Pymatuning Dam Beer

Brewed by Straub Brewery
Style: Pale Lager
St. Marys, Pennsylvania USA

Dusty and caramelly sweet nose, pale amber color, low frothy head. Light toasted maple syrup malt with a licorice tinge at the end. Oily mouthfeel. Thinish. Average.

Amber orange color, fizzy carbonation, little layer of a head. Alcohol malt nose. Honey malt but also cereal taste. Flat though. Average beer.

Well I gotta give props to the only beer I can think of that was brewed near my hometown, Greenville, PA. The beer is nothing speaciall but Pymatuning dam is where I always went swimming as a kid so there you go.

I remember the commercials when I was young - "Give me a DAM beer!" Maybe you just had to be there.

I had this about a year ago...but as gimmicky as the name was, the beer was pretty damn good...went down well, I wish I could find this beer again since it was good beer. :-)

Enticed by the case graphics which depicted a cheerful beaver on a damn proclaiming cheerily ’Best Damn Beer I ever had,’ I decided to try it. My friends looked at me in anticipation afer quaffing from the bottle--inquiring as to how it tasted. I responded..’It tastes like--like beer.. It’s like beer flavored beer. Everyone roared in laughter, mimicking me, until they tried it for themselves and came up with identical descriptions. This beer does not try to be anything special. There are no taste distractions. Dam beer tastes like--well beer. It is beer flavored beer. Don’t laugh until you try it! A simple unassuming beer that is neither deficient of some quality nor overloaded with it. Definitely a great find and a beer that should please the palates of most. The beaver wasn’t to far from the mark. It is indeed close to ’the best Dam Beer I ever had!’
