| Smell | The smell is not one of PBR's finer qualities, corn, earth, sulphur, tin...funky and unpleasant. | ||||
| Appearance | Clear pale golden yellow with a fizzy head that disappeared quickly. | ||||
| Taste | Drink it ice cold and drink it fast. At 33°, the taste is not all that bad if you hold your nose. At 34°, things go downhill quickly and the smell gets even worse. At 35°, pour it into a pot and use it to cook bratwurst. | ||||
| Comments | PBR is not a beer I would normally drink, but one was plucked from the ice and hurled to me from a second story balcony into the pool. I had just finished a sweltering round of golf and I must admit, it tasted pretty good and I even asked for another to be thrown to me. But, after having one in the controlled environment of my house, it was pretty bad. The key to PBR is to drink it ice cold. The best thing about PBR is the old school design on the can. | ||||

Terrific post. I think you're referring to what I've come to call "setting and circumstance." Meaning that any beer can taste "pretty good" or even "darned good" or "great" if sampled under the right circumstances and in the right setting. I find that even a bad beer is "pretty good" if you're so thristy you find yourself chugging the first half of the can or bottle. We need PBRs and their ilk in this world, don't we?
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely true.
ReplyDeleteWhere you are, what you are doing and who you are with are very important parts of the enjoyable beer drinking experience.
If I am hot and thirsty, I have no problem with a PBR, Bud, etc.
