Schlitz is one of the best American (so-called adjunct) lagers. It has a straw, bubbly appearance with a standard head. The smell is stereotypical American beer as well as the taste. However, the beer really does have "just a kiss of the hops," which gives it that special bite. Mouthfeel is watery and light. Drinkability is excellent, and this beer should go well will fried seafood or barbeque (or by itself, which is how I drank it tonight). It's a classic, and I love it. I drank this from a 12 oz. can poured into a beer glass (an actual old Schlitz beer glass).

From a six pack of Tallboys a friend bought for me when he visited friends in Milwaukee.

Poured from a 16 oz can into a mug, served at fridge temp.

appearance: lemon yellow with a 1 finger white head that fades away to nothingness quickly.

aroma: subdued noble hoppiness

mouthfeel: soft and smooth, good for an adjunct lager.

taste: solid malt heft, balanced perfectly with hops. finishes clean. very tasty.

notes: The poor head retention and lack of lacing detract from an otherwise very nice beer. Taste-wise I think this beer edges out Pabst slightly but Pabst is better all around. Still, I could drink this all day long.
