All I have to say is Rheingold was the absolutely best tasting draft beer EVER. To this day nothing has come close. How I wish I could drink it again. Maybe someday on the other side.

Rheingold jingle from the 50-60's
My beer is Rheingold the dry beer
Think of it whenever you buy beer
Its refreshing not sweet
Its the extra dry treat
Won't you try extra dry Rheingold beer?
My dad who was not much of a beer drinker had a rotating staple of Rheingold, Schaeffer and Schlitz. Did not know that it was still being brewed under the Rheingold label
But I digress!

Poured a pale straw yellow with a tight small bubble white head. Head had average retention and left some decent side glass lace.
Aroma: Not much there. Slight cold metal smell and some earthy tones, and some distant lemon, nothing offensive.
Taste, not sure what I am getting here. Like the ad says "not sweet" and it is quite dry just does not deliver much taste.
Overall not a great brew but I would rate it (apparently) better than most.

Pours a clear golden with a thin white head. Not much retention, and very little lace. Nose is weak. Some hints of grain, and yeast. Body is light and carbonated. Taste is light grain, and malts. Crisp, refreshing. Sweetness in the finish. This would be a decent session beer in my opinion. espicaly inb the Summer.

My Beer is Rheingold the Dry Beer . Indeed it is Dry with a slight Sweet Taste to it. I'm glad they brought back this Beer because its a good Cheap Beer. I know some people don't like Rheingold but everyone has there own taste. Its a great Summer Beer and Winter Beer too.

A - Medium gold with a slight haze. No head. No lacing.

S - Mostly corn with a trace amount of grains. Bland.

T - Just like the smell. Light and almost tasteless. Taste like a light beer.

M - The mouth feel is about right. Average. High carbonation kinda sharp feeling to it. Not too bad though.

O - This is a below average AAL. I would rather drink Bud Light over this. I bought this because I was in a rush and for some reason this looked like a Czech Pilsener. Which would have been ok. I would never buy this beer again. What a waste of 7 dollars.
