Mon Mar 01 2010Prefer Ale to Lager, So right off the bat it loses a star. Loses another star because of the Green bottle. Green and Clear bottles are the devil of beer, it lets in too much light and causes that Skunkiness. However, for a Lager this isn't bad Beer and if you can drink it right away or get it from the tap then its not too bad at all. Overall, it's not my first choice for a brew, but you could do far worse than Becks.

Sat Jun 20 2009Beck's is alright, but there are so many amazing German beers out there that I do not know why someone would want to waste their time and money on Beck's. It is a good-quality lager, but it is not mind-blowing by any means. It has a rather mild flavor and no unpleasant aftertaste.

Tue May 19 2009Overrated, it may seem a little bizzare for me to give positive feedback on other green bottle standards, but not this one. However, st. pauli is cheaper than becks and heinkein has the keg cans going for it ( to help protect against the great opposition to beer, light). Not to mention I grew up with Pauli and heinkein too. I just have to slam becks.

Thu Feb 26 2009Sweet German lager aroma, unique style with a bitter taste. It’s a just above average beer that goes down smooth.

Fri Feb 13 2009Ordered it a few times back in the day, but it really doesn't stand out in my memory.

Thu Feb 12 2009Probably the best of the lagers in my opinion. Which given my generally low opinion of that style of beer, is damning with faint praise.

Thu Feb 12 2009In Germany, this is a really good beer. The imported product isn't anything special.

Fri Jun 20 2008A good lager beer. Green bottles need to be stored out of the light or the beer will become "skunked".

Wed May 28 2008I like Becks. Not too heavy tasting where you get the aftertaste.
by twansalem
Tue Mar 11 2008A good beer, especially considering that it is mass produced. However, when you consider that it is a German beer, it has to be held to higher standards. So if it was an American beer, I could give it five stars. But I just expect more from a German beer.

Mon Feb 11 2008A good German import. I'm not sure if Belgium can brew beer better than the Germans or not, but when they compete, I win.

Mon Dec 17 2007I discovered Becks about thirty five years ago and it is a nice hearty beer. It is not my first choice however.

Wed Nov 14 2007A pretty good lager, but would suggest Starobrno or Radegast instead.

Tue Jul 17 2007A great tasting beer. It's a shame they don't have Beck's Gold in the States. It is a less bitter brew in my opinion.

Wed Jun 27 2007A little too bitter for me.

Wed May 02 2007I always order it at the bar if there's the usually Bud, Miller, Coors only available. A good drinker and always reliable.

Mon Aug 29 2005Over rated. Does'nt taste good at all. I can barely stand it.
by boxersndanes
Fri Aug 26 2005I'd leave a five if they actually sold the original in the States! It was one of my favorites when I still lived in Germany. I was thrilled to discover it in an American bar, only to hand back the bottle after a few sips. I've heard that it had to have things added to the recipe in order to import it here. No clue if it's true, but I can tell you that the original stuff is worth a try, should you ever end up in Germany.

Wed Jun 15 2005This is a disgrace to German beers, I was expecting something really good being a beer from Germany but it was quite bland and ordinary. The only thing good about this beer is that it's made using Germany's purity law, that all beers made in Germany must only be brewed using, barley, malt, hops and yeast.

Thu Mar 31 2005Taste like honey after Brownie .. not better than Ottakringer.

Sun Feb 27 2005Beck's is a good, not great, German beer. What's a great German beer?: SPATEN (from Munich)!
by james76255
Wed Feb 16 2005It's okay if you're going to drink one, but does have an odd aftertaste.

Thu Jun 24 2004Hard to judge, the stuff in Germany was okay but the North American stuff is gross
