack around.

Can at some new metal bar in Nashville. Many people on this site has said that this is one of the better pale lagers. I had not had this in ages so I thought "why the fuck not?" Pours pale golden with a white head. Sweet lagery and corny aroma. Light bodied with the typical macro carbonation. Flavor is basically sweet cereal grains and corn. I really struggled hard to pick up any detectable hops. This stuff is really not any better that the other mass produced pale lagers. I did not finish this. Terrible.
