2.73/5 rDev -6.8%
look: 3 | smell: 2.5 | taste: 2.5 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3
Poured this one into a standard pint glass and the beer produces a good white crown of foam, and the he body is gold and clear.
In the aroma there is corn, grainy huskiness, metallic hops, and that dextrin kind of smell.
The taste is of cereal grain, tobacco, and a little corny.
Feels thin and crisp, leaves the palate moist

On tap at Lazy Dog in Orange, California.
Listen, Raul be sick of people givin Pabst a bad rap cuz it's a "hipster beer." Whatever. I started drinking it ten years ago in high skool (before hipsters were invented) and it's legit.
It defi is not tha best, but it does give Bud, Coors, and Miller a spank in da ass. Don't expect excellence, just drank da damn thing n enjoy ur night. I always do.

I actually don't mind PBR. It quickly went from the beer of lower class white folks to the mainstream hipsters or fraternity folks. It's has a crisp look and mouthfeel that actually comes across as somewhat sweeter than normal american pilsners. I prefer on draft and very cold as when it warms, it becomes pretty harsh. take it for what it is and that's a tailgating/beer pong beer but "free beer" rules still apply.

3.32/5 rDev +13.3%
look: 2.5 | smell: 3 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3.5
Appearance - 2.5
Pours a centimetre of dense white foam which quickly receded to a thin layer over a clear, pale straw coloured body.
Smell - 3.0
Light aroma of corn, powdery husk and a trace of grassy hops.
Taste - 3.5
Not a lot going on flavour-wise, but nothing offensive either. Light grainy, husky malt flavour, corn(?) and lightly grassy hops. Finishes with a pleasant, slightly bitter lingering finish.
Mouthfeel - 3.5
Light bodied and moderately carbonated.
Overall - 3.5
A fairly to-the-book adjunct lager with no nasty surprises.
