Price: Approximately 58 cents a can ($12.99 + tax for a 24 pack)
Aroma:
A light skunk (probably a mix of hops and sulfates), a hint of malt, a bit of metal
Appearance:
Light gold, very clear
Style:
American Adjunct Lager - A lager that in addition to malts such as wheat and barley, use un-malted grains such as corn & rice for sugar
Flavor:
Thinly malty, slight hop note, finishes bitter. This is not typical of this style in my experience. This is not to say there is no sweetness, but it's more in the body than in the finish...which is surprising. The finish has a bit of a bite, which I appreciate...it keeps you coming back for another sip. Since it comes from a can it inevitably has hints of metal, which in an odd way rounds out the flavor.
Mouthfeel:
Light!
A Word On The Warm:
The warmth doesn't really bring anything else out...perhaps a bit more of the thin malt flavor. You also begin to taste the alcohol, it's not overwhelming, just present.
Comments:
This beer was a great starter for this experiment. It is a perfect example of the American adjunct lager style. There's nothing really crazy about it, which is probably why this beer has been around so long.
It is produced in large quantities and my bet is it's consumed in the same fashion. You could easily drink them one after another without much affect other than being full.
This is one of the many brands that Pabst Brewing Company has bought out over the years, but still has a rich history, and a flock of loyal fans across the Midwest.
Recommendation:
I would totally recommend this beer to friends, for its affordability and light and semi-tasty flavor. I would buy this one again.
Conclusion:
Blatz won't break the bank or your taste for beer.
